NY Chef offers timely Tips for Kitchen Safety

New York, NY (April, 2003) - Executive Chef Manuel Trevino of New York's Naples 45 Restaurant became a national statistic recently when he burned his arm on a flat grill. At the time, he didn't know that one person gets burned or scalded every 25 seconds in the United States. He just wanted the pain to stop.

According to Chef Trevino, people burn themselves because they can't "see" the heat. "Never grab a hot pan--always do the finger tap test. Tap your index finger on the corner of a pan first, don't just grab it," he said. "And never use a wet rag to pick up anything that is hot. If the rag you are using is wet, it turns moisture to steam instantly, which can cause a scald. Use dry rags only. Steam sneaks up on you, it is dense and can be hotter than boiling water," he continued. For the rest of the story and more tips and solutions
