There are so many warnings about cooking fires, and with good reason. Cooking fires rank high, if not first, on many experts'lists of causes of house fires and fire deaths. Unattended cooking being stated as the number one cause of cooking fires.

It is also important to note that cooking should be done slowly and attentively. Preparing meals is something that becomes so routine that it is easy to forget how dangerous it can actually be. It is best to limit distractions, especially when cooking with open flames, even though electric burners and ovens can ignite almost just as quickly. An open flame is very obvious when it is on or off, but electric burners can stay very hot long after they've been turned off. It is important to never try and cook under the influence of any alcohol or medications that may affect decision making skills.
