oh. god. I would not know how to deal with this sort of thing. I had to soak a fungus-y pressure cooker today because we forgot to scrape it out in time, but things actually on fire would freak me out.
I actually have a fire extinguisher in my kitchen. I know where it is, it’s near but not behind the stove (crucial: you must not put it somewhere you’d have to reach through what’s most likely on fire to get to!), it’s rated for both grease and electrical fires (I think??). I thought about getting it. But I was like. Well. If i can just beat this with a spatula until it goes out, then I won’t have to use the fire extinguisher, which I’ve never used and also I know will be a total fucking mess.
Our toaster catches fire occasionally too. Smushing the burning thing with a spatula usually works.
A spatula would not have worked for this, it was too big. IT WAS LIKE WHOLE HUNKS OF ANIMAL FAT WHO LEAVES A BROILER PAN LOOKING LIKE THAT OH MY GOD.
So. Dude did the smart thing, went first and opened the door, then got hot dish mitts. It’s important not to do anything foolish when confronted with fire. I have no complaints about his handling.
But the passive voice and use of “we”– Not Acceptable. Absolutely not, bucko! “We” did not fail to do this! It did not fail to happen on its own!
