Fire Extinguishers!

You put a red label on them stating their purpose and how to use them, then
fill them with baking soda. For kitchen fires, you just throw a handful of
the soda at a burning pan and the fire goes out. (If you use water, you will
splash burning grease all over the kitchen, and make the fire worse.)

One of my children came home with one of these years ago. Of course we put
it in the kitchen, as much to save hurt feelings as anything; we didn't need
a fire extinguisher. At least that's what I thought, until one day when I
had started to heat some oil just as the telephone rang. When I got back to
the kitchen I had a frying pan of burning oil making a dreadful smoky mess of
the place. One quick handful of soda left me with a lot of soot to wash off,
but the only real damage was some melted knobs on the stove.
