Don’t water a grease fire, don’t try to replace with a garage spring. What are some OTHER potentially life-saving tips? (reddthat.com)

If you need to put out a small kitchen fire in an emergency and have no other way to do it rip the top off a box of baking soda and use the contents to smother the fire. As the baking soda heats it releases CO2 starving the fire of oxygen, the remaining salt also prevents oxygen from reaching the burning material.

Even better, always have a fire extinguisher handy in the kitchen - don't bury it under the sink or in a closet.

Does no one have lids for their cookware? Just cover it. A cutting board or cookie sheet works good too.
