How do you put out bacon fat fires.... With sugar water baking soda or vinegar?

These substances can actually make the fire worse! Here's why:

* Water: Water is denser than grease, so it sinks to the bottom, causing the grease to splatter and spread the fire.

* Sugar water, baking soda, and vinegar: These substances can react with hot grease, creating more splatter and possibly explosions.

The safest way to extinguish a grease fire is to:

1. Turn off the heat source immediately.

2. Smother the flames:

* Use a lid: A metal lid will cut off the oxygen supply, suffocating the fire.

* Use baking soda: Baking soda is a good option for small fires, but make sure to use a large amount and be careful not to cause the grease to splatter.

* Use a fire extinguisher: A Class B fire extinguisher specifically designed for grease fires is the most effective way to put out the fire.

Important safety tips:

* Never leave grease unattended on the stove.

* Keep a lid and fire extinguisher nearby when cooking with grease.

* If the fire is large or out of control, evacuate the area immediately and call the fire department.
