That was very good. Even though I *know* I'm not supposed to throw water on a grease fire, would I remember in an emergency? I'm not so sure.
Seeing the (dramatic!) result probably etched it in my mind more than hearing it said 1,000 times. Thanks for the link, I am going to show it to my family.
T-Al, I wonder if the spray from an extinguisher wouldn't also tend to spread the fire by splashing? The wet rag, or a pot cover seems safer. I thought the wet rag was a great idea, I always heard throw flour on it (or was it sugar?). Hmmm, flour dust is flammable, but that small amount might be OK.
