What it is, and who it helps
Forgetting a kettle on the stove is a common cause of home fires and burns, particularly for people with memory difficulties. An auto-off kettle switches itself off when it boils, and a stove guard cuts the gas or power if a pan is left unattended.
These simple devices reduce risk and let a person stay independent in the kitchen for longer.
How to choose
- Choose an electric kettle with automatic shut-off, boil-dry protection and a cool-touch body.
- For gas, ask about a gas safety valve or a stove guard that fits your cooker.
- Look for a lightweight design with a handle that is easy to grip.
- Consider an induction hob with an automatic timer.
Using it safely
- Check the shut-off works, and replace old kettles.
- Keep the kitchen free of clutter and fit a smoke alarm and, if gas, a gas detector.
- Keep a fire blanket and teach your parent not to use water on an oil fire.
