Yep. The master chef lit up the kitchen! I freaked the bleep out. Scared the heck out of me. Here I am, rockin out on Guitar Hero while DH cooks our quick Friday night dinner (baked chicken and home fries), and what do I see out of the corner of my eye? Him swatting a towel at a fire taller than the pot he was frying the home fries in. I threw the guitar and ran around like crazy trying to find our fire extinguisher, but of course I didn't find it. Luckily he beat it out safely without hurting anything.

He was frying in a pan that was too shallow and SOMEHOW spilled the grease over on the stovetop and SOMEHOW caught it on fire with an electric stove! I'm teasing the heck out of him. But it did make us realize we don't have a fire extinguisher. (I thought all apts did?) It is a good thing he knows how to put it out, because I woulda done alllll the wrong things!

We need to get one too. We have one in the hallway but I'd prefer to have a little kitchen one in the apartment. I know my parents have one in their kitchen.

I'm glad that yall are okay and I'm over here dying of laughter picturing you running around looking for an extinguisher that isnt there

[~* Helen *~]

Aww glad you ar ok !!! Only a man could set the kitchen on fire with an electric cooker



*edited* for spelling

Oh no! Go get yourselves a fire hydrant. I have a mini one that I got after I managed to catch shortbread cookies on fire in the oven... that was oh so embarrassing. Glad he got it all put out safely though.

I'm so happy it wasn't anything major!! It is important to have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen.

[LisanAndy]

Glad you all are ok! Poor hubby

Next time, you can reach for baking soda. Or cover the flames with a lid (after removing the pan--though it might not be good since it was full of oil). Anyway--glad it's okay now.

How was the chicken?

[Frozendesire]

Oh man that's so scary!!

Thanks for the tips ladies! The chicken was good. The home fries were better. I loooovvveee home fries. I'm drooling looking at his meatloaf right now. No fires tonight!

[Oriyan]

Most aparments dont come with fire estinguishers. Glad all is well!!

We have 3 here. 1 in our closet, 1 under the sink, and a special one that puts our grease fires on the kitchen counter.

I'm glad everyone's safe. I just realized we don't have a fire extinguisher at all!!!

[JediRach]

Guy has totally done this. Not safe!
