Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Don’t extinguish a grease fire with water or a wet towel. Don’t use flour, baking powder or sugar to smother the fire. Don’t remove the pan from the burner or place it in the sink. The oil may splash around and potentially burn you.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cover the flames with a metal lid or cookie sheet. Leave the cover on until it has cooled. Turn off the heat source. If it’s small and manageable, pour baking soda or salt on it to smother the fire. As a last resort, spray the fire with a Class B dry chemical fire extinguisher. 21-Mar-2017
