Survival Tips 101

In preparation for the upcoming turkey feast, I felt the following information might come in very handy.

How to Extinguish A Burning Turkey

1) Close the oven and broiler doors. Turn off the oven.

2) Open nearby windows. Smoke will pour out the oven vent. If possible, close the doors to the kitchen to contain the smoke.

3) Wait five minutes. Ovens are designed for high heat and should contain the fire without a problem. Keep the doors closed to avoid adding oxygen to the fire.

4) Open the oven door slightly. After five minutes, the turkey fire should have burned itself out. If it is still burning, close the door immediately and wait several minutes before opening the door again. If the fire continues to burn for more than ten minutes, call the fire department (and then go out to eat).

Happy Cooking!
