Kitchen Safety, Fire Safety.

1. It takes only seconds for the fire to start/your stove to burst up into flames.

   • You do not move a pan that is on fire.
     • You the the risk of dropping it; it will spread the flames.
       • You give the fire more air; meaning it will come back at you and it will get worse.
   • ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use water to put the fire out.
     • The water will cause it to basically explode.

2. You want to take the lid , slide it on from the edge of the pot/pan to the entire top, and turn the heat down.

   • This will cause the fire to lose oxygen, which is fuel to fire, and it will go out (easier).
   • Don't lift the lid until the pot/pan is cooled down.
     • You could use a cookie sheet or a pizza pan to cover the pot/pan that's on fire.
