11. TYPE OF COOKWARE -- Avoid pans that are unstable
and easily tipped. In choosing pans, look for easily-grasped
handles that will stay cool. Pans that are too heavy when v
filled with food can also be a hazard. If pan handles twist
and cannot be tightened, discard the pan.
12. HANDLES -- Always turn pan handles to the side or back
of the cooktop -- not out into the room where they are
easily hit. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED
INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SUR-
FACE BURNERS to minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the cookware.

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots
