I was just cooking, and then I was gone in an instant! Be aware of these 7 deadly behaviors in the kitchen!

There are several tragic cases that happened in the kitchen, each one is shocking, but many people don’t know about it.

1 Pour flour next to the gas stove!

In a resident's home in Xiamen, a couple was cooking in the kitchen. They poured new flour next to them to prepare to bake dessert in the oven when a flash explosion occurred. Both of them suffered burns of more than 50%, which were considered extremely severe burns. The windows of their home and the burglar-proof nets flew down from the upper floor.

The Crisis Investigation column did a similar experiment with flour:

While turning on the fire, pouring flour, the flames instantly jumped up

What about in a closed space? Pour flour into a sealed box and blow it up with a blower, and the box will explode instantly.

Flour is made of very fine dust particles. When poured, it diffuses into the air. When it reaches a certain concentration, it will cause an explosion if it encounters even the slightest open flame.

Some time ago, we specially made such a tweet to remind everyone, take a good look~

Remember: Do not pour flour over an open flame in the kitchen.

2 Put frozen food directly into the frying pan!

Ms. Kuang, a citizen of Suzhou, was in a hurry to fry dumplings, so she put the frozen dumplings into the pot without thawing them. As a result, oil splashed out and her hands were splattered red, causing a large area of ​​burns that didn't heal for several days.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission conducted a simulation experiment in which a frozen turkey was placed in a hot oil pan. The moment the turkey was placed in the oil pan, the oil pan caught fire and the fire spread to the simulated house next to it↓↓

If you put unthawed frozen food directly into a hot oil pan, the ice on the outer layer of the food will quickly turn into steam, causing the oil pan to boil immediately. Not only will the food in the pan explode and injure people, but the boiling oil will overflow and fall on the flame of the gas stove, which will also catch fire!

Remember: Frozen food must be thawed before cooking.

3Heat eggs in the microwave!

Mr. Zhu from Wuhan, Hubei, filled a plastic bowl with water, put an egg in the bowl, and heated it in a microwave. Two minutes later, when he opened the microwave, the egg exploded, and the blast flew everywhere. Because Mr. Zhu was facing the microwave, his eyes were severely injured. After examination by a doctor, both eyelids and eyeballs were ruptured, and he was blind.

Why can't you put raw eggs in the microwave to heat them? Because when we usually boil eggs, the heat is transferred from the outside to the inside, but boiling eggs in the microwave is just the opposite. The inside of the egg expands when heated, but the eggshell blocks the expansion of the gas, which will cause an explosion.

Keep in mind: All sealed foods with hard shells or skins must be opened before they can be processed in the microwave. Experts suggest that it is best not to heat eggs in the microwave. If you must use it, peel them first and put them in a container to break them up, like making egg custard.

4. Spray insecticide when cooking!

A housewife was cooking in the kitchen when she found several cockroaches under the gas stove. She grabbed a bottle of insecticide and sprayed it on the burning gas stove, which caused an explosion. The kitchen was quickly engulfed in fire, and the housewife suffered burns on 85% of her body.

All insecticide sprays have highly volatile and flammable solvents. The nano-scale spray particles spread extremely quickly, and only a spark can ignite the explosive mixture in the oxygen-containing air, which can easily explode when exposed to open flames, sparks or high temperatures.

Remember: Never spray insecticide while a fire is open.

5No one is watching while the soup is cooking in the kitchen!

A lady in Hubei was cooking soup on a low fire while she was out doing some work. After a few hours, the soup dried up, the pot was burned through, the range hood and gas stove were burned, and the glass was shattered all over the floor. Fortunately, a sanitation worker who passed by saw it and collectively put out the fire, preventing it from spreading.

Remember: When you leave the kitchen, make sure the fire is out and never leave the gas stove on when no one is at home.

6. Use a pressure cooker to cook porridge and other sticky foods

A woman in Shandong was using a pressure cooker to cook porridge when the exhaust valve was blocked by rice grains. The pressure cooker exploded while she was manually venting the air, causing burns on her face and chest. The burns covered a large area and she was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Remember: It is best not to use a pressure cooker to cook beans, porridge, kelp soup and other foods that can easily clog the center hole and the vent hole of the safety valve; do not use the pressure cooker beyond its expiration date, the sealing rubber ring should not be used for more than two years, and it should be replaced regularly. If any leakage is found on the edge, stop using it immediately and have it repaired.

7. I don't know about the kitchen gas leak

An old man in Lishui, Zhejiang was tidying up things in the kitchen without lighting a fire. Suddenly, with a bang, his down jacket exploded, and several big holes were blown on the back of the clothes!

Firefighters explained that the explosion was caused by the gas leak reaching a certain concentration, which caused the down jacket to generate static electricity. In winter, the weather is relatively dry, and many clothes will generate static electricity. If there is a gas leak, it is easy to explode.

Remember: turn off the gas immediately after use. The special rubber hose connecting the stove should also be replaced promptly.

There are so many safety hazards in a small kitchen.

Each of these cases is a bloody lesson.

I hope everyone can take this as a warning.

For the safety and health of your family,

You must not be careless!
