How To Handle A Cooking Oil Fire In The Kitchen

Have you ever had to deal with a cooking oil fire in the kitchen? I have. It's frightening and extremely dangerous.

A good friend emailed me a link to this video on how to quickly and effectively deal with a fire on the stove. Don't be put off by the title of the video - nobody dies.

Whatever you do, do NOT throw water on the fire. The water sinks to the bottom of the oil, becomes superheated and explodes out of the pot throwing burning oil up like a volcano.

Watch and learn.
