cooking oils light on fire if you leave them in a heated pan for a while

ask me how i know... :owned:

nooooo waaaay! how?

Oil burns when heated? :bsflag:

Pics plz.

Sounds like somebody forgot all the lectures the fire department gave you in elementery school :nono:

no pics. just alot of smoke.

no biggie. caught a flame, turned the pan upside down and let it burn out in the sink.

still pretty silly. simple shit can get j00 in trouble! could've been worse.

In the news while back, a wife poured two pans of it on a her sleeping hubby...she keeled em. So basically, you had a half loaded gun in your house. for shame

turned the pan upside down and let it burn out in the sink.
Tard. Use baking soda to extinguish it.

Or put a lid on the pan and it'll run out of oxygen.

Fire needs 3 things to burn: Heat, Fuel, and Oxygen. Remove any one of those and there's no more fire.

That is why rocket propellant has something called "solidox" in it. That enables the rockets to burn outside Earth's atmosphere. And that's also why it's very dangerous, since it becomes nearly impossible to extinguish once ignited.

we are asian. we don't have baking soda.

turning the pan upside down and laying it face down in the (dry) sink was my method of suffocating the flame.

I remember burning the living shit out of a corn dog one day. It was a similar situation. Lots of thick smoke from the grease burning, had to air out my apartment for 2 days to get my eyes to stop burning. No fire, but the smoke was rediculously thick.

So from now on, i'll never put an ice cold corn dog in 400 degree grease.

Hey! speak for yourself! i have baking soda, but its 3 years old :(

ewww! scummy ass asian people!

better to have too much then too little when it comes to lubrication.

Doesn't matter what your talking about.

oil burns since when?

i own an FC i know oil burns



sorry sarcasm doesnt go well over the internet sometimes

the collective intelligence displayed on this thread could power a light bulb...maybe

i'm going to be a lawyer!!! :alcohol:

seriously though, i didn't think the pan was hot enough to light the oil on fire. very surprising. usually i put oil in the pan, medium heat from the stove, let it get alittle hot, and then throw on meat or whatever.

i did the usual and the pan lit up. still dunno why. oh well. got a new pan.

you cook meat in oil?

man, they invented non-stick cooking surfaces a longass time ago, just throw it in there!

or better yet, use your bbq.

we're asian. we cook everything in oil.

seriously though, for korean bbq style bulgolgi you are supposed to use oil.

and the non stick surface pans are no good. the chemical overlay that causes it to 'non-stick' breaks down and gets into the food. not good to have a non-stick body.

i would bbq, but i live on the 17th floor. i think the building probably has rules against that... lol

anyway you will all be pleased to learn that since buying a new wok, the fire incident has not repeated itself. i'm starting to think the old pan had some residual grime on it or something.

just use flower to put it out it works good
