Detailed explanation-1: -What should you do if you see flames in an electric skillet or pan on the cooktop? First, turn off the burner. Next, attempt to put out the flame by covering the pan with a lid or another pan. Conversely, you can sprinkle salt or baking soda on the flame to extinguish it.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a hot pan is on fire, there is one proper way to put it out safely. Cover it, preferably with the lid. If you don’t have a lid, you can use a damp dishtowel, both of which stop oxygen from feeding the fire. Turn off the heat source, and let it cool down where it is.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
