I've heard that one of the best ways to put out a grease fire in a pan is to put a lid on it. This smothers it quickly. Even though an ABC fire extinguisher is rated for these, you can still spread flaming grease around (not fun!)

Yes, the fastest way to put out any fire is to deprive it of oxygen! That's why, if your clothes catch fire, you stop, drop and roll!
Why didn't he clean the drip pans?
He didn't make the mess in the first place. :eek: Besides that, who checks the drip pans every time you turn on a burner anyway? I know I never did. And it taught wifey a good lesson in the end. :)Quote:

You can put it into a 'cheese shaker' - the kind you see in a pizza joint - to keep it handy.
If you live in a humid area, put a cracker or an shelled almond into the shaker to keep the soda from clumping.
(Phred would have loved this thread....)
He sure would have - and he would have given lots of good advice. He once sent me a looong e-mail with good advice about a fire extinquiser? I have.Quote:

My mom has a ceramic top. My condo has a gas cooktop. I had never cooked on gas, so I've had a few mishaps with the bottom of the pan. I hate doing the drip pan job, so I'm going back to a flat top next. When I first moved, Phred and I exchanged PMs on the right type of fire extinguisher. It's stored right next to the broom in the kitchen closet and I think of him every time I see it.Quote:
