These tips come from my experiences in the kitchen and are as follows below:

• When turning on the oven make sure no pans are in the oven or that thing beneath the oven.
• Make sure there is nothing on the stovetop that may catch fire like tubaware or an oven mitt.
• Make sure you have all the ingredients you need for the meal.
• Make sure the gas company or electric company didn't shut you off.
• Clean the stovetop regularly to avoid grease fire.
• Always keep an eye on what you are cooking, the dangers for fire in the kitchen are extremely high.

Remember following these simple cooking rules will allow you the peace of mind to cook, and the enjoyability of a delicious meal.
