Long and open clothing can ignite from a naked fire source, such as a gas flame or hot burner.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep children away from all appliances in the kitchen while cooking. Experts recommend that kids should be at least 3 feet away from hot appliances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be sure that the electric cords from cooking appliances are not dangling off the countertops or within reach of children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure that <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/fire-alarm-keeps-going-off\/\">smoke alarms<\/a> are working in advance of Thanksgiving day.

Cross-contaminating vegetables with bacteria from uncooked bird meat is a one-way ticket to salmonella poisoning!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you defrost the meat properly. Thaw inside the refrigerator, and keep in mind that every 5 lbs. of turkey will require a day or two to thaw completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wrap the meat in leak-proof packaging material and submerge it in cold water. You must change the water every half an hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cook the meat immediately after thawing and avoid slow or partial cooking. You may want to cook the stuffing separately.
