Reply to comment by lifeonachain99 in LPT: keep a container of baking soda in the kitchen in case of grease fires. by SkinneyIcka

Thats a stretch to say the least. Fire extingushers wont always put out a grease fire, and its horribly inconvenient. Most fire extinguishers DO put out the fire, but they make a gigantic fucking mess and damages furniture and appliances (thats the cost of not burning your house down)

A grease fire is so stupidly easy to deal with, that "use a fire extinguisher" might be the worst advice here.

Put the lid on, put a baking tray over, throw baking soda in. Dont bust out the fire extinguisher for a contained fire that you can stop in 7 other ways long before the extinguisher is necessary.

That was a LIST of 3 separate viable options. Not 3 steps for one solution.

But also, yes. If baking soda alone doesnt do it, toss a lid on it.

As a general rule, do both if you can, but try the lid first.
