'Be careful making Christmas dinner - I burnt myself on boiling goose fat and needed skin grafts' A mum has issued a stark warning to festive chefs about the dangers of cooking Christmas dinner after she suffered severe burns from hot goose fat.
The accident occurred in September when she was preparing a roast dinner and hot oil splashed onto her skin, leading to severe injuries that required a skin graft on both feet and five weeks off work.
Reacting instinctively, Rebecca tried to push the tray back onto the cooker, but the scorching fat splashed onto her left hand and both feet.
She had placed goose fat in the oven to heat up for her roast potatoes and became distracted while talking to her daughter Katie.
Rebecca, a grandmother from Maidstone, Kent, suffered horrific burns after a kitchen mishap and is now warning others to don proper footwear while cooking.
