The Persistent Threat of Cooking Fires in Multi-Family Housing

In today's fast-paced world, property owners, managers, and support staff living in multi-family facilities are busier than ever. This heightened sense of urgency, which intensified during the COVID-19 lockdowns, has led to a backlog of urgent and delayed projects. However, amidst this flurry of activity, one critical issue remains constant. That is the threat of kitchen cooking fires.



Limitations of Traditional Fire Safety Approaches

For years, fire professionals and safety product manufacturers have promoted various tools for fighting or escaping kitchen fires:

  • Fire extinguishers

  • Hood suppressants

  • Pan lids

  • Fire blankets


While these tools can be useful, they all share one crucial drawback. They're designed for use after a fire has already

started. This approach puts residents in the dangerous position of fighting fires – a task best left to trained professionals.


The Case for Prevention Over Mitigation

Mitigation is inherently risky, whether it involves fighting a fire or escaping from one. Prevention, on the other hand, is both safer and more accessible. Since April 2019, all-electric stoves manufactured for sale in the USA have been equipped with Temperature Limit (UL858 60A) coil-element burners. These fire-preventive burners are particularly common in public and affordable housing.


The Cooking Performance Dilemma

While these Temperature-Limit burners enhance safety, they come with a significant drawback: poor cooking performance. Most residents find the cooking experience with these burners far from satisfactory, as the very technology that makes them safe also inhibits their effectiveness in the kitchen.


A Revolutionary Solution with GOLi CTL Burners

There is, however, an exception to this trade-off between safety and performance. GOLi Electric offers the GOLi CTL coil burners, which provide:

  • Cooking performance comparable to traditional burners – hot and consistent

  • Outright prevention of cooking fires

  • Energy savings

  • Longer lifespan compared to other coil or cast-iron burners


Forward-thinking facility managers understand that preventing a fire is exponentially more cost-effective than managing its aftermath.


GOLi CTL burners represent the intelligent choice for those who prioritize:

  • Comprehensive safety protocols

  • Cutting-edge technological solutions

  • Measurable risk reduction

  • Resident protection


Don't just manage risk. Eliminate it.

Let's shift our focus from fighting fires to preventing them altogether. It's time for a new approach to kitchen fire safety. By choosing GOLi CTL burners, multi-family housing facilities can ensure the safety of their residents with a satisfactory cooking experience.
