Does no one have lids for their cookware? Just cover it. A cutting board or cookie sheet works good too.
Not all kitchen fires are on the stove, toasters and toaster ovens are common culprits as well.
Throwing it into an oven that's turned off and then closing the oven door can help extinguish the flames too
Don't start walking around with burning shit
Of course you shouldn't do that, silly.
What I meant was if you are cooking on your stovetop using a pan and somehow don't have a lid, fire blanket, fire extinguisher etc, you can just put it inside the oven. Flames and all. Just make sure you shut the door. It works best when the oven is not filled or in use
This stops the fire from spreading, and starves it of oxygen quickly. Another alternative method is to use another pot/pan that's just big enough to cover the top of the burning pan.
