Mythbusting- Monday- 3rd period
The Danger Shop had the workshop up today, but Kitty was standing in front of what looked like a kitchen with several stoves, minus a ceiling. In fact, if the students looked up, it would just look like sky up there.
"This is one you're absolutely not to try at home or in the dorms," Kitty greeted them. "Cooking! You've possibly had to do it by now and hopefully you know a little something about fire safety. Like how you're told not to put water on a grease fire. The myth goes that if you do that, you'll get a fireball thirty feet high. If you do get a grease fire, you need to pour baking soda or salt on it to extinguish it. Don't bring it outside. But for this class and this class only, you're going to see what happens when you do pour water on it.
She turned on one stove with a pan on the burner, coated in oil. "This is your regular run of the mill canola oil. You'll get to choose what kind of oil or grease you use. You'll also get a Double Big Gulp full of water, which is 50 ounces, and you'll throw that on the fire and see what happens from a distance. Again, this is safe only here, you will not get hurt, but you also might not want to see it up close. Then we're going to put them out, and if you want to try it again with a different kind of oil or amount of water, you'll get the chance. And after that, we have a challenge to last week's myth."
