a towel or blanket to put the fire out? that sounds like it would just be more fuel for the fire

 

I actually thought damp towels were better to do too, but google's saying not even to do that

Do’s and don’ts of putting out a small grease fire

Turn off the burner as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to put on oven mitts when dealing with a grease fire to help protect your hands.

Pro-tip: Only use a metal lid since a glass lid may shatter.

• Slide a metal lid or cookie sheet over the fire. A tight-fitting lid will remove the oxygen the flame needs to survive. Leave the lid or cookie sheet on the fire until the metal is cool and the fire is out.'
• Smother the grease fire with another pan that nestles inside the pan on the stovetop. Like the lid method, this removes the oxygen and keeps the fire from spreading.
• Pour baking soda or salt onto the fire. This method works best for a small fire, since you’ll need enough salt or baking soda to cover the fire completely.
• You can always spray the fire with a Class B or Class K fire extinguisher, though this should be a last resort since it will contaminate your kitchen.

If the fire is large or you can’t contain it, you should immediately leave the residence and call the fire department.

 

Don’ts of putting out a grease fire:

• Don’t ‌extinguish a grease fire with water or a wet towel.
• Don’t use flour, baking powder or sugar to ‌smother the fire.
• Don’t ‌remove the pan from the burner or place it in the sink. The oil may splash around and potentially burn you.
• Don’t move the pan into the sink, even if the fire is smothered.
• Don’t remove the lid from the pan.  Removing it may cause the fire to re-ignite.

If the fire is too big and you can’t put it out, leave your home and call 911. Keep the door closed as you exit to help contain the fire.

 

I guess check what Class or type your fire extinguisher is, though I hadn't heard about them contaminating before

There are several classes of fire extinguishers, each designed to put out different types of fires: 

Class A: Used for ordinary combustible fires, such as paper, cloth, wood, cardboard, and plastic. Water extinguishers are the most common and effective type for Class A fires. 

Class B: Used for flammable liquid fires, such as oil, gas, petroleum, lacquer, paint thinners, and gasoline. 

Class C: Used for electrical fires. 

Class D: Used for combustible metal fires, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium, and sodium. 

Class K: Used for cooking fires caused by flammable oil and grease. Class K extinguishers use wet chemical agents to starve the fire of fuel. 

ABC fire extinguishers: Can be used on Class A, B, and C fires. 

Carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers: Can be used on Class B and Class C fires. CO2 is electrically non-conductive, clean, odorless, and non-contaminating

Yes, some types of fire extinguishers can contaminate a kitchen, while others are safer to use: 

 

Dry chemical, metal, and sand extinguishers

These types of extinguishers leave a harmful chemical residue that can contaminate food and cookware. It's best to keep these away from cooking areas and throw away any food that has been sprayed by them. 

 

Wet chemical extinguishers

These extinguishers use agents that are less likely to contaminate surfaces, appliances, or stock. 

 

Water, carbon dioxide, and water mist extinguishers

These types of extinguishers don't leave behind harmful residue, and it's generally safe to use products that have been in contact with them. 

 

Element fire extinguishers

These extinguishers use a non-toxic vapor that dissipates into the air, so they won't contaminate your kitchen. 

 

After using a fire extinguisher, you should clean up the residue as soon as possible. The recommended cleaning methods depend on the type of extinguisher used.

One random article on cleaning up after some types of fire extinguishers: https://www.rescusaveslives.com/blog/cleaning-up-after-using-a-fire-extinguisher-a-step-by-step-guide/

 

Unfortunately it seems the type that you're most likely to be using is also going to contaminate a kitchen, so maybe it's worth knowing where a jar of salt or baking soda is for quick access...

(Just don't forget the super basics of turning off the heat and, if applicable, covering the cookware fire with another metal pan)

Apparently a big difference in Class B vs Class K fire extinguishers (aside from that B smothers with foam while K causes a chemical reaction with oil to stop it from burning) is that it's extremely hard to clean up after Class B extinguishers, while it's very easy to clean up after Class K ones

 

Could be worth getting a Class K extinguisher just for kitchen use if you think you're susceptible to that type of fire

I knew about the baking soda thing but I don't have baking soda and I also wasn't thinking about it at the time. I wasn't thinking about anything at the time, I was just looking at the fire in my hands in awe as my brain flat lined and I waited lol

 

My fire extinguisher says it is water based and meant for type a, b, c, and k fires, so everything except combustible metal fires I guess

 

2 tulpa.info members thought you should throw a towel on a grease fire. interesting concept. what a scandal

 

A lid makes sense too but yeah I think I only have a glass one, at least nearby

 

Ik you aren't supposed to use water to put out a grease fire either, but due to being usable for b a k class fires it seems a water based fire exstinguisher is okay for grease fires I guess

we were misinformed. our bad

[TB]

A secret terrorist organization trying to burn down as many homes as possible but without actually doing anything, so they spread the idea that towels put out fires

A wet towel, not a dry one

And I'm still 100% sure it would work..... if you could somehow do it slowly without burning your arms, which you really probably can't

I imagine it's the same problem of simply wooshing the fire all around it when "thrown on", and I didn't consider until now that with a big enough pan fire, you might not be able to do it gently without getting burned

 

Water doesn't magically cause grease to combust, the problem is it knocks it around instead of dousing it as you'd expect
