Oil Kitchen Fire Accident
Last night i was trying to cook somethihng new; i decided to cook Chinese food.
I made the marinade and the sauce was on low. And i put a full bottle of Peanut Oil in a large pot to deep fry the Seasme Chicken i was making. Well it just so happens that Desperate Housewives is on. So i go to watch it, waiting for the peanut oil to come to a boil. Well after a short period of time, my wife notices smoke in the kitchen. I go inside the kitchen and the pot with the oil has lots of smoke coming from it. This was the order of events that happened next. 1) I turned the heat off 2) i tried to take the pot off the burner, Some how the pot got stuck to the burner, i give a little yank and it comes off and i palce it in the middle of the stove 3) the inside of the pot instantly goes on fire(wtf?) ( 1-2" flame inside the pot, on top of the oil ) I panic which brings me to my brain dead plan of "quick get it out, i need water" 4) i turn the faucet on 5) i place the pot filled with oil on fire under the faucet, standing back and holding it with my right hand. .......... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] KABOOOMM..a flame big enough to make Universal Studios proud ( about 3-4 ft wide and touching the ceiling ) the burnt of fire gets on my right hand i drop the pot of oil into the sink. and run outside to get the fire extinguisher. Just so happens that the little metal stick to break the glass is gone! I decide to punch it I give it a slight punch with my right hand( i'm right handed ) and thats when i realize my right hand is in pain. I punch it with my left hand then as hard as i can get the fire extingusiher put out the fire Just in time for the sprinklers to go off. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] So now the alarms are already on and i'm outside my door neighbors are all concerned and dialed 911, thats when i notice my right hand is burnt, and my left hand is gushing blood and a peice of my finger is dangling. Fire trucks come turn the water off about a good 10 minutes later. Ambulence tells me to go to the hospital and ask if i want a ride. I decline and tell them i'll go myself. I flooded my neighbor downstairs really badly and the fire man comments on the lack off metal stick that caused me to get my hand [censored] up was bad on the complex. Yada Yada Yada, i got lots of stitches and 2nd degree burns. I do have pics but they look scary so i'm not sure if you want to see them. Let me just say burns hurt really bad. I filed an accident report with the complex to pay for pain/suffering/bills for the lack of the metal stick which is still pending. I had to move out of my apartment because all the floors was flooded and the damge to the kitchen. |

Re: Oil Kitchen Fire Accident
Next time put a lid on it. I guess that's information that would have been more useful to you yesterday though. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Turn heat off. Leave alone, unless there are active flames.

Damn, dude. That's pretty wretched. Sometimes it's hard to think straight in a crisis.

Re: Oil Kitchen Fire Accident
That sucks, but I'll have to admit I was laughing at how you handled the entire thing.
I would suggest getting the following: 1. A lid 2. Baking soda 3. DVR so you can pause TV shows |
