Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -With an F rating, the wet chemical fire extinguisher is extremely effective at tackling large chip pan fires and ideal for industrial cooking environments.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
