Detailed explanation-1: -Cover the Pot with a Metal Lid-Fire cannot exist in the absence of oxygen. With the lid on (and the heat off), the fire should quickly consume all the oxygen and put itself out. Use a metal lid since glass will shatter. Pour on Baking Soda-Baking soda will extinguish grease fires, but only if they’re small.
Detailed explanation-2: -Common Kitchen Ingredients If these attempts are unsuccessful you can use the following kitchen ingredients to put out the flames. Baking Soda – it releases carbon dioxide, which takes away the oxygen the flames need.
Detailed explanation-3: -Smother a grease fire – never throw water on a grease fire. Oil also can splash and spread the fire. If a grease fire starts in a pan, smother the flames by sliding the lid – while wearing an oven mitt – over the pan. If safe to do so, turn off the heat source.
