    Because the density of oil is smaller than that of water, when the oil pan is on fire, you pour water into the pan, and the water immediately sinks to the bottom of the oil layer. In this way, the water not only cannot separate the oil from the air, but it is like a layer of oil padding, so that the oil layer rises, so that it overflows out of the pot, and the oil runs everywhere, which greatly increases the area it is in contact with the air, and the more the fire burns, the more dangers it causes. Therefore, when the oil pan is on fire, do not splash it with water.

    If such an accident happens accidentally in life, the correct way to deal with it is to immediately put the lid on the pot, and then turn off the switch, the oil and air are isolated, and the fire will soon be extinguished.

    Do not extinguish with water, if you use water to extinguish the oil pot after the fire, not only will it not be extinguished, but it will burn more and more with the buoyancy of the water, the oil is floating on the water, you can cover the pot after the oil pot is on fire, if there is less oil, you can extinguish the fire of the stove or take the pot away from the stove and blow out the fire.
