I've caused a grease fire by trying to deep fry in a saucepan. I had done it several times before with good results, but one time the whole thing immediately boiled over. I knew to smother it, but I didn't know how effective baking soda was. Good tip! (PS: If you're going to deep fry, do it with the proper equipment in a basket.)

[@huskeeloins]

This is a legitimate question: What would happen if one was to throw a flaming grease pan in a pool

[@Mark-kw5tg]

Add one teaspoon of baking soda

[@maxpower2511]

Usually when I get a grease fire I yell at it and punch it...then it goes out

[@PersonausdemAll]

Won't baking soda, which is a kind of powder, cause a dust explosion?

[@xxgn]

Baking powder will cause a dust explosion. However, baking soda is not flammable, so it won't do so. The reason we use baking soda when cooking is because it releases carbon dioxide, causing the food to rise (i.e., leaven). This also makes it quite effective at putting out small fires, since the carbon dioxide displaces the oxygen.

Fire extinquisers are made up of soda😁😁😁😁

[@Fredengle]

well fire extinguishers particualry for kitchen use usuaully contain a variation of baking soda is probably baking soda and some other things but I still would not encourage you to eat it!!!

[@johnmoore2639]

How about turning off the fuel source once you’ve smothered it? You’ve done half the job in this video

[@uberdriver80085]

Your place is in the kitchen and not outside
