                                According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), fires involving cooking equipment are a leading cause of home fires, and understanding that cooking oil falls under a special fire class is critical for safety. But fire safety is not the only classification; understanding which class is cooking oil also requires knowledge of its chemical and nutritional makeup.
