Extinguish grease fires

Keep a box of salt near your stove and oven, and if a grease fire flares up, douse the flames with salt (never use water on grease fires; it will splatter the burning grease). When salt is applied to fire, it acts like a heat sink and dissipates the heat from the fire. It also forms an oxygen-excluding crust to smother the fire.
