The Fire You Didn't Plan For

You're in your kitchen, whipping up your favorite meal. The aroma is mouthwatering, your playlist is on, and everything seems perfect. Then - WHOOSH - the oil in your pan catches fire. Flames shoot up. Smoke fills the air. Your heart races.

What do you do? Panic? Throw water? Run?

Here's the truth: most people freeze or make the wrong move in this exact moment. And that's what turns a small pan fire into a kitchen disaster.

Why Cooktop Fires Happen

Cooktop fires are incredibly common and happen for simple reasons:

  • Overheated oil - Oil left on high heat exceeds its smoke point
  • Unattended cooking - Stepping away "for just a minute"
  • Spilled grease - Oil splatters hitting the open flame
  • Faulty equipment - Damaged burners or gas connections

The 5-Second Fix: PanSafe Sachet

The PanSafe Kitchen Fire Extinguishing Sachet is your 5-second fix for cooktop fires:

  1. See the fire - Flames appear in your pan
  2. Grab the sachet - Keep it within arm's reach of your stove
  3. Drop it in - Toss the sachet into the burning pan
  4. Fire's out - Flames are extinguished in seconds
  5. Stay calm - No mess, no damage, no injuries

That's it. Five seconds from fire to safety.

What NOT to Do During a Cooktop Fire

  • NEVER pour water on an oil fire - It causes an explosive fireball
  • Don't try to move the pan - You'll spill burning oil on yourself
  • Don't fan the flames - More oxygen = bigger fire
  • Don't use flour - It's combustible and will make things worse
