Thinking this over, imagine a scenario of a hot pan of grease on fire and you throw the vase with the solution and it hits off-center or something
less than ideal. Seems like a potential to make things worse. XeonTheMGPony - 4-3-2019 at 17:41

As some one in the field, Potassium Carbonate is used in Kitchen suppression systems and Class K portables all so used as antifreeze in Portable
pressurized water extinguishers. Some times Potassium Citrate/ Acetate is used as well
It saponifies the oil surface creating a soap layer as the water evaporates and cools the oil fire.

Where I come from, anything that is designated as a "Fire Extinguisher" has to conform to all kinds of regulations -- including certain labelling
requirements (ie, ugly).
There are plenty of things you could use for putting out a fire. But there are a smaller set of objects that can legally be sold as fire
extinguishers. This aint one of them.Herr Haber - 5-3-2019 at 04:57
Thanks a lot for all your answers: I learned something so that's a good day.
I thought they said carbonate instead of bicarbonate. At least that now makes sense.
