Oil Fire in the Kitchen? Never Use Water. Suntex Shows the Right Way.

Most people’s first instinct when an oil pan catches fire is to grab water.
That instinct can be deadly.

Why Water Is Dangerous
Water sinks in oil, then vaporizes instantly

Expands 1,600 times, spraying burning oil everywhere

Result: fire explodes, severe burns, kitchen destroyed

Water doesn’t extinguish an oil fire — it detonates it.

The Correct Method: Starve the Fire of Oxygen
✅ 1. Pot Lid (zero cost)
Slide the lid horizontally over the pan. Turn off heat.
Do not lift until fully cooled.

✅ 2. Fire Blanket (home essential)
Unfold and fully cover the pan. Turn off heat. Leave until cool.

✅ 3. Extinguisher (backup)
Class F (wet chemical) or dry powder works, but powder creates a huge mess.

High heat resistance

Reusable (if not severely damaged)

Simple: pull and cover. No training needed.
