If any of you actually have a grease fire in the kitchen put the lid on the pan. It will suffocate the flames. Don’t pour water on it, and don’t freak out. Cook safely!Or throw flour on it to smother it./quick safety announcementNO, DO NOT USE FLOUR, DO NOT USE FLOUR TO SMOTHER A FIRE. YOU HAVE TO USE BAKING SODA. Throwing flour into a fire can cause it to combust and make the fire worse because FLOUR/SUGAR IS FLAMMABLE. One cup of flour into a grease fire can have the explosive force of dynamite.The reason you use baking soda is that it releases carbon dioxide when heated, and CO2 is a fire suppressant.Reblogging for safety and baking soda.Salt also works well if you have enough of it and chances are you’ll have more salt on hand than baking powder. You can put the lid on, but make sure you turn the heat off too. Do not use a fire extinguisher unless you know it’s the right kind–a type B for flammable liquids like grease and oil. If you use the all purpose kind you will probably make it worse. just cover itJust remember you have to have something to cover it with that’s nonflammable and doesn’t let in oxygen, which may not work easily 100% of the time. Keep baking soda handy.When you take care of the fire, never cook again. You are banned from cooking.Fire extinguishers, mates.But yeah, remember the fire needs three things to exist:FuelOxygenSomething to start it.If there’s already a fire you’ve failed to eliminate that first thing, and cutting off fuel may be difficult. SMOTHER IT. WITH SOMETHING THAT WON’T JUST BE FUEL. -- source link
