Overheated oil or fat in chip pans, deep fat fryers or grill pans are the main cause of kitchen fires. After a moment’s distraction you could find yourself with a serious fire.

Safe Cooking: 


  • Never fill a pan more than one third full of oil or fat.
  • Never leave the pan or grill unattended when the heat is switched on.
  • Never put food in a chip pan if the oil begins to smoke.
  • Turn off the heat and leave the oil to cool, otherwise it can catch fire.
  • Clean hobs regularly to prevent a build up of fat which can catch fire.
  • Drinking alcohol while cooking is a 'recipe for disaster'.

In case of fire... call 999
