Answer #1

You just need to be mindful of what you’re doing…pay attention.

Start off by baking - the oven is less likely to start a fire than the stovetop.

Answer #2

Start with wet-cooking methods like braising, simmering, or poaching. If the materials are covered in liquid, they can’t catch on fire, right? And braising is one of the most overlooked, under-appreciated cooking methods there is, but can produce some of the most amazing flavors out there. Best part, once the materials are in the oven to braise, you don’t have to do a thing but you still come out looking like a hero.
