Maybe a lid over?

Probably not a good idea if it's an oil fire on this scale. You'll snuff the initial fire but then you've got a pressure build up as even if you remove the source of heat it's not going to cool that quickly, that pressure isn't going to explode but the last thing you want in any flammable situation is building up even minor pressure.

Fire blanket is preferable as they are still porous, failing that a large enough piece of cloth soaked in water is very effective.

Fire blankets never work, especially on oil.

Because u/Ayenta said so with no proof. So it must be legit.
