I embarrassingly started my first grease fire this weekend.
In my defense I never had used this stove and when I added oil to the pan it was a lot hotter than I was expecting. This was a very hot 5 setting.
I did what you’re supposed to do and just smothered it, though I puckered a little when I couldn’t find the lid at first glance and had to grab a pie tin.
I usually have my hobs on 6 for a long enough time to boil a large pan of water, then put the wok on there, give it a while to get a bit heated up and then drop oil on it.
I’ve never managed to set fire to oil while cooking.
What sort of oil were you using? I mostly use rapeseed.

Vegetable. Hit the pan and flames.
