Did you know that you should never try to extinguish an oil fire with water? You do not believe me ? Watch what happens in slow motion in the video above.
Why ? Because if you put water on burning oil, the water sinks to the bottom of the pan, then boils in an instant and expels all the oil in the air which considerably increases the combustion surface.
