Would you have known what to do?
 

yes turn off the heat and put a wet teatowel to douse the flame

:joker: the smoke gradually filling up the room, now go and put some clothes on before QB smacks your bottom

:nono:

not on a grease fire

looks like she was about to play darts after dinner

Push them into the fire.

I was half right :hmph:

:joker:

:joker:

what i love is the guys first move was to attack it with highly flammable paper towels!

Followed by launching on the floor. Yes, go on, set the rest of the house on fire.

lid on it, cut off the oxygen supply, and i'd more take it outside i think and then use sand to extinguish it completely, i mean the food is ruined already anyway, burned food is never good for you

:laugh2:

It really puts you off cooking with black lacy lingerie

Ask me at 1am, I’ll let you know how it’s going.

are people really that stupid? Looked setup to me

the lad nearly put the whole house up and gave himself 3 degree burns

if it was it was equally as stupid

if not more

Even though I should just let you burn your house down for your rudeness Cherie...

... please don't put a wet teatowel on an oil fire, if the wet towel goes into the oil it'll flash boil and coat you in burning hot oil. It's better than throwing actual water on it (boom :omgno: ) but you don't want water anywhere near.

The right answer for this unfortunately is that if you don't have a powder fire extinguisher or fire blanket your best bet is as Nicky says, try to get a lid on the pot and get it off the heat.

Or get it off the heat when it started smoking several minutes earlier 'cos oil fires don't start that fast :umm2:.

I'm confused. The advice always used to be use a ringed-out damp towel.

It happened in the Big Brother 1 house in 2000.

They used a towel there to smother the fire - can't see if it was wet or not though. :unsure:

Possibility with streamers.

Some old adverts about what to do.

I think it was a fire blanket (dry).
