How to Safely Put Out a Kitchen Fire

Kitchen nightmares and disasters can occur any time if you are not careful. In one video, a man was trying to make apples flambe for his wife and poured hot brandy in a hot pan, which set his stove ablaze. Nutley, New Jersey Fire Captain David Hamilton says you should never transfer flaming alcohol from one pan to another. “When you go to pour that, the flame is still gonna want to come up,” he told Inside Edition. KZbin is loaded with frightening videos of cooking catastrophes. #InsideEdition

*worst

[@wadjo1]

For all the people wondering why water is causing this extreme fire reaction: First: Oil (nonpolar) and water (polar) don't mix. Second: the density of water > oil. This means if water is added to oil, it will sink downwards. Third: fire can expand due to an increase in temperature, increase of fuel, and/or increase of oxygen. Now if water is added to an oil fire it will first try to sink towards the bottom of the pan. But due to the extremely high heat of the oil, all water molecules will be vapourised instantly (steam) when trying to travel through the oil. When steam is generated it will increase the temperature of the oil even further which leads to an even intenser fire than before. Steam does not only increase the temperature, it also blasts all the oil away from the pan. Why? Because as I mentioned, water was first traveling down through the oil before it vaporized. When steam was "finally" generated, it lifted a number of the oil molecule out of the pan. That is why it so dangerous to add water to oil when it's on fire. I hope this helps. If I made a mistake somewhere. Don't hesitate to educate me further. Have a nice day.

[@deamerican49352]

@@laboruios9076 Nerd? Then your a clown.

[@stanflahaut1893]

The steam DOES NOT increase the temperature of the oil. That is thermodynamically impossible. Energy is absorbed in the phase change from liquid to vapor. the violent conversion from liquid to steam further atomizes the grease increasing the surface area and spreads the fire. Science. Get some.

[@cellogirl11rw55]

In short, oil is hydrophobic.

[@soheil5710]

No, it's way simpler: 1) Throw water on fire. 2) The water boils right away, spewing oil everywhere. 3) There is fire everywhere.

A comment on the baking soda: DO NOT use flour. Flour is extremely flammable and combustable, it may look similar, but you'd be making things a whole lot worse.

[@hagamapama]

The reason baking soda works is that as it gets hot it releases CO2. The same stuff they use in many fire extinguuishers. It works really well in a pan because CO2 is heavier than air and drives away all the oxygen.

I was only in culinary arts for about two weeks before I dropped the class in high school but one of the things it taught me was to either choke the fire, use a fire extinguisher, or use baking soda and to never use water

If choking doesn't work, u could try punching it too.

[@DivineXPotato]

i know this is 2 years old but just for the record salt works too

[@Inuweeb]

I studied culinary arts at tertiary level and during a pasta making contest I deliberately set on fire the alcohol vapors of the wine I was adding for some showmanship, and let it burn out instead of putting a lid on it (the alcohol burns off very quickly anyway). The judges weren't impressed and it knocked my gold medal down to silver for "uncontrolled pan fire". 😥 My fettuccine was pretty good - I laced it with prosciutto and cracked pepper though did a fairly basic white wine sauce. Enough to get a gold but not enough to take first place. The actual winner was my friend - a really nice middle aged Korean woman: I could imagine her doing one of those humble Asian cooking channels on KZbin... She gives that vibe. Anyway her pasta was impeccable... I actually can't remember the flavours but I remember she used squid ink in half the pasta and it looked absolutely beautiful and had a really rich creamy taste. Definitely deserved the win.
