Detailed explanation-1: -Slide the lid over the fire (as opposed to coming down on top of the pan) to smother the fire. Turn off the heat.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Instead, you want to smother them, depriving the fire of oxygen and, hopefully, putting it out. The best ways to smother a fire are to either cover the flames with a lid or baking sheet (especially if the fire is contained to a pan), or dumping a box of baking soda on top.
Detailed explanation-4: -Class K fire extinguishers are more effective in extinguishing cooking fires. They use wet chemical agents with a greater firefighting and cooling effect for this type of hazard. The applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard is NFPA 10-Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers.
Detailed explanation-5: -Keep the door closed. This step will limit the supply of oxygen the fire has inside the oven. Turn the oven or microwave off. You need to remove the heat source from the oven. Let it burn out. Once the fire consumes the available oxygen inside the oven, it will extinguish itself. 18-Oct-2022
