The kitchen is a place where we create good food and create happiness for our families, but if we are not careful, it can become a dangerous "battlefield" with serious consequences.

Therefore, kitchen safety is no trivial matter, you must not do these 7 things in the kitchen, there is a danger to your life!

I really didn't pay attention to this aspect before, after all, the frozen fish chops, pork chops, chicken chops, etc. bought from the supermarket are written on them "no need to thaw, you can fry them directly", so I subconsciously thought that all frozen foods could go directly into the oil pan.

Until a few days ago, my friend threw the quick-frozen dumplings directly into the oil pan to fry, but the oil splashed out a lot at once, the pot was **, and his hands were burned a large piece.

Because the ice on the food will quickly form water vapor when it meets the hot oil, and the gas will roll out from the bottom of the pot after expansion, not only the food in the oil pan will be fried, but also after the high-temperature oil overflows, it may also burn people and even cause **,There are not many such cases on the Internet.

The reason why some foods can be directly put into the oil pan is because the surface of this semi-finished food is covered with a layer of starch or bread crumbs, and the moisture contained in the inner layer will not cause oil splashes.

Therefore, before daily frozen food enters the oil pot, you must read the instructions, if there is no special instructions, you still have to thaw it before getting into the oil pot.

Here's another reminder, when the pot is hot oil, don't rush to pour the soy sauce, wait until the oil is half cool before pouring, otherwise it will also be fried.

The pressure cooker is easy to use, cooking porridge and stewed meat is soft, fast and convenient, and is the favorite of many cooks.

But if you use it improperly, it's really "frightening", a real case, it happened at my sister's house a few years ago:

She used a pressure cooker to cook mung bean porridge, but the vent of the pressure cooker was blocked by mung beans, and it was directly **, not only the lid of the pot was completely deformed, but the floor tiles of the kitchen and the glass of the windows were shattered, and the porridge was sprayed directly onto the wall and roof.

Therefore, it is best not to use a pressure cooker to cook porridge with particularly small particles such as mung beans and red beans, you don't know when the air outlet hole will be blocked, the safety hazard is too great, there is no need to take these unnecessary risks in order to save that little time, you really need it, you can use an electric pressure cooker instead.

Isn't it surprising to see this? Who sprays pesticides next to gas stoves?

Don't believe it, there really is, when I saw someone cooking a while ago,Seeing a cockroach crawling on the stove, in a hurry, I took the insecticide and sprayed it, and as a result, it was directly **, and 85% of the person's body was burned.

To know,All pesticides contain highly volatile flammable solvents, and the sprayed mist particles spread quickly, as long as the slightest spark and high temperatures occur.

Therefore, do not use any spray products when the fire is on.

Whether it's a raw egg, a hard-boiled egg, or an egg cut into several pieces, as long as it's an egg, you can't heat it in the microwave, because it will blow you up in the face (don't ask me how I know, I want to cry).

This is because, when the microwave oven is heated, the egg will be heated from the inside to the outside at the same time, and after the external egg white is heated, the heat will be emitted outward, and the high-temperature steam generated when the egg yolk is heated cannot be diffused outward, and as the heat becomes larger and larger, it will be exploded in an instant, which is why, some people use the microwave oven to heat an egg yolk crisp, it will explode.

Therefore, not only eggs, but all foods that contain whole egg yolks should not be heated in the microwave.

Especially if there are children at home, when cooking, you must put the knives on the inside of the countertop, do not put them on the edge of the stove, in case the child accidentally touches the ground, the consequences are unimaginable.

If you don't know how to store knives at home, you can imitate the practice of young people, buy a magnetic knife holder, and store it with a suck, which is not easy to fall off and hung on the wall, and children can't reach it, which is safer.

There are two kinds of panels for gas stoves, glass and stainless steel, and many people think that the glass panel is good to scrub, so they will choose the glass material.

But, to know,Glass panels, like glass, have a certain self-explosion rate, although the probability is not high, but if you encounter it, you will be in real trouble.

Moreover, in the daily process, you also have to pay great attentionIt's better not to use this kind of thermal conductive plate or somethingLong-term use will cause a large amount of heat to accumulate on the panel, which will cause the panel to burst, and there are not many such cases.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to choose stainless steel panels, even if you choose glass panels, you should also pay attention to the brand and maintenance during daily use.

Not only flour, coffee powder, starch, fish meal, etc., when the dust concentration reaches a certain amount, it will definitely happen when it encounters an open flame, and it is so powerful that you can't imagine.

Therefore, when cooking at home, do not open the gas stove to pour powdered products such as flour, when you need to add flour, it is recommended to turn off the heat to operate safely.
