Your kitchen’s heat zone is more dangerous than it looks! From cooking oils to décor items — these everyday things can cause fire hazards or toxic fumes. Keep your cooking area clutter-free and heat-safe.
Avoid keeping oil bottles, ghee jars, or butter tins near the burner. Heat or splashes can ignite oil instantly. Store oils in a cool, dry cabinet instead.
Plastic jars or boxes melt quickly and release dangerous toxins. Keep them away from the stove and use glass or steel containers for hot zones.
Paper towels, tissue rolls, and cleaning sprays are highly flammable. Never keep them near an open flame — one spark can cause disaster.
Wooden spoons, spatulas, and chopping boards absorb heat and can burn or crack. Always keep them 2–3 feet away from the cooking surface.
Showpieces, candles, and photo frames may look nice — but they don’t belong near heat. Grease, soot, and high temperature can damage or ignite them easily.
