If there is a chip pan which is on fire, the correct way to deal with this is to wet a tea towel, ring it out and then lay it over the top of the burning pan (this excludes the air from the fire) then turn off the heat under the pan and leave it to cool.
You must not throw water into the pan because the fat in the pan is hotter than the boiling point of water and this causes the water to boil and explode, throwing burning fat all over you and the room. Water over a chip pan turns a small, controllable fire into an uncontrollable inferno.

Throw water onto over-hot chip pan.
Why pouring water on to a chippan fire doesnt work?
The burning fat is much hotter than the boiling point of water so when you add water the water explodes into steam, shooting burning fat out of the chip pan into the air and round the kitchen. This spreads the fire. If you chip pan is on fire, turn off the source of heat. And place a damp teacloth or a lid over the chip pan leave and close the kitchen door and ring the fire brigade.
Can you use a fire blanket to put a chip pan fire out?
Yes, you can use a fire blanket to extinguish a chip pan fire, but it must be done cautiously. Ensure the blanket is large enough to cover the pan completely and smother the flames by placing it over the pan without lifting it. Never pour water on a chip pan fire, as this can cause the flames to spread. If the fire is too large or uncontrollable, evacuate and call emergency services immediately.

So when they cook it it won't stick to the pan.
What is a chip-pan fire?
The Stages of a chip pan fire 1. Oil gets so hot that it catches fire all by itself 2. Water is poured into the burning chip pan 3. Water is denser than oil, so it sinks to the bottom of the chip pan (shown in red). As the water touches the bottom, it is heated above its boiling point and instantly vaporizes. 4. The water vapour expands rapidly, ejecting a fireball of burning oil out of the chip pan and into the air where its surface area increases greatly and combustion proceeds much faster
Why shouldn't you use water to put out a chip pan fire?
smother it, preferably with the lid. do NOT use water.AnswerEither place a fire blanket or a damp tea towell over the pan turn off the heat and leave to extinguish and fully cool beforeremoving the covering.as stated above do not use water as this will create a fire balldo not attempt to remove the pan until it is fully coolas this may result in serious personal injury

Why should you never use a fire extinguisher on a chip pan?
You should never use a fire extinguisher on a chip pan fire because it can spread the flames and make the situation worse. Chip pan fires typically involve hot oil, which can splatter and ignite when doused with water-based extinguishers. Instead, it's safer to cover the pan with a lid or use a fire blanket to smother the flames. Always prioritize safety and evacuate if the fire is out of control.
How do you find the volume of a cake pan?
fill it with water then, pour the water into a measuring cup (or something like that)
How do you boil water on an open fire?
By putting the water in a pan/pot and then hold the pan/pot over the fire until hot :)
Is a pan over a flame radiation or conduction?
Both the flame heating the pan and the pan heating the water are examples of conduction. Convection is when the molecules of water heat other molecules of water.
What do you do when you have a chip pan fire?
DO NOT THROW WATER on it. This will cause an explosion. Turn off whatever is heating it if you can. Dampen (not saturated) a towel and cover the pan with it, this will stop the flames. Get everyone out of the house and call the emergency service.
