Detailed explanation-1: -Pour on Baking Soda-Baking soda will extinguish grease fires, but only if they’re small. It takes a lot of baking soda to do the job. Spray the Pot with a Class B Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher-This is your last resort, as fire extinguishers will contaminate your kitchen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Douse the Flames Instead, you can reach for two pantry staples to help douse a small grease fire safely: Baking soda is effective because it releases carbon dioxide when heated, which can smother the fire. Salt forms a barrier between the fire and the air. This prevents the fire from getting the oxygen it needs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Baking Soda – it releases carbon dioxide, which takes away the oxygen the flames need.
Detailed explanation-4: -Don’t tackle the fire yourself and don’t try to move the pan. Never throw water over a fire as it could create a fireball. Turn off the heat – but only if it’s safe to do so. Leave the room, close the door, shout a warning to others, and call 999.
