Husband is a firefighter. He told me to put it in the oven and shut the door, versus trying to think in a panic.

Moving a burning pan of grease? In a panic? Thats a visit to the burn ward

For a fire you always need 3 things: heat, flammable stuff and oxygen. Take one of those away, and the fire dies out. Always remember that!

Also remember to NEVER put water on a grease fire. Water will just make it spread.

Someone explain the physics pls?

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Basically a fire is just a combination of oxygen, fuel, and heat. Putting the lid on it deprives the fire of oxygen which kills it.

I don’t own a pan thing like what he has, I do own baking soda and that works just as well

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

You could just use a lid or another pan or pot. Baking soda makes kind of a mess. Not sure why you got dv'ed though.

If there's a fire, who really cares about the mess caused by baking soda though?

Should use a lid to the pan on fire, but a cookie sheet would work.

I think most people have two pans, which have flat bottoms.And it doesn't have to be flat just big enough to completely cover the other pan.

Yeah, but If I'm using my big pan, which I usually cook in, I have no bigger pan, and no baking sheets either. And my lid is glass.

Oxygen is the oxidant. Whatever is burning is the fuel. In a cooking fire like this it could be grease, for example.

from watching this I assumed the slam down method smushes a bunch of air into the pan. He didn't seem to keep it fully shut that much longer

7 years ago | Likes 40 Dislikes 2

similarly, I thought the slow slide method also allows the remaining flames to burn up the air in the covered rest of the can which also

I think sliding it is safer for your hand. When you fan down on it, the flames blowout in ever direction, including towards the handle...idk

Usually safer to cover the pan, turn the stove off, but leave the pan in place until fire is out and the pan cools off.
