up some general concerns I shared with my husband this weekend, when a pot of duck fat was boiling all over my stovetop. He's a guy who panics and would have thrown water on it. Yikes!
Read below before watching the video......>
> This is so important ... I never heard of doing the
wet towel thing...
> But I will remember it after seeing this.
> Kitchen Fire Safety - Good reminder for everyone.....
> This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short)
about how to deal With a common kitchen fire ... Oil in a frying pan. Please
read the following introduction and then watch the show ... It's a real
eye-opener!!
>
> At the Fire Fighting Training school they would
demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor
would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole
toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the
students.
> The water, being heavier than the oil, sinks to the
bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the
steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a
thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast.
> Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball Hits
the ceiling and fills the entire room.
> Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire.
One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.
> This is a powerful message----watch the video and
don't forget what you see. Tell your whole family about this video. Or
better yet, send this to them.
