Summer Kitchen Safety for Kids

  • Summary

  • In this ParentingU ExtraCredit episode, Our Lady of Lourdes Burn Center physician assistant Rachel Stutes shares her insights on summer safety, especially for kids. She emphasizes the importance of taking precautions to prevent burns and injuries in the kitchen. Key takeaways: Maintain a kid-free zone of at least three feet around anything hot, whether in the kitchen or while grilling. Place hot liquids away from the edge of counters to prevent young children from grabbing and reaching. When cooking, make sure all pot handles face backward to prevent spills. Avoid carrying a child while cooking or holding something hot. If you do get a burn, stop the burning process, cool it off, and remove any jewelry or rings. Place the burn under cool water for 5 minutes. Seek medical care if the burn is on the face, hands, feet or genitalia, if it is deeper than a first-degree burn, or if it is larger than the size of a palm.
