Kitchen safety rule I learned the hard way was ____

Posted by JEP, December 30, 2007

There have been many over the years. One that left the most meaningful impression was the time a small sauce pan of grease came to the smoking point. Quickly yanked the pan off the electric burner, the grease burst into flames & I stupidly I dropped the pan on the kitchen counter...ruined the kitchen counter & melted the light fixture above. Some miracle did occur as flames died quickly & no one was burned. An expensive lesson, tho' I've heard safety may well be the most important cooking skill. What safety rule have you had to learn the hard way?
