Taking the pan off the heat is usually sufficient. Depending on what was in the pan, dumping it all in the sink would probably have done well enough - especially if you can hit it with water from the faucet. Because the fire is just in the pan, taking it and running outside with it works.

There were so many ways to solve the problem - even if they weren't optimal - that she should've been able to think of at least *one*.
