Just got a short, informative video regarding kitchen grease fires. Worth watching...

Apparently, throwing sugar or flour on the fire is bad news also: the explosion is equivalent to something like two sticks of dynamite!

The reason the grease fire flames up when water's thrown on it? Water is heavier than oil, it sinks to the bottom, where it is instantly vaporized into superheated steam. Which causes it to explode through the grease like a bomb. As an added bonus, it splatters flaming oil all over the kitchen and you: bad bad bad.

I had never heard of the wet dishtowel trick though. Good to know.

Very good!

Sad bit at the end though.
