Most start from simple oil based cooking.Keeping an Emergency Fire Blanket in your kitchen is one of the most important decisions you can make for you and your family. Just pull the straps to release the fire blanket, cover it over the fire and its instantly suffocated before getting out of control. We recommended keeping one in the house per person. Its a one time purchase that can lives and thousands in damages. Even children and elderly can use it. Just pull the tabs to release the Emergency Fire Blanket from its case. Cover the fire with the blanket to put it out in just seconds! No bulky and complicated extinguishers that leave you with a mess to clean. Our kitchen mess after a minor grease fire melted the bottom of the microwave.

If I had known these existed and thrown one over the stove instead, problem solved. Now I know too late, yourselves the trouble! Nice nylon carrying case with instructions for use printed on it.
