I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from the hot sauce in the air, me included. We had to open all the windows, dig out the fans to get it out of the house, freezing everyone in the process.

    You can also smother a grease fire by dumping baking soda on it. Do not dump flour on it, flour is flammable.

    From personal experience, salt also works. I keep a big box of salt with a big spout on my counter for more that just brining briskets.
