I see you have completely predicted the second half of my entry, which I wrote yesterday and then decided to separate off as its own separate entry.
For stove fires, does whole-grain flour work as well as regular? It's got that oily wheat germ in it. I did decide that I would be too chicken to put a lid on a pot that has a fire in it. Maybe a cookie sheet, so I wouldn't have to put my hand so close.
I saw one person who caught something on fire for fun, but then it got out of control, and his automatic response was to quickly throw it in the trash. This doesn't work so well. People who automatically quickly throw flaming things into the sink do better.
