Kitchen:

• Don’t go away and stay away too long from your kitchen.
• Use a kitchen timer and take it with you. Keep inflammable materials like kitchen towels on a safe distance from the stove.
• Turn off the gas or electricity right after cooking.
• Keep your pans stove and cupboards fat free fry with pans you can put a lid on.
• BUY THE RIGHT fire extinguisher!! One that can deal with high temperatures of oil.
• OUR ADVICE is to let yourself be VERY WELL INFORMED about the use of extinguishers and fire blankets.When used in the wrong situation they can be a great danger*

Flash in the pan:

• PUT A LID ON THE PAN AND LEAVE IT THERE FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES.
• Immediately turn the switch from the heat source to prevent further heating.
• Turn off the hood. And DON’T WALK WITH a hot pan.
• DON´T USE WATER to extinguish WHEN YOUR PAN IS ON FIRE. This causes an explosion.
  Again:
  * -Also wrong extinguishers and certain fire blankets can be a risk.

* -Different fires mean different extinguishers; Frying oil needs a foam extinguisher.
  General extinguisher rule: Get the best possible advice and information from experts.

Some general tips:
