Unlike other fire extinguishers, the Fire Flower from Japantrendshop “looks just like a decorative silk flower, but can be used to put out oil and grease fires with ease.” Available now, priced at $37. Video after the break.

To use the Fire Flowers, just keep them attached to a nearby surface using the included magnets. In the case of an oil/grease fire, simply place the flowers into the pan and they will instantly take over, covering the oil with a film that stops the burning.
