Following Braai Day this week, we thought it very apt to take you through a few braai safety tips to help you keep you and your guests safe.
- As you are working with an open flame, make sure you have some sort of fire extinguisher plan, a bucket of sand, or a fire extinguisher on hand.
- Make sure the open flame is away from thatch or any other structure or item that may catch alight if the fire/braai where to change direction or fall over, or if a breeze were to pick up.
- Keep your braai and grill clean. Fat from cooking may fuel an already large flame.
- Smoke- this can be toxic, so make sure you are not breathing it in in large amounts. Especially be careful with children, their bodies are smaller and will deal with smoke differently to adults.
- Never leave a fire unattended, especially if there are young children and animals around.
- Oven gloves should be used when handling grills.
- Braai tools are essential, their longer reach allows you to safely work with the food without getting burnt- don’t try to use normal eating utensils to move food around on the grill.
