Chip Pan Fires - How can they be avoided?

Maybe if chip shops gave free chips to drunken people a lot of these fires could be avoided.

maybe if Hob Based Chip pans were banned alot of these fires could be avoided

True but I'd prefer Graham's solution.

Free chips. mmmmmm

Buy oven chips, no chip pan required !!!!!!

Man burned by chip pan - A MAN suffered horrific burns after he dropped a burning chip pan and spiltover his chest, legs, back and groin.

The 46-year-old, from Edenthorpe Grove, Owlthorpe, Sheffield, discovered the pan alight at 3.40amand was attempting to take it outside when the accident happened.

He dropped the pan after slipping on the floor.

He is thought to have suffered 60 per cent burns.

His 38-year-old wife was also taken to hospital after slipping down the stairs and twisting her ankle in the panic.

ouch the groin, gotta hurt

Deep fried chips & fries are the bomb, so much nicer than the dry ones you get form oven cooking.

It's faster, cheaper and nicer, go for it.

how awful.

this just backs up, really, what I was saying, a couple of months ago, in this thread:-

I am surprised chip pans are still used! those handles sticking out ! awful, electric non stick are so much safer and cleaner to use, and they don't cost that much either.

surely some manufacturer will be able to come up with a safer version/alternative to chip pans by now?
