 The kitchen is usually a wonderful place, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, it's easy to make mistakes that could turn it into a hazardous environment. Hot surfaces may burn you, sharp objects can cut you, and if you don’t pay attention, your food will burn to a crisp, and may even start a fire. This is why I’ve gathered this advice from expert chefs and home cooks, who've learned from their mistakes.

1. Never try to catch a falling knife. Instead, take a step back to make sure it doesn’t fall on your foot.
2. Never add flour or starch to hot liquids. It’ll end up forming clumps that are very difficult to clean. Instead, mix them in with cold or lukewarm liquids before adding them to heat.
3. Never use wet oven mitts. Wet fabric conducts heat much better than dry fabric. The same goes for towels.
4. Never put a hot glass dish or container on a wet surface. Doing this can cause the glass to shatter due to the temperature difference.
5. Never use a knife to scrape food off a cutting board. It’ll dull the knife’s edge and ruin it.
 6. Baking powder and baking soda are not interchangeable. They’re not the same thing, so trying to substitute one for the other can ruin a whole dish.
7. Wash your hands after preparing hot peppers. Your eyes will thank you for doing so.
8. Don’t try beating egg whites when there’s no yolk. This simply doesn’t work, so save yourself the frustration.
9. Never stir rice while making it, unless you’re making risotto. Good rice needs to remain unstirred.
10. Never put good, sharp knives in the dishwasher. The high temperatures damage the metal and blunt the edge. A good knife should be hand washed only.
