Use A Fire Blanket To Put Out A Grease Fire
Do you know how to put out a grease fire?
I recently purchased this practical and potentially house-saving (or life-saving) fire blanket. It will put out most any kitchen grease fire and is good insurance to have in the kitchen!
Having posted on this subject before, “How to Put Out a Grease Fire”, I found the fire blanket concept to be a simple and effective way to put out a grease fire quickly…
The fire blanket is three feet square – enough to fit over any stove top pan.

Add a layer of safety and peace of mind while cooking in the kitchen!
When things get out of control while cooking and you suddenly have a grease fire, the Fire Blanket will extinguish it.
Remove the blanket from the hanging pouch and calmly place over the cooking fire to smother the flames.
Note: If you use a fire extinguisher, it might actually blow some of the burning grease out of the pan if you’re too close.
Note: A recent study concluded 31% of home structure fires involved cooking equipment.
The fire blanket is ‘made from 100% glass fabric’ (a fiberglass mesh).
Alternatively, you could simply cover the flaming grease fire pot with its own cover while using mitts – or slide a cookie sheet over it.
Once the oxygen is consumed and snuffed out, the fire WILL go out. Do not remove the pan from the stove. Simply shut off the heat source and let the pan sit there and cool down.
