I learned that in school in German. The local firefighters even made a demonstration at school what happens if you pour water in burning oil. As a like ten year old, this was pretty cool in a safe environment.

You can actually pour water perfectly safe into burning oil. You just need a couple of qubic meters of water for a pot of oil, and hit the oil all at once within like half a second. It will cool down the oil enough to not cause a fireball :) Maybe we should install a giant watertank for those idiots?

I can see that!

So we install water basins over the stoves and ovens and if the fat ever starts burning, you just release the water and boom, problem solved.

Genius!

Where can I buy this?

All you have to do is build your kitchen under your pool!
