The kitchen is a warm and welcoming place, but there are dangers. Make your students aware of them with this video. Using examples and what-if situations, it explains how to safely use and store knives; how to operate small appliances and the stove without accidents; how to prevent bruises, shocks, and burns; and how to put out a fire (and when to simply evacuate and call 911!) The first step to avoiding kitchen catastrophes is awareness.
