Kitchens are the perfect place for disasters to occur. They are filled with equipment and appliances that are always on the go, and there are tons of things that you could do wrong, which can cause issues to happen! Sometimes, it’s the kids running around, and other times the disaster occurs when you mistime a meal. Either way, your kitchen needs to be run efficiently, and that means avoiding making any mistakes if possible.

The good news? There are a lot of things that you can do to make sure that your kitchen stays running without any disasters occurring, and preparation is vital! The better prepared you are for things going wrong, the more you can avoid it. So, let’s check out three ways you can prevent disaster in your kitchen!

Your kitchen has a lot of tools and appliances, and if you keep the appliances well maintained, you can ensure that you prevent some of the more serious disasters. If you keep your washer and dryer in the kitchen, these need to stay maintained, too. Lint build-up in the dryer can cause a fire, and you’ll also need to ensure that you have the Maytag dryer parts handy just in case of a breakdown! The more you maintain your big appliances, the longer they will last for you, and this is what you need. Appliances in good working order will not fizzle out on you and will not be a fire risk! It’s well worth the time and effort to keep your kitchen working correctly.

Fires, floods, explosions - oh my! Well, maybe not explosions, but the electrics and plumbing all in one place is a disaster waiting to happen if you don’t keep your kitchen safe. You should always keep an eye on the fire alarms and smoke detectors, and you should keep them in the kitchen, too. Yes, it’s annoying when the toaster sends the smoke alarm crazy, but this just means it’s time to learn how to cook your bread properly! Check everything over before you go to bed every night, and if any plugs and outlets are more than a decade old, you need to get out a qualified electrician to replace them. You deserve a kitchen that stays comfortable, safe, and functional, and you can only have that if you stay on top of the safety side of things.

Whether it’s timing visits from the repairman for the dryer, or you need to take a cooking class to learn to time your meals correctly, you will find that timing is everything in your kitchen. The more you watch the time, the better off you will be, and you will find that a simple egg timer will work for cooking, well, everything! Use the right tools for the right timing, and you will be able to cook properly without risking burning down the house. 

Avoid kitchen disasters, and your home and contents insurer will love you!
