The best method is using the jacket

Explanation:

The A-B-C extinguisher is made out by a potasyum acetate that react to vegretables oils and that tyoy of extinguisher ar recommended by industrial kitchens and restaurants.

On the other way using a jacket is better because fire need oxygen to keep in combustion. And if we apply a big area of something that confined the fire and keep the oxygen out is better than use a A-B-C extinguisher.
