You got that available

Reporter: Hi. Today we're here with Captain Paul Lesley

of the fire department and he's going to give us a few

tips about fire prevention around a stove.


Captain: When you're cooking with oil, so you want to

make sure you got a lid that fits your pot securely.

You got that available. The reason for that is that if

the pot catches fire, you could slide that slowly over

the pot and extinguish the fire.

What does "You got that available" mean?


Thank you

That looks like a transcript of informal speech. " The captain is paying little attention to his grammar. " He means that you want to have the lid close by.

"When you're cooking with oil, so you want to make sure you got a lid that fits your pot securely—you got that available."

The captain is paying
