Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If there is a grease fire in a pot or pan on the stove top, which of the following should NEVER be used to try and put out the fire?
A
a flat baking sheet
B
water
C
baking soda
D
a tight fitting lid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Never try to extinguish a grease fire with water. Throwing water on the fire can cause burning grease to splash, which can make the fire spread and potentially harm bystanders.

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: -You should never, under any circumstances, try to put out a grease fire with anything containing water–even a wet towel. This could cause the fire to splatter and spread. Instead, ‌try to smother the flames with a tightly fitting (metal) lid or cookie sheet.

Detailed explanation-4: -Do Not Leave a Frying Pan Unattended. Most frying pan fires occur within five minutes of turning on the heat source. Do Not Use an Extinguisher on a Frying Pan. Do Not Put the Fire Out the Wrong Way. Do Not Forget to Turn Off Heat Sources. Do Not Panic. 07-Aug-2017

Detailed explanation-5: -Never leave your pot or pan unattended. Pay attention around fire. Remove as much moisture as possible from food before cooking. Keep grease at the recommended temperature. Heat oil slowly. Add food slowly and gently to hot oil to avoid splatter. More items •09-Aug-2017
