Well it comes from the breath. "fire comes from the breath not the muscles" that's what he told zuko. Also the same reason why Jeong Jeong the deserter had Aang master breathing first before letting him make any fire.

There's a girl who threw water into an oil fire and the resulting explosion melted her face off. She survived her injuries though of course she will never look the same. Kudos to her she's still happily living her life. Thanks so much for this vlog, a lot of people's knee jerk reaction to puttimg out fires is with water.
For anyone wondering the reason why you have to add more oil to the wok in order to put the fire out is because that white smoke is the oil vaporizing and becoming a flammable gas and that's what's actually burning. As long as the oil stays hot enough to vaporize it's going to continue burning, but adding cold oil to it immediately cools down the oil! As long as you turn the heat off beneath the wok, adding cold oil and then blowing on it will put the fire out because there just won't be enough heat to keep the combustion going.
@@Go21place Water is heavier than oil so the water will just pass straight through. It will definitely cool the oil down but it won't put the fire out. If you dump a whole lot of water in at once it'll just splash flaming oil around your kitchen and then you'll have a serious problem.
and why don't u just cover fire with a lid? I mean I've oil on fire once and all it took was to cover wok with a glass lid. Without new oxygen the fire goes down almost immediately
@@Erikem37 Both works, as Long as you take out any elements in the fire triangle (oxygen, heat, fuel) then the fire will be extinguished, so it doesn't really matter what method you use.
@@Erikem37 Since the video is talking about a wok you can pretty much assume that most people aren't going to have a lid large enough to cover their wok
@@NearEDGE then again the wok shape allows u to easily use smaller lid. All in all the oil in flame is a small puddle at the bottom and not like whole wok filled entirely with oil. I've mentioned that I've had fire and while my wok is like 34cm at the top I used something like 26-28cm lid and it worked pretty well

Sorry late, it's not a bold move imo. It's really important to know what to do when it's happened so you not panic. Also in profesional kitchen (i'm a chef de partie) it's mandatory to give new cook this training, i guarante you, they will light them up somehow 😅 (most of them still not used to multitasking, so it's kinda easy for them forgot their burner still on)
prob just wanted to speed up the recording session, in reality it’d take a real long time for it to catch on fire all on it’s own, long enough for you to react to the shitload of smoke and remove it from the heat
@@gumpygumpy yeah it's a top tip, cool it down with more oil, but dangerous as most people who get in this situation would fuck it up further. These videos always make me wonder, it's obviously just for likes and gratification, I mean who 'always asks, how do you know when it's going to catch fire' ?! No one, it always bullshit for these videos, no one knows how to be real anymore, it's always twisted truths just for views, it's pointless.
Yeah wait is this true? And if so, is it more effective at snuffing the fire than smothering it? And I thought the most dangerous part of oil fire + WATER is because in panic people would throw a gallon of water into it quickly and it would splash oil particles still on fire everywhere. Would oil not have that same issue? If SO, I feel like that MIGHT imply that if you chose water and used it the way the lad in this video used oil; that is, a small amount slowly, that it would also be effective. Unless the effectiveness comes from the new oil mixing with the old, reducing the temperature below the flash point/combustion point while not putting it out, so then blowing at it will snuff it as it is now below the temperature required to make it catch fire.... am I right?
@@npcrah please never try this or your idea of water. Smothering the fire kills it almost immediately and you basically can't mess it up, just cover completely and don't spill/drop it. Adding water is much more dangerous that you realize. The water will boil explosively and turn what is a large, but mostly contained flame into a god damn inferno. There are plenty of demonstrations on RUclips for you to see what happens. Adding more oil is not a good idea because you are increasing the amount of fuel, so the flame can be bigger or last longer. You are also increasing the chance of spilling the oil and spreading the fire, or even catching the oil in your bottle on fire, making the problem much much worse. Just smother the pan with a lid, plate, or another pan. Anything large enough to cover the top. Don't panic, a flame in your pan is relatively safe, it is much more likely to burn itself out than catch your walls/ceiling on fire, as long as you don't make the problem worse. (Note: turn off the stove flame and wait a few minutes before uncovering the pan once the fire is smothered. If the stove is still on or the pan is still hot, the smoke released when you uncover the pan could catch fire again and create a sizeable fireball, plus relight the pan fire) Also, if you use a fire extinguisher, make sure it is rated for grease/oil (type ABC or type K). An extinguisher that's only rated A may contain liquids like water and make the problem worse.
I learned this when I worked at checkers. My first time changing the frier grease the tallow cube started to catch fire. My boss came over scooped off a handful from the other side and smothered it out It was also common for it to catch as it melted into the frier so we'd just stuff the tallow block further down into it to smother the fire that way

@@nlshrmns they have different fire extinguishers for different types of fires. Using a class B fire extinguisher from an safe distance and proper aim would still be considered an appropriate method for putting out the flames. Edit: actually it would be a class k fire extinguisher not class B
@@LeviGIV true enough but in a panic people won't consider any of that and most likely blast the extinguisher point-blank and spray oil all over the kitchen
Woks dont have lids though so this is a decent strategy especially since there is also a small amount of oil when normally using a wok, so adding oil room temp oils lowers the temp without causing an explosive reaction and since the temperature is now lowered blowing it out is easy and requires a good puff and you should be able avoid more issues. The lid is the most solid strategy but woks usually dont have lids and are probably bigger than most lids you can find
The reason this works is that adding cool oil lowers the temperature of the oil that's currently on fire as well as lowering the temperature of the wok that is no longer being heated up by the stove. The fire goes out as soon as the oil and wok cool to a temperature below the flash point of whatever oil you're using.
@@JOJINKAODM It works but it comes with the downside of auto-ignition when you take othe lid off. It takes a long time to cool down... Also what wok do you have that you can place over another safely? Get a bit flat piece of metal and leave it nearby
I’m a line cook and I can’t tell you how important it is to not throw water in an oil fire 💀 watched a guy do that and he lost the skin on his hand and almost burnt down the restaurant
@@misspollysdollydepends on the situation. If you have cool oil readily available and easy to access you can do this, however in my kitchen at work we always keep like 30 boxes of baking soda and use it for small fires like this. Then if you can’t extinguish it with baking soda we have what we call “the asshole system” which is a bunch of spray nozzles with caps on the tips. When those tips start to melt the system goes off, spraying a foamy substance all over every piece of equipment and automatically calls the fire department. However at home, always keep cool oil, baking soda and a fire extinguisher ready so that if one doesn’t work you have other options before calling 911. 🤷♂️
My theory is that adding room temperature oil lowers the overall temperature of the oil below ignition and also displaces the oxygen immediately surrounding the burning oil which means you need to add enough or the fire will just get bigger. Another way is to cover the wok with a huge metal lid to deprive the oil from said oxygen.
@@christiantodo9186 upon your own independent investigation you will learn that the chemical traits of the baking soda nullifies the flames of oil Fun with biochemistry Go now and expand your horizons further I have spoken
In general if your oil us smoking you should remove it from the heat before this happens but yes it takes time. It's a good example though there are several ways to put out fires safely the biggest thing is to not panic.
Fire needs 3 things to burn, oxygen, fuel and heat. While the oil adds more fuel, it’s cold and decreases the temperature making it too cold to burn. Also, water and oil don’t mix and they like to separate. So adding water at such a high temperature will cause the water to explode (boil super fast) and the oil and fire will go everywhere.
This is some an Army thing to do xD (Side note for others) Remember fire needs 3 things, oxidizer, fuel, heat. No, oxygen is not the only oxidizer, chloride is hilariously good at it. When you let off a bomb it creates a shock wave which causes a kind of wind effect, removing heat and air. It can also throw kindle into the air and disperse it Thus. You put out fire with a bomb

Another way is to cover the wok with a huge metal lid to deprive the oil from said oxygen.
Baking soda is also an allow in this circumstance

@@inextinguishablemoltenblooded how can baking soda? Pls explain sir. .. thx
@@christiantodo9186 upon your own independent investigation you will learn that the chemical traits of the baking soda nullifies the flames of oil
Fun with biochemistry
Go now and expand your horizons further
I have spoken
@@christiantodo9186 it gives off CO2
“How would you put out the fire?”

Thank you for teaching people this!!
“Youve got a bit of time”
Cuts to him tilting the pan towards the flame, lmao, im dieing
In general if your oil us smoking you should remove it from the heat before this happens but yes it takes time. It's a good example though there are several ways to put out fires safely the biggest thing is to not panic.
Camera cuts, sets oil on fire. Never saw the change....
"See that"
No I don't see your whole pan burning right in front of you
it’s a wok not a pan 😠
I'll add that to my list of "things that seem counterintuitive but for some reason work really well"
I wasn't prepared the moment the fire getting uncontrollably huge.
Fire needs 3 things to burn, oxygen, fuel and heat.
While the oil adds more fuel, it’s cold and decreases the temperature making it too cold to burn.
Also, water and oil don’t mix and they like to separate. So adding water at such a high temperature will cause the water to explode (boil super fast) and the oil and fire will go everywhere.
You could remove the oxygen component by covering it with another pan causing the fire going out.
@@2Evil2Hopeif you can find a lid that big for the wok.
@@2Evil2Hope yes salt helps aswell or sugar. It acts as dirt and smoothers the fire.
The other problem with water is that it’s more dense than oil, so it sinks to the bottom before it boils - throwing the oil around.
@@2Evil2Hope not easy to find a lid for that thing he's having cooked with a Jet engine.
the three essential parts of fire are fuel, oxygen and heat. while adding oil is literally adding fuel to the fire, it is eliminating heat.
Actually very useful quick video!
the only time you can say "adding fuel to the fire" properly
That stove gon put us out of orbit💀
the fact that he does this in his own home to teach a REALLY important life skill is just goated, this can save many houses and lives
This is the best type if cooking advice!
"It's pretty hot"
no shit its fire
The fire alarm at the end was just there to say “congrats, you put the fire out!” 😂
🤣
Yup. If you put water the flame will become bigger untill puts out. Easiest trick is put a cover on top of the wok if u have it.
fire on a wok could blast that lid out especially when it has collected moisture
Man this is a wok it's very different. The pressure trapped under that cover will obliterate the lid 😂
Homie ruined his whole ceiling for this video
Bro said "fight fire with more fire"
"Leave it leeaaaveee ittttt leerave ittt you focking wanker" - G.R.
LOL!!!
"you're gonna blow fire in your face, you fucking *DONKEY*"
Smother the fire with a lid
Bro got scared for a second there
Bro is always dripped
"That's pretty hot"
It is indeed
pretty sure you meant "it is indeed"
I was in the military and when our mortar rounds would catch the range on fire, we would just bomb the fire to put it out. Same energy.
Wdym bomb the fire
This is some an Army thing to do xD
(Side note for others)
Remember fire needs 3 things, oxidizer, fuel, heat. No, oxygen is not the only oxidizer, chloride is hilariously good at it.
When you let off a bomb it creates a shock wave which causes a kind of wind effect, removing heat and air. It can also throw kindle into the air and disperse it
Thus. You put out fire with a bomb
You can also stop fire on oil well this way. Fun times (It was on my science book and McGyver episode once).
He looks like just woke up in sunday morning
„Its pretty hot“
next to fire turning into volcano
How he managed to not freak out even a little when the fire was practically touching his roof amazes me
*I'm guessing that's not his first demonstration*
Guessing it's not going to be him cleaning it either...
@@AndrewRasmussenRides there’s nothing to clean, except the wok
