You Walk Away from Your Stove

Excluding crockpots, long simmered soups, and sometimes rice, you should always stand in front of your stove if it is on. A pot of water can quickly overboil while you're gone. This will get boiling water on the floor, possibly hurting you and anything/anyone else in your kitchen. That, and things can overcook in a heartbeat if you're not 100% attentive. Please stay focused for the duration that you're cooking.
