A proper class F extinguisher has a short lance (to keep your hand
out of the fire) and a very slow discharge rate so you don't blow the
oil out of the pan.

So using a standard AFFF extinguisher sans lance, how do you stop it
splashing the pan? I would have thought that it would require considerable
skill. The AFFF types I've used seemed to have a very rapid discharge rate
that I would be loath to use on a chip pan.

That's where the fire blanket come in very handy, eh? :-)
