I tried making pot roast for the first time in my new dutch oven… started out really bad and scary.
Probably Shabbos dinner wasn’t the best choice to try a new and involved recipe, but I wanted such a special meal to be for Shabbat (expensive ingredients).
Hey JRWI tumblr!! JRWI: The Suckening almost made me burn down my house! I got distracted while listening to EP 4 and my stovetop popcorn popper that had oil in it was on the stovetop. Apparently, I had turned the stovetop to high instead of off, since the dial didn't click into place. I did not realize that the oil inside caught fire until there were large amounts of smoke. My house's smoke alarms did not go off ONCE, which is concerning. Anyways, I was able to put out the fire since my parents always taught me fire safety, but my popcorn popper is done for. Thank you, JRWI: The Suckening! (I am also to blame but this is funnier).
listen guys, when oc inspiration hits, you draw. anywho, this is going to be Thunder Shock’s dad, Grease Fire! He’s an Aussie mechanic who’s rough and immature but really just loves joking around. He’s a great dad who’d do anything for his kids, and works hard to provide for them all.
The fact that pouring water on a grease fire makes the fire WORSE feels like a real-life glitch that was never patched. BITCH you are FIRE. This is NOT how it's supposed to work.
Grease Fire Safety
Because the 19 year neighbor across the street did not know not to put a pan with a grease fire into a sink and pour on water. (they are fine, spooked, it was stopped before it left the kitchen.)
Some info on grease fires.
Oil and Grease have smoke points, temperatures that they can get too. Once they hit that point, they can combust. Which is why you need to use the correct oil for the cook job. IF you are using a mix, please go by the lowest smoke point.
Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
The instructions for how to put out a grease fire must be followed in this exact order:1
Turn off the stove.
Cover the pot, pan, or fryer with a lid.
Douse the fire with baking soda, salt, or a fire extinguisher—never water.
How to Put Out a Grease Fire
Starve it of oxygen. If the kitchen is on fire, get out and close the door behind you.
Most grease fires happen during the holidays, especially Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
This NFPA report includes analysis of patterns and trends in all measures of fire loss for all types of home cooking equipment.
Always stay in the kitchen when frying on the stovetop.
Keep an eye on what you fry. If you see wisps of smoke or the oil smells, immediately turn off the burner and/or carefully remove the pan from the burner. Smoke is a danger sign that the oil is too hot.
Heat the oil slowly to the temperature you need for frying or sautéing.
Add food gently to the pot or pan so the oil does not splatter.
Always cook with a lid beside your pan. If you have a fire, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Do not remove the cover because the fire could start again. Let the pan cool for a long time. Never throw water on the fire.
If the fire does not go out or you don’t feel comfortable sliding a lid over the pan, get everyone out of your home. Call the fire department from outside.
Water on a grease fire
So I know grease fires can't be put out with water. But what if you had a pan with a grease fire in it and threw it into a large enough body of water, like a lake or the ocean? Would the fire extinguish with the sheer amount of water, or would the grease - and in turn, the fire - float to the surface of the water like with oil spills?
Because grease is less dense than water, it would float and continue to burn, just like an oil spill. Water and oil don’t mix, which is the fundamental reason water won’t put out a grease fire. Instead, what usually happens is the water immediately boils and expands, throwing burning oil in every direction. Throwing burning oil on water probably won’t boil it, but it definitely won’t put out the flames either. It would be a cool way to light your pool on fire though!
Now if you did want to put out the fire, the best way is to remove oxygen from the fire. If it’s in a pot or pan, simply putting a lid on it will quickly put out the fire. You could also pour sand on the fire or use certain fire extinguishers. And yes, if there was some way to manually submerge the oil for long enough to starve it of oxygen, that would put it out as well.
