Be super careful if you are thinking about moving a grease fire.
You absolutely don’t want to spill it as you are moving it because it slips from your hands, because you are panicking, or because the flames get bigger and you recoil.
If you have the money, buy a fire blanket and keep one on a wall or inside a cabinet door such as a pantry door. They aren’t that expensive and as long as it hasn’t been used it will last you a lifetime. Your life, your health, your belongings as well as those of your pets and loved ones are worth it. Think of it like an insurance policy.
Just remember that you want the fire blanket near the stove. Not beside it. The last thing you want to do is have flames blocking you from reaching the damn thing.
Also welding gloves > oven mitts for the kitchen. They protect your forearms and you’re going to have a better time dealing with a fire wearing those than you would with an oven mitt. Same goes if you have open fires, especially if you’re camping. Being able to throw on some gloves to pick up a log of burning wood can spare you from disaster.
