foods
are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
Foods

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.

fats
will

melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly,
and watch as it heats.
Use
a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.

sponge or
cloth
is used to wipe
spills
on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
