Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If you’re cooking and a pot catches fire, the first step is to remove the heat source. Turn off the burner, oven, or broiler. If your grease fire is in the oven, leave the door closed. This deprives the fire of oxygen, which can help put it out.
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.
