Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Pat veal chops dry, then rub with oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer in baking dish. Set aside at room temperature for 2 hours. Heat oil in heavy (or non-stick) large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until wilted. Stir in chopped tomatoes, garlic, sugar, basil, and oregano. Increase heat to medium-high; cook until juice evaporate, about 5 minutes. Blend in reserved tomato juice with anchovy fillets. Partially cover and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in capers and cook for 5 minutes longer. Grease broiler pan and position about 3 inches from heat; preheat pan and broiler. Transfer chops to heated pan; cook, turning several times, until charred and crusty on outside and juicy inside, about 10 minutes total. Brush chops during last several minutes with any marinade remaining in dish. Transfer chops to individual plates (warmed). Nap evenly with sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Garnish with lemon wedges.
