| How to prevent and treat common injuries No images? Click here  With shelter-in-place orders still in effect in many parts of the country, people are cooking at home more than before. More prep and the potential of small children or pets underfoot means that accidents are bound to happen. Below, we've pulled together some tips on how to minimize mishaps in your home kitchen, and what to do when they occur. Consider these your guides to kitchen safety, no matter your skill level.  It’s better to avoid accidents than worry about how or when to rush to the emergency room. We’ve collected all of our best advice for avoiding injury, from learning how to hold a knife, avoiding burns, or injuring someone else.  We turned to Laurel Cudden, founder and owner of Grade-A Safety, and Mitch Cynamon, the owner of Initiate Care, who both advise restaurant clients on kitchen first aid, for their advice. We also spoke with Dr. David Baskin, a New York-based internist, to confirm at-home treatments and to understand when it’s a good idea to seek professional medical care at an urgent care clinic, and when to head to the ER. How Not to Light Your Kitchen on Fire In under a minute, a kitchen fire can grow to an inferno beyond your control. That's why you need to be prepared. We talk to an FDNY lieutenant to learn the ins and outs of fire safety in the kitchen.
