Fire Safety PSA from the UK
Thanks to Bill Creswell for captioning this.
I’ll admit it was the first time I’ve seen the suggestion to use a wet cloth rather than a lid but then I realized that not everyone HAS a lid for their various pots and pans.
I’m a big lover of Alton Brown’s Good Eats program. If you watch the program, you’ll know that AB loves the multi-taskers but makes room in his heart and kitchen for only one uni-tasker: the fire extinguisher. Be like AB and get one. Don’t put it under the counter back behind the pots and pans. Keep it in a very easy to reach place.
Good stuff and thanks, Bill.

Just to add in case anybody is not aware that the Fire Departments in the UK will visit your home free, do a fire safety check free and fit up to two smoke dectectory free.
They then register your home and call again when it needs updating.
