Tips for safe food preparation during power outages

According to ТСН: Rescuers have prepared an informational memo with recommendations on how to safely cook food during power outages to avoid the risk of fires, poisoning, and other dangerous situations.

According to a message from the State Emergency Service via Telegram, specialists recommend preparing a stock of long-term food supplies that do not require cooking in advance. These can include canned goods, cereals, nuts, cheeses, fish, vegetables, fruits, and bread. To cook food without electricity, it is recommended to use thermoses in which products can be steeped with boiling water.

Rules for using gas and camping burners

The memo provides tips on the safe use of gas and camping burners. They are allowed to be used only for short-term heating of food, and it is necessary to use small diameter metal cookware. After use, the cylinders should be disconnected and stored in the shade, regularly checking them for tightness.

It is also noted that grills and barbecues can only be used outdoors, without flammable liquids. After cooking, the coals should be completely extinguished.

Precautions when cooking food

The Emergency Service emphasizes that when cooking food over an open flame, the fire should not be left unattended. Children and pets should be kept at a safe distance. Water or a fire extinguisher should always be nearby.

It is important to follow these recommendations and spread them among loved ones, as even without electricity, it is possible to eat safely and adequately.

Safety measures during food preparation in conditions of power outages will not only help avoid troubles but also ensure the comfort and health of your family. It is very important to be prepared for possible difficulties and to know how to act in non-standard situations.
