Did you ever have a pan fire happen when you were cooking? If so, you know how scary – and dangerous – that can be. Therefore, take the risk out of using your stovetop by having baby soda on hand at all times. While this substance is usually used for baking, it can also double as a fire extinguisher if needed. Here are some home safety tips in the kitchen on how to use the baking soda if a small cooking fire occurs: First turn off the gas or electricity right away, then sprinkle handfuls of the baking soda at the base of the flames. As soon as you have it under control, call your local fire department for help, just in case the flames re-ignite. Also, a few more things you should remember when it comes to safety in the kitchen is never use baking soda on deep fat fryers, since this could cause splattering. Also never use water on an electrical fire.
