Question

Answer 1

Make sure you always have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen.

Place a lid on a grease fire or some kind of pot or pan that can smother the fire. You can also try throwing flour on a grease fire to smother it.

Food poisoning: stomach hurts, nausea, vomiting.

Answer 2

Smother a grease fie (put a lid on it and take away the oxygen) or throw a fireproof cloth over it - asbestos, not a potholder. Easiest thing is just put the lid on the pan. If your whole kitchen is on fire use the fire (chemical) extinguisher and call 911. NEVER add water. ever.

Food poisoning includes sudden vomiting or diarrhea, blood in vomit/ diarrhea, disorientation, cramps, nausea, headache, fever, flushed face, off color skin, sweating. It depends what you poisoned them with. Usually people who have food poisoning lose a lot out of both ends (body protects itself) and the result is severe dehydration – which is where a lot of those symptoms come in. They need to go to the hospital. If you are working in the kitchen I have seen a lot of people getting ill from improperly cleaned things - regular poisoning from workers spraying the salad bar with windex etc. If you have multiple complaints you should refrigerate samples of what was being served and send for testing. You are either straight poisoning (rat poison, bleach, soap, or food that has rotten into a toxin or already contains one like snake/ frogs/ fish), serving people foods with toxins produced by bacteria, serving people foods that contain virus or bacteria that can harm them, or serving up parasites including tape worms, tongue worms, etc. (from undercooked food) The only other possibility is if someone starts getting extreme swelling, hives or loses consciousness- then they are probably having an allergic reaction. That's a good class you're taking.

Answer 3

I know you should NOT put water on a grease fire. The grease will float on top of the water and continue to burn. You have to smother a grease fire, not drown it. What would you have in the kitchen when cooking that would smother the fire and not act as a fuel? When dumping the whateveritis on the grease fire, be careful not to let the fire splash onto something else.

Various levels of food poisoning produce different symptoms, but making constant offerings to a porcine god is not a good sign. Try WebMD.Com for exact list.

Answer 4

Had the same questions when i was in cooking class. Don't put anything on the fire, even water, cause hot grease will fly up and burn you! Grab a pot lid, and approach the pot at level with it. Be sure to wear oven mits, and slowly slide the lid over the pot, so the flame extinguishes do to lack of oxygen. When you put the lid over it, then turn off the burner. Symptoms of food poisoning are nausea, diarehea, stomach cramps,chills, and fever! ~Good luck on your homework!~

Answer 5

Symptoms of Food poisoning

The symptoms from the most common types of food poisoning generally start within 2 to 6 hours of eating the food responsible. That time may be longer (even a number of days) or shorter, depending on the toxin or organism responsible for the food poisoning. The possible symptoms include:

Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal cramps
Diarrhea (may be bloody)
Fever and chills
Weakness (may be serious and lead to respiratory arrest, as in the case of botulism)
Headache
Botulism is a very serious form of food poisoning that can be fatal. It can come from improper home canning

Answer 6

If fat or grease in a pan starts burning, quickly slide a lid over the pan to cover it completely and cut off the oxygen supply. Turn off the heat.

For small grease fires, throw baking soda over the flames or use a Class B fire extinguisher.

_________________________________________

Symptoms typically begin several hours after ingestion and depending on the agent involved, can include one or more of the following: nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headache or tiredness. In most cases the body is able to permanently recover after a short period of acute discomfort and illness. However, foodborne illness can result in permanent health problems or even death, especially in babies, pregnant women (and their fetuses), elderly people, sick people and others with weak immune systems. Similarly, people with liver disease are especially susceptible to infections from Vibrio vulnificus, which can be found in oysters.

Answer 7

to put out a grease fire dont put ANYTHING on it ANd DO NOT BLOW ON IT, The best way is to just take a skillet lid and place it over the pan...so that your hand dont get burned make sure you go over the pan with the lid kindof slanted so you dont get burned and place it on there it should go out on its own! Food poisoning.. I am not sure but most basics are upset stomach diarea gas, nausea and vomiting

Answer 8

DO NOT PUT WATER ON A GREASE FIRE!!!

thats step number one.

immediately (if you can get near the stove) turn everything off that might be making it hotter.

only specific fire extinguishers can put out grease fires. to be honest, the extinguisher i have in my kitchen isn't recommended to put out grease fires. they are marked what they're recommended for.

always have baking soda on hand in your kitchen, (and allot of it) and just douse the fire with it. its the easiest way if you dont have a recommended extinguisher.

the lid thing works too, but i dont have lids for all my pans.

Answer 9

Turn off cooker
Place a wet towel or similar directly over it. and remove to safety outside.
Symptoms of food poisoning vary.
Severe abdominal cramps,Severe headache,Gastroenteritis and Nausea are but a few

Answer 10

you cover the pan with top or a fire extinguisher
