Good reminder about kitchen fires

[sniper7]

we did know not to use water.... thankfully.. lol

good thing! If can be nasty.

if you are ever bored and want to try it, go outside and get some cooking oil popping then toss some water on it. then imagine flames coming off of that. I remember my mom when to the doctor the next day with 2nd degree burns where she was holding the pan and red marks on her arm when the boiling oil sprayed on her arm.

I won't laugh at you, I too have done the same damn thing.

Only it was junk mail. Tossed on an eye that had been left on (barely left on) all night.. probably took 30 mins till it was a ball of fire.

I had just moved in and had NO idea where my extinguisher was..

I still need a new stove..

I thought you only cooked on perfect operating temperature Ferrari engines?

My wife isn't allowed to burn dinner.

How do I know dinner is ready?
The smoke alarm goes off.

check your extinguishers Monthly

every 6 months at minimum

At the shop, our local VFD requires an annual check consisting of flipping the extinguisher over and tapping (mallet or palm) until the contents is mixed. Replace after ten years.

With the price of gas that costs too much to keep it running
