National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day is a holiday that encourages people to realize that not everyone is a great cook. In fact, many of us are complete klutzes in the kitchen, and even doing something as simple as boiling an egg can be a complete disaster. It’s also a day that says it’s okay not to be the next great cook—after all, we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. However, if you are a kitchen klutz but can’t stay away from cooking, then you might want to keep a fire extinguisher handy when you celebrate this day on June 13th.

Common Kitchen Accidents To Avoid

There are literally hundreds of things that can go wrong in a modern kitchen—from fires to serious knife wounds, so it’s important for a person to keep their wits about them while they’re cooking. Unfortunately, that’s not always easy, and that’s why we’ve listed some of the common kitchen accidents below. We’ve listed the following common accidents so that people can be on the lookout for them and try to avoid them.

• Unstable Cutting Boards Lead to Knife Accidents

Observing National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day

Honestly, we’re not really sure how people are supposed to celebrate National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day. We’re unsure if kitchen klutzes are encouraged to stay out of the kitchen on this day or if they’re encouraged to try their hand at cooking. We suggest that people spend the day watching cooking shows or giving their favorite kitchen klutz a guide to basic cooking. While you’re doing that, be sure to use the hashtag #NationalKitchenKlutzesOfAmericaDay on your social media accounts.
