Playing host to powerful appliances such as sink waste disposal units and cooker ovens, kitchens are one of the key areas of the home where safety concerns must be taken into account, experts claim.Some simple tips were issued by the Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association (KBSA), which urged people not to forget the basics.When cooking, people were advised to turn saucepan handles away from the hob in order to avoid the risk of handles being melted by proximity to hot flames. And child safety is often another major concern in busy family kitchens, with the site recommending that all cutting objects be stored away in one place inaccessible to children. But one of the principal dangers in the kitchen comes not from implements but from hygiene failings, with the KBSA also warning people against the risks of allowing crumbs and spillages to fill up the cracks between appliances and create a health hazard.Well-sealed joins between countertops, sinks, ovens and other materials were recommended, with undermount sink models such as the Franke Ariane ARX110 17 providing a thoroughly seamless link between sink and work surface.
