How can I effectively put out a grease fire on the stove?

To effectively put out a grease fire on the stove, follow these steps: Turn off the heat source, cover the fire with a metal lid or baking sheet, or use a fire extinguisher labeled for grease fires. Do not use water, as it can cause the fire to spread. If the fire is small and manageable, you can also smother it with baking soda or salt.
