Thank you for speaking about safety in the kitchen. It is very easy to get hurt if you aren't careful.

[@Justme77400]

One more safety tip regarding sharp knives: when you are finished using them, wash them immediately and put them away. Do not ever put them in a sink or basin of soapy water. Someone or you yourself might forget they’re in there and cut themselves. It only takes a few seconds to wash them, dry them and put them away.

[@raverunbroken9240]

I just thought of this also you can wear a gauntlet and bladed weapons won't cut you

[@Justme77400]

@@raverunbroken9240 😀😅

[@michealpersicko9531]

Also leaving them in water will cause them to start to rust since unless otherwise specified most knives are made of regular steel and will rust if not properly cared for since unless you catch rust just as it's starting out you can't stop it once it starts to penetrate more than the surface of the knife.

[@virginiaquinones-rogers3412]

One more tip on knives or any sharp object falling: Please step out of its way as it falls. If you are wearing slippers or flip flops the item may hurt your foot.❤

[@debabohn2555]

CatherineCummings, I agree with you! It’s important for someone to teach us these things if we haven’t been exposed to cooking and techniques. I remember having had to be taught or learn the hard way. I went on to be an ER nurse that had toteach a young person getting stitches how to avoid a repeat trip to ER or, worse yet, a parent with a child getting stitches because the parent left knives in water or unattended. I was surprised at how often kitchen skills came in handy to do a quick tutorial for those that came to the hospital because no one taught them. In my day Martha Stewart was all I had to learn from. I’m thankful for her and now for Pam. Thoughtfully teaching and putting forth the effort for others! 🥰

[@tpickett1381]

Hey Pam , Back on the day girls took Home Economics. The first thing Miss Pope told us about kitchen safety ,Turn the pot handles to the side. A child's head is about that high or a toddler may grab. An F for the semester if you forgot in her class. ,55 years later it is still a habit to turn the handle to the side.

[@tesswagner895]

Love my cast iron!!❤!! And don't let anyone but you handle it or cook in it! I once lost 10 years of seasoning scrubbed off because that dear person didn't know how to clean it.😂 Love you, Pam!!❤!! You always impart such good info😄

If that handle is turned out and you bump it any hot oil you have in it could splash out onto the hot burner and catch fire immediately! I have had a grease fire and it is not a joke. Luckily we got it out before it spread off the stove top. Great video Pam.

One more little tip about falling knives(I work in a restaurant and yes knives sometimes fall)…I have learned to always jump backwards a bit because they can get your feet too! It’s my natural reaction now!!!

[@eileenegger1466]

My Mom made the best fried chicken in her cast iron skillet. She always claimed her mom made it better (lol). When my son got married to a non-cooker,she shortly threw away his cast iron skillet because she didn’t know how to clean,season & use it. I’m surprised he didn’t go ballistic. Love your show!

[@DonnaKohl458]

I've always used my cast iron on my glass top stove. It's not an induction stove, but it looks exactly the same. I've never had a problem, but I don't drag it around. I'm careful not to scratch it. Also my mother reached for the handle of a pot of boiling water when she was 4 years old. She got 3erd degree burns on her whole side of her thigh. It left a horrific huge scar for life. It could have killed her. So she taught us about turning the handle away when we were very young.

I recently had to purchase a new stove. My old electric Jenn aire had the heating coils. I loved it. I wanted a coil electric but they were crazy expensive. I had to settle for a flat cook top.. I HATE IT!! It got scarred the first day. Even 10:07 purchased the cook top cleaner which cleans it up a bit but not to new looking. I know better next time. As for cast iron, 95 percent of my cooking is done with them. All different shapes and sizes. What’s awesome, when push comes to shove, and on an emergency, you can use them on the fire pit!

I cooked for decades on my glass top hob. And it was second hand. It was the age that killed if each element one by one. But it was made in the days when things were made to last

I dropped a knife that almost went straight down into my foot. Since then, when I drop a knife, I immediately step back and let the thing land where it lands. It can stick in the floor but it is not sticking in my foot. I have often wondered if I could use my cast iron on my glass top. Thought as long as I didn't drag it, it would be fine. You have helped me have confidence to use my skillet. Thanks so much.

[@valsblackcatsrule8740]

I love my cast iron and, I loved your tips! My mom had a glass top stove that could handle cast. However, her first glass top had instructions saying not to use pans that were not completely flat. Many vintage cast pans have a heat ring so the pan won't be fully flat on the bottom. She couldn't use those pans on the old stove. Love the safety tip about knives! Good luck with the award! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!

[@zulmabontiffe487]

Hi Pam, I have both stainless steel pots and pan but also cast iron. Cast IRON IS VERY HEAVY and ALL your points are ACCURATE. I have a gas range and WOULDN'T WANT AN ELECTRIC RANGE FOR MANY REASONS ! IN a power outage you won't be able to do anything as far as cooking. With a gas stove you just have to use a match to get the burners on. Yes there is a big difference but at least I can cook as I normally would and if necessary cook whatever I might lose that's in my fridge and freezers so that the contents are not lost due to no power. In times of disaster you might be the only one with any form of power and you will be able to feed your neighbors who have no means of cooking. I Must have a gas stove. If the day comes( and it will) when we are without power then we must each be prepared for how we are going g to make it. I don't like the placements of the knobs for one thing on electric stoves and I have seen how ugly the glass top gets after many uses. YOU don't have that issue with a gas stove. I have the covers that you get even at Walmart to keep the area around the eyes clean and protected. My unit us black and stainless steel and you gotta keep it clean after every use especially if you spilled anything. The knobs on an electric stove is far at the back for shorter stature people making it difficult to reach if you have to make adjustments while your cooking. You would have to reach the knobs over anything your cooking and that in itself I think is not safe. Having an alternative means of cooking is a MUST HAVE. A counter top propane operated stove like what you would use camping out is something EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE at least one. I purchased several JUST IN CASE WITH EXTRA PROPANE CONTAINERS. The knives falling is another great point as well. Anytime my knife decided to come off the counter I jumped back instantly and a few times it landed point on the floor😢😢. It could have been my foot. If gas or electricity is lost at least I can still cook and make believe im in in the out doors somewhere camping, which would be my back yard. But to each his own like they say... I just think it's wise to be prepared... you never know !!!

[@MarisaAndChew]

We have an older home with linoleum in the kitchen. In front of the counter there are hundreds of tiny slits from knives falling over the last 25 years and ppls feet not getting caught! They may be unsightly but they're a blessing BC we've never had a knife injury. The edges of our counter are rounded, not squared off, so too close and things fly. My dad is the number one dropper of things. I joke that he got some bad karma with gravity at some point! 🤣
