Nothing says summer like cooking out on the grill in the backyard when family and friends gather together to enjoy good food and good company. Common sense goes a long way when it comes to grill safety. Always explain to your children that a grill is off limits. When grilling with children, never leave a hot grill unattended, not even for 10 seconds! A child can get burned in an instant. Just like pots in your home, never leave pots on a grill or side burner with the handle sticking out. A small child could pull the hot pan and its contents on top of them. Be sure your grill is in good working order. Remember, grills stay hot for a long time after you have finished cooking. Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for checking gas connections and safety items. Always be alert of children in or around your yard when grilling and you should have a great safe grilling summer.
