Cooks: what did I DO?!

[smokey the elder]

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!
