Hazards of a greasy kitchen

MANILA, Philippines - The aftermath of a party of steak, burger, and buffalo wings, of whipping up sauces and dressings, and of hours of baking is grease. Grease is the by-product of cooking items like meats, butter, cooking oil, and dairy products, all of which are used in the kitchen practically on a daily basis.

Even on a normal day of cooking, you release natural pollutants like grease into your surroundings. If the kitchen or house is without proper cleanup and ventilation, the pollutants will hang around and become adhered to household surfaces and appliances. The build-up of splatters, dust, crumbs, stray hair, and other debris on slimy surfaces over time will result in a grease extravaganza that is a disaster waiting to happen.

In a busy kitchen, one can easily slip on messy floors, causing minor injuries and major emergencies (imagine the horror of handling a pan with boiling oil and suddenly tripping up close to a kid). Grease has also been the culprit in some cases when household fire is involved because ducts and vents can become grease trappers and combustible. In terms of kitchen efficiency, ovens that are not cleaned well will not circulate heat evenly. And of course, a literally dirty kitchen, even when the dirt is not readily visible, is never good for the health and well-being of your family.
