Putting Out A Pan Fire- New Option To A Blanket

[Siddy]

Just found this new option to put out a cooking fire, takes 3 seconds and looks safer than throwing a blanket over which in turn could be caught and the pan pulled over.

Check it out below, Could be handy to have on on the boat.

This looks like it could be a valuable addition to the boat (and household) kit.

Works like a foam fire extinguisher by snuffing out the flames then remaining in place to block out the oxygen while the pan cools down.

Simple and clever idea.

[MauriceMynah]

Very interesting. I'm going to look into it further.

[Polly]

Yes it looks good.

[JennyMorgan]

Throw the darned thing over the side! Simple & cost effective.

[MauriceMynah]

Jump over the side. Simple cheaper and safer

You can also use a lid or tray that covers the pan.Being a chef In over 40 years ,I have been lucky and not seen anything to bad.However am also aware if anything  does happen.This item does look useful,May well do the trick on a boat.

"Throw the darn thing over the side!"......But JM, you wouldn't want to pollute the water and upset the BA, now would you?

It's the blackened cooking oil on people's waterlines that I would worry about, not the BA!

Gadgetitus can become an obsession on a boat. If I were to fit everything that I might need but never will then I suspect that my waterline and rubbing strake would be one and the same by now! 

 

[TheQ]

Hmm

Pick up pan of burning oil, flames probably licking the ceiling, try to carry said pan up steps with out spilling any on you or the boat. Without setting fire to the canopy, Open canopy,  Attempt to throw burning oil pan overboard with getting any on you or the boat.....

Er no...

 I'll stick to a pan lid or fire blanket or maybe this new stuff. Or actually I wouldn't use hot oil like that on a boat anyway, in case a hullabloo comes thundering past...

You ain't got no sense of adventure you ain't.

I remember having a frying pan catch fire in my camper van, the poor soul walking past as it flew out of the door was rather shocked, as was the friend with a beard sitting right next to the door as it went past just in front of his eyes.

[Baitrunner]

I'm with The Q. No oil pans onboard!!

although I know plenty of fry ups happen on hire boats and this is idiot proof. 

I do wonder how many people actually know how to use a fire blanket properly and even if they did would remember it in a panic?

this is a great idea. 

Would still have the fire blanket as well after having it demonstrated how they can be used for protection in a general fire situation. 

Just hope I never need to put any of it into practice. 

[Polly]

We use frying pans, but minimum oil on account of calories etc. I always have a lid handy and we have a fire blanket aboard. Nevertheless I like the look of this gadget.

[MauriceMynah]

I like to cook a full English brekkie, but only have two rings and a grill so the frying pan is used a lot. I'm likely to get one of these and keep it next to the fire blanket.

seems to be a better price

[Bedslad]

When Mrs B L does a fry up on a boat she always has a wet tea towel on hand.

Glad you found this a good item and not to steep in cost but MM found a good price for a 3 pack ( I know I should deleted comment and MM will be the first to pick up on it). I went to the checkout but can't find the carriage cost without signing up.

What I will do after seeing that price is contact the company I found and try get a discount for the forum user to use direct. I can only ask.

Great device, effective but more importantly, very safe to use. When I taught firefighting techniques, I used to demonstrate what happened when a pan of oil was sprayed with water - very spectacular and scary. I think these devices are a no brainer and almost idiot proof!

I looked at both sites for 6. Although MM s site charged more for postage, his seemed to me to be the cheaper one.  Postage prices appear at the bottom of the sign up page but can be seen without signing up. If I read it correctly P&P was £3,95

[johnb]

I've just ordered 6 for us and family, total cost £53.93 from Tristar products. 7  day delivery

Hence the caveat "almost".......
