Well it comes from the breath. "fire comes from the breath not the muscles" that's what he told zuko. Also the same reason why Jeong Jeong the deserter had Aang master breathing first before letting him make any fire.
My man I just had a stainless steel pan catch on fire and I remembered this video an put it out. Thank you so much I had to come back and comment my thanks. You seriously saved my kitchen from burning down.
Next time just cover it with a lid. This is horrible advice for someone not trained to do it. Someone will end up spilling burning oil all over their kitchen after watching this.
For anyone wondering the reason why you have to add more oil to the wok in order to put the fire out is because that white smoke is the oil vaporizing and becoming a flammable gas and that's what's actually burning. As long as the oil stays hot enough to vaporize it's going to continue burning, but adding cold oil to it immediately cools down the oil! As long as you turn the heat off beneath the wok, adding cold oil and then blowing on it will put the fire out because there just won't be enough heat to keep the combustion going.
@@Go21place Water is heavier than oil so the water will just pass straight through. It will definitely cool the oil down but it won't put the fire out. If you dump a whole lot of water in at once it'll just splash flaming oil around your kitchen and then you'll have a serious problem.
and why don't u just cover fire with a lid? I mean I've oil on fire once and all it took was to cover wok with a glass lid. Without new oxygen the fire goes down almost immediately
@@Erikem37 Both works, as Long as you take out any elements in the fire triangle (oxygen, heat, fuel) then the fire will be extinguished, so it doesn't really matter what method you use.
@@Erikem37 Since the video is talking about a wok you can pretty much assume that most people aren't going to have a lid large enough to cover their wok

Yeah wait is this true? And if so, is it more effective at snuffing the fire than smothering it? And I thought the most dangerous part of oil fire + WATER is because in panic people would throw a gallon of water into it quickly and it would splash oil particles still on fire everywhere. Would oil not have that same issue? If SO, I feel like that MIGHT imply that if you chose water and used it the way the lad in this video used oil; that is, a small amount slowly, that it would also be effective. Unless the effectiveness comes from the new oil mixing with the old, reducing the temperature below the flash point/combustion point while not putting it out, so then blowing at it will snuff it as it is now below the temperature required to make it catch fire.... am I right?
@@npcrah please never try this or your idea of water. Smothering the fire kills it almost immediately and you basically can't mess it up, just cover completely and don't spill/drop it. Adding water is much more dangerous that you realize. The water will boil explosively and turn what is a large, but mostly contained flame into a god damn inferno. There are plenty of demonstrations on TH-cam for you to see what happens. Adding more oil is not a good idea because you are increasing the amount of fuel, so the flame can be bigger or last longer. You are also increasing the chance of spilling the oil and spreading the fire, or even catching the oil in your bottle on fire, making the problem much much worse. Just smother the pan with a lid, plate, or another pan. Anything large enough to cover the top. Don't panic, a flame in your pan is relatively safe, it is much more likely to burn itself out than catch your walls/ceiling on fire, as long as you don't make the problem worse. (Note: turn off the stove flame and wait a few minutes before uncovering the pan once the fire is smothered. If the stove is still on or the pan is still hot, the smoke released when you uncover the pan could catch fire again and create a sizeable fireball, plus relight the pan fire) Also, if you use a fire extinguisher, make sure it is rated for grease/oil (type ABC or type K). An extinguisher that's only rated A may contain liquids like water and make the problem worse.
prob just wanted to speed up the recording session, in reality it’d take a real long time for it to catch on fire all on it’s own, long enough for you to react to the shitload of smoke and remove it from the heat
@@gumpygumpy yeah it's a top tip, cool it down with more oil, but dangerous as most people who get in this situation would fuck it up further.

@@nlshrmns they have different fire extinguishers for different types of fires. Using a class B fire extinguisher from an safe distance and proper aim would still be considered an appropriate method for putting out the flames. Edit: actually it would be a class k fire extinguisher not class B

Woks dont have lids though so this is a decent strategy especially since there is also a small amount of oil when normally using a wok, so adding oil room temp oils lowers the temp without causing an explosive reaction and since the temperature is now lowered blowing it out is easy and requires a good puff and you should be able avoid more issues. The lid is the most solid strategy but woks usually dont have lids and are probably bigger than most lids you can find

Also in profesional kitchen (i'm a chef de partie) it's mandatory to give new cook this training, i guarante you, they will light them up somehow 😅 (most of them still not used to multitasking, so it's kinda easy for them forgot their burner still on)
This video kept me calm in the kitchen. We were boiling out the fryers, and I messed up and forgot to turn them off when I drained the water. I started to add the oil back to the fryer and as soon as I poured the oil the fryer erupted into flames. I realized what happened and remembered your video. Everyone was panicking and running around and I just slowly turned off the fryer, went off to storage to get a fresh jug of oil and poured it into the fryer putting out the fire.

I’m a line cook and I can’t tell you how important it is to not throw water in an oil fire 💀 watched a guy do that and he lost the skin on his hand and almost burnt down the restaurant
@@misspollysdollydepends on the situation. If you have cool oil readily available and easy to access you can do this, however in my kitchen at work we always keep like 30 boxes of baking soda and use it for small fires like this. Then if you can’t extinguish it with baking soda we have what we call “the asshole system” which is a bunch of spray nozzles with caps on the tips. When those tips start to melt the system goes off, spraying a foamy substance all over every piece of equipment and automatically calls the fire department. However at home, always keep cool oil, baking soda and a fire extinguisher ready so that if one doesn’t work you have other options before calling 911. 🤷♂️
My theory is that adding room temperature oil lowers the overall temperature of the oil below ignition and also displaces the oxygen immediately surrounding the burning oil which means you need to add enough or the fire will just get bigger. Another way is to cover the wok with a huge metal lid to deprive the oil from said oxygen.
@@christiantodo9186 upon your own independent investigation you will learn that the chemical traits of the baking soda nullifies the flames of oil Fun with biochemistry Go now and expand your horizons further I have spoken
Fire needs 3 things to burn, oxygen, fuel and heat. While the oil adds more fuel, it’s cold and decreases the temperature making it too cold to burn. Also, water and oil don’t mix and they like to separate. So adding water at such a high temperature will cause the water to explode (boil super fast) and the oil and fire will go everywhere.
In general if your oil us smoking you should remove it from the heat before this happens but yes it takes time. It's a good example though there are several ways to put out fires safely the biggest thing is to not panic.
You can actually snap it too but careful not to push to hard or you'll end up with igniting match head in your skin, which is exactly as pleasant as it sounds.
I learned this when I worked at checkers. My first time changing the frier grease the tallow cube started to catch fire. My boss came over scooped off a handful from the other side and smothered it out It was also common for it to catch as it melted into the frier so we'd just stuff the tallow block further down into it to smother the fire that way
It caught alight because you tilted the wok and introduced a naked flame to the oil! And you can put out a wok fire with water as when the water vaporises and turns to steam it will smother the flames!
You can turn off the fire by covering it effectively, eliminating oxygen from accessing it. You dont need to toss more oil into it. This can create a fire if done incorrectly. Also, your fire alarm is ringing.
Fire tetrahedron. You offer one solution that is effective, smothering the fire. But adding oil also interrupts the fire triangle by cooling the fire taking away heat from a fuel source that has a relatively high Flashpoint.
@@christiancolson1474 he’s saying that if the average person sees this and tries it but they are not very articulate and make a small mistake could make a dangerous situation more dangerous
This is some an Army thing to do xD (Side note for others) Remember fire needs 3 things, oxidizer, fuel, heat. No, oxygen is not the only oxidizer, chloride is hilariously good at it. When you let off a bomb it creates a shock wave which causes a kind of wind effect, removing heat and air. It can also throw kindle into the air and disperse it Thus. You put out fire with a bomb

If you have cool oil readily available and easy to access you can do this, however in my kitchen at work we always keep like 30 boxes of baking soda and use it for small fires like this. Then if you can’t extinguish it with baking soda we have what we call “the asshole system” which is a bunch of spray nozzles with caps on the tips. When those tips start to melt the system goes off, spraying a foamy substance all over every piece of equipment and automatically calls the fire department. However at home, always keep cool oil, baking soda and a fire extinguisher ready so that if one doesn’t work you have other options before calling 911. 🤷♂️
bruh how do u even get on the line without knowing something like how to put out an oil fire
@@xannyboofer7029 you’d be surprised at how stupid people are
The smoke alarm: "YO WHAT YOU DOING MAN"
By now, one would've guessed all fire alarms in this man's house are completely out of battery
My theory is that adding room temperature oil lowers the overall temperature of the oil below ignition and also displaces the oxygen immediately surrounding the burning oil which means you need to add enough or the fire will just get bigger. Another way is to cover the wok with a huge metal lid to deprive the oil from said oxygen.
Baking soda is also an allow in this circumstance

@@inextinguishablemoltenblooded how can baking soda? Pls explain sir. .. thx
@@christiantodo9186 upon your own independent investigation you will learn that the chemical traits of the baking soda nullifies the flames of oil
Fun with biochemistry
Go now and expand your horizons further

“Put away the fire extinguisher I saw this thing on TH-cam”
Imagine saying that in a real life situation 😂
It’s better to use a lid or a wet towel than a fire extinguisher in this scenario
@@TrezCast wet towel seems like a terrible idea. lid is legit tho
instructions unclear
@@titan2540 wet towel might actually work who knows
i like how he casually just explains how to put it out while there being a literal hellfire in the house
Never heard, but surely you have your professonal point! The whole thing is scary! 😮😮

Hey, Dr. Ork.
He’s making the machine again
Fire needs 3 things to burn, oxygen, fuel and heat.
While the oil adds more fuel, it’s cold and decreases the temperature making it too cold to burn.
Also, water and oil don’t mix and they like to separate. So adding water at such a high temperature will cause the water to explode (boil super fast) and the oil and fire will go everywhere.
You could remove the oxygen component by covering it with another pan causing the fire going out.
@@2Evil2Hopeif you can find a lid that big for the wok.
@@2Evil2Hope yes salt helps aswell or sugar. It acts as dirt and smoothers the fire.
The other problem with water is that it’s more dense than oil, so it sinks to the bottom before it boils - throwing the oil around.
@@2Evil2Hope not easy to find a lid for that thing he's having cooked with a Jet engine.
Coooking isn’t science
Bro opens a gateway to hell
Just coated his entire ceiling in soot for this lesson
*stares longingly at a decent sized fire*
Also him: "that's pretty hot"
“Youve got a bit of time”
Cuts to him tilting the pan towards the flame, lmao, im dieing
In general if your oil us smoking you should remove it from the heat before this happens but yes it takes time. It's a good example though there are several ways to put out fires safely the biggest thing is to not panic.
Camera cuts, sets oil on fire. Never saw the change....
Bro's stove is a whole damn rocket engine
Fire alarm set off my anxiety. Thanks a lot.
bro I still have PTSD from fire alarms. I have been in a house fire before
“How would you put out the fire?”
Proceeds to summon the devil himself from the wok
😂
"See that"
No I don't see your whole pan burning right in front of you
it’s a wok not a pan 😠
smoke alarm just casually going off hes prog used to that
Thank you for teaching people this!!
Damn, just look at how calm he handled the situation
FUCKING HELL THIS SAVED MY LIFE, I WAS PRE HEATING THE OIL AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND I REMEMBERED THIS VID honestly such a life saver
@Eric McBride 💀
I never had any oil catching fire not in my life never I even tried to light it on fire never happened
@Eric McBride bruh
@Eric McBride bruh
@Eric McBride love common sense people like u
You can actually snap it too but careful not to push to hard or you'll end up with igniting match head in your skin, which is exactly as pleasant as it sounds.
I learned this when I worked at checkers. My first time changing the frier grease the tallow cube started to catch fire. My boss came over scooped off a handful from the other side and smothered it out
It was also common for it to catch as it melted into the frier so we'd just stuff the tallow block further down into it to smother the fire that way
the three essential parts of fire are fuel, oxygen and heat. while adding oil is literally adding fuel to the fire, it is eliminating heat.
Yup. If you put water the flame will become bigger untill puts out. Easiest trick is put a cover on top of the wok if u have it.
fire on a wok could blast that lid out especially when it has collected moisture
Man this is a wok it's very different. The pressure trapped under that cover will obliterate the lid 😂
Jokes aside thank you for this advice. You never know You might have saved someone’s life.
It caught alight because you tilted the wok and introduced a naked flame to the oil!
And you can put out a wok fire with water as when the water vaporises and turns to steam it will smother the flames!
the fact that he does this in his own home to teach a REALLY important life skill is just goated, this can save many houses and lives
That stove gon put us out of orbit💀
😂😅🤣Bro it's over 💀☠️😂Alarm sounded😂
You can turn off the fire by covering it effectively, eliminating oxygen from accessing it.
You dont need to toss more oil into it. This can create a fire if done incorrectly. Also, your fire alarm is ringing.
Fire tetrahedron. You offer one solution that is effective, smothering the fire. But adding oil also interrupts the fire triangle by cooling the fire taking away heat from a fuel source that has a relatively high Flashpoint.
@@christiancolson1474 he’s saying that if the average person sees this and tries it but they are not very articulate and make a small mistake could make a dangerous situation more dangerous
@@Divici02623 true
a 1 min video is hard to put in all the info
it just makes sense with woks to use this method I think
I was in the military and when our mortar rounds would catch the range on fire, we would just bomb the fire to put it out. Same energy.
Wdym bomb the fire
This is some an Army thing to do xD
(Side note for others)
Remember fire needs 3 things, oxidizer, fuel, heat. No, oxygen is not the only oxidizer, chloride is hilariously good at it.
When you let off a bomb it creates a shock wave which causes a kind of wind effect, removing heat and air. It can also throw kindle into the air and disperse it
Thus. You put out fire with a bomb
You can also stop fire on oil well this way. Fun times (It was on my science book and McGyver episode once).
The fire alarm at the end was just there to say “congrats, you put the fire out!” 😂
🤣

LOL!!!
"you're gonna blow fire in your face, you fucking *DONKEY*"
This works because the cold oil cools the rest of the flaming oil.
