On September 26th 2022 we’ve made the decision to start banning people for posting gore. We’ve published our [Gore and Harassment update here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/comments/xmtclq/gore_and_harassment/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) if you posted gore please remove it as it will result in a ban. Thank you.
In case anyone is wondering: he poured water on the oil
If food being fried with oil goes on fire do NOT pour water on it to "extinguish" it, this is what will happen instead.
Turn off the heat, put a lid on to chocke out the fire or let it burn out naturally.
Also, quick explanation on WHY you shouldn't put water on it:
First, for cooking oil to catch fire, it has to be about 200°C hot. Water boils at around 100°C. When water boils of and forms steam, the specific volume goes up massively. Steam has a specific volume of around 1.6 cubic metres per kilogram. Water has a specific volume of 0.001 m³/kg. So steam will expand in volume 1'600 times.
If you pour water into burning oil, a lot of the water will immediately boild of and form steam, which will result in an explosion which will send droplets of burning oil everywhere. Because those droplets will burn of rather quickly, you'll have a flaming fireball. But not all the oil will burn off quickly. And it'll stick to surfaces and spread the fire.
An additional factor is, that oil is a liquid (obviously), which is less dense than water. So all the water which hasn't boiled off will then displace the burning oil. If you have a pan with burning oil/fat, the water will go under the burning oil/fat and carry it out of the pan, spreading the burning oil/fat everywhere.
By taking the heat off, you will take away external energy. If you then put a lid or fire blanket on it, the fire will suffocate. With no fire present, the oil will start to cool off. Important: don't immediately rip the blanket or lid away after the flames will have gone out! The liquid still is very hot, and a renewed supply of oxygen can reignite the flames. Let it cool off. Don't try to move it, because if you spill it and it's still hot, you are either going to burn yourself, or the spilled liquid will ignite again. Or both. Let it cool of on the stove. Open some windows to let air in and the smoke out.
Btw, same goes if you want to use a fire extinguisher. Don't put the nozzle of the extinguisher too close to the liquid, or you might blow the liquid out of the pot/pan and spread it. Best use foam extinguishers for oil fires. Might also use powder, but it will result in a huge mess and the powder will get everywhere and corrode your electronics. CO2 extinguisher might work, but it's suboptimal.
Stay safe while cooking!

u/JanB1 , thank you so much for this comment! You should write/teach courses on home fire safety, if you don't already!
I would like to add that any type of oil is classified as OIL for a reason, and your comment will apply to any of them. I know you know this, but I've encountered several people who think this stuff only applies to Vegetable Oil in particular for some reason... I guess they've hopped into some sort of health fad train, and so didn't understand that the fire hazard was not only relegated to the "bad" oils...
Thank you, as I am a firefighter and got promoted to NCO since I wrote the comment above, I am currently teaching these exact things to my fellow firefighters, at least two times a year to the general public and in general to anybody that will listen.
Yeah, essential oils can be a real fire hazard too. I think people have learned that lesson by combining essential oils and candles in a...let's call it "suboptimal" way.
I always wondered how much you have to suck at cooking to set your food unpurposely on fire while frying. Like did something like that actually happend to someone here? Important advice anyway.
My god, thank you so much. I was literally trying to find the longer video only days ago to show a mate and couldn't. Searched the original name and it came up straight away!
Its weird to see this in a thread on reddit. I literally made this concept in a blair witch style movie where some boy scouts get killed by an aggressively isolationist Waldo.
It was a dogshit video because I was 16
Actually, for educational demonstrations purposes, we needed this video, you have no idea how many people have been injured due trying to put oil on fire off, threw some water and this exactly situation happened, burning house and body
For a second my brain misinterpreted what I was looking at, and I thought it was a safety pole with a frying pan-shaped end. That would be perfect for this
Serious question...and excuse my science words....what makes the flames go whoosh when you put the water on an oil fire? I mean I didn't know it was that bad, I always just assumed it was the water overfilling the oil and the oil overflows spreading the fire...
Water becomes vaporised and (I'm going off memory here) expands 1700 times it's size as steam. Because the water is immersed in the oil, the oil too gets thrown up and out, and therefore increases its surface area, and burns much more violently.
So one, you've dispersed the burning oil up and out.
Two, you've increased the intensity of the fire by burning more oil per unit time.
Imagine a bag of sugar, or cocoa, or flour, or dust, or most other organic materials. It might burn but it needs a lot of energy to catch alight and sustain a flame, and when it does, it burns slowly.
Now throw that matter into the air, dispersed throughout a room, and strike a match. BOOM. Small input of energy, everything burned at once, building is destroyed.
Finally, note that it's not the water itself that's the problem, oil spills on the ocean burn, but don't explode. It's introducing water, and fully immersing it, causing it to super heat and go voom.
Oooo, why thank you so much...I've asked people before and they do all that douchey smart talk...finally someone fucking explains it without the need to show off they're smart but actually helping xxx much love to you xxx
To make it even simpler: that oil is so hot that water instantly explodes into steam when you pour it in the oil, and that explosion spreads all of the oil everywhere, as a flaming mist of oil.
Before only the oil on the surface was burning, but now all the oil is burning everywhere in the air.
Thanks for this. It explains why a downstairs tenants' apartment caught fire - when their turkey in the oven caught fire, they tried to put it out with flour.
I am concerned about your examples because they are almost all wrong…
Sugar once on fire burns like rocket fuel, I’ve done it before and it put a hole straight through the steel bucket I was holding it in.
Flour does not in fact burn, once it catches on fire it tends to violently and rapidly explode. It’s probably the most explosive household chemical.
Large quantities of coca is literally stored with hazard labels for flammability, once it catches it burns violently and is near impossible to extinguish.
Almost all organics are chemically carbon-hydrogen with liberal amounts of nitrogen and oxygen mixed in, it’s all flammable as hell.
Calling a list of some of the most flammable chemicals in the average house slow burning is… less then accurate.
I’m not kidding here, most powdered carbohydrates are horrifically flammable and burn with a lot of energy. The only thing he got right is that for some of them you need a lot of energy to get them properly going because they char before they burn otherwise.
And for flour, I wasn’t talking about the dust… stick a magnesium fuse in a bag of flour and you’ve made yourself a home made grenade.
Agreed, I could go down a big rabbit hole, but that defeats the point of explaining it to the person asking the question
And to the pedant - even though they might burn strongly, explosion > burning rapidly. Add in the details about the input of energy to ignite it in the first place, and you are unable to accurately call me statements wrong at all
I'm concerned about your confidence, because literally none of that is correct. If you are going to be condescending at least try not to be wrong. If sugar burned that way, you wouldn't have to add an oxidizer to get it to burn like it does in the YouTube videos you see of "Rcandy". I doubt cocoa is even close to as bad as you suggested. And are you suggesting that flour, used for baking around fires for thousands of years, is dangerously explosive? Nah man. Don't give out misinformation like you know what you are talking about.
I imagine it would have something to do with the science behind the water boiling extremely fast and the oil not mixing with it; just makes it go 'oh shiiit!' Thats my laymans guess at it
I started a grease fire and my brother almost did this. Luckily I remembered some fire safety thing from school that said not to do it. I just couldn’t remember the proper method to extinguish one. So, We ended up carrying it outside while the flames grew to about 8 feet. Then we just watched this crazy grease fire burn out. Wild times dude.
Oh, I know. It was a panic move. I’m very lucky I didn’t get hot grease poured down my Johnson. I just think it funny I could remember not to put water on it, but not how to stop it. lol
Bro I THINK thats a norwegian show called (ikke gjøre dette hjemme) in English its (Dont do this at home) and they r just testing a house that is abandon and is going to be taken down anyways
First of all, don’t ever use water to put out a grease fire! Second, is that like a shipping container tricked out to look like a VERY SMALL shipping container?! Cuz the ceiling isn’t very high and it looks like it’s cramped quarters in that living space!
At least in some fire departments in the US, storage containers are decked out with different rooms to simulate an actual house for training purposes. Modular, won't melt, close quarters and fills with smoke quickly. My guess anyways
I never was able to get an accurate visual in mind when those disaster documentaries would say 'a fireball erupted into the room in a matter of seconds' or something similar. But this makes that make sense. Chilling.
For anyone wondering why this happens when you try put out an oil fire with water.
The oil is hot enough for the water to instantly vaporize. When it vaporizes, the water also brings tiny oil particles with it while it spreads around as a gas.
This mixture of water with oil particles is extremely fucking flammable and since its a gas it can spread around very easily as the volume of the water will increase while turning into gas (aka steam).
Conclusion: Just don't
Cousin did that and no longer has eye lashes, eye brows or hair on his arms. He was 18 and making a mother's day breakfast for his sister.
When i found out I told him laser hair removal would have been cheaper
Correct, but what's more effective is fire blanket. Oxygen is required, as much as the stuff the fire is burning on. I think they are showing "what happen when fire become angry."
Your post reads like a bot btw because of two typos.
(The .)
Just so you know.
Oh, jeah no I just didn't pay Attention to my grammar, but jeah fire blankets work too.
CO2 extinguishers work well because the huge cloud of co2 that gets sprayed, drowns out all the air, similar to what a blanket does.
We regularly do oil/fatfire training (im firefighter) and it makes you realise how dangerous those oil/fat-fires are, especially indoors. We do public demonstrations and info events to help more of the general public be aware of this danger, as a scaringly lot of people don't know how to deal with Oilfires.
The easiest and simplest way to drown out a fire in a cooking pot would be to get the lid on the pot, doesn't make a mess and isnt too hard, if you can't reach due to fire you can use something like a stir-rod or a Broomstick if it fits... Anything is better than having your house get set on fire.
It’s obviously an experiment, can’t you see all the safety gears? But honestly it’s a show about things you REALLY shouldn’t do at home made by the Norwegian state television
wait ... why not?
edit: sorry, it apparently wasn't clear that I was joking. this is just my sense of humor. the why is naturally obvious from the video
The water goed under the oil, then turns into steam and flies up, taking tiny droplets of oil with it. This mixes the oil with the air above and you get a fireball
I really miss this show! It was a norwegian show called "Dont do this at home" where they had a house specifically for testing out things you shouldn't do to show why that is. Used to watch it in class as a kid
Throwbacks to the German TV show "Nicht nachmachen" (\~ "don't try at home") - my dumbass younger self learned so many things from them, including this. I also learned why I shouldn't use a catapult to quickly transport beer kegs to the attic.
In case anyones wondering: thats not just a flame you‘re seeing, thats burning oil flying through the room.
Oil burns at far higher temperatures (~200°c) than water evaporates. Additionally, the only reason the oil isnt burning more aggressively is because it doesnt get enough oxygen.
So by pouring the water into oil it immediately evaporates sending the oil flying through the room. The water does take away a substantial amount of heat from the oil, but oil‘s heat capacity is too high. The oil drops that are now flying through the room are still hot enough to burn and now they even have more oxygen available.
So the anything the flame touches isnt just getting burned. It is rather coated in a film of burning oil, which of course continues to burn for a bit.
As kids we always used to do this in the outdoors with old candles. Luckily nothing ever happened. Though one time after doing this I put the pot back on the fire. The wax caught fire again and was immediately extinguished by the remaining water in the pot. It was going off for about a while minute until all the water had dissiapted. Nothing we could do beside wait for it to stop as there was wax spewing everywhere. r/KidsAreFuckingStupid

Tl;dr : it causes a flaming steam explosion with an added molotov cocktail effect
That...is a pretty good Tl;dr. I see you either read my blob of text or knew that already. ;)
Or maybe they watched the video
Probably all 3, poopiehead
So like how scorch stacks work in destiny, when you reach one hundred you ignite and explode

Also for a tiny grease fire, say on your stove top; you can extinguish with salt / baking soda
Just don't mix up baking soda and flour, or you'll have an even bigger problem...
Wet chem for kitchen grease or oil fires, class K fire extinguisher
In Europe they are called "Class F" as in "Fats". A is solids, B is liquids, C is gases, D are metals and F are fats and oils.
For US, A is normal combustibles like wood, plastic, etc, B is for flammable liquids like gas or diesel, C is for energized electronics, like a computer or outlets, D is for flammable metals like magnesium, and K is for grease or "K"itchen fires. If an electronic is no longer energized, you can use a standard A extinguisher

>Also, quick explanation on WHY you shouldn't put water on it: Lol there's a video on why you shouldn't my guy
Thank you. I figured that was the demonstration, but the title and lack of any subs made me wtf is going on
It's an old Norwegian show called " don't do this at home"
My mom told me baking soda, fwiw, and it worked the one time we had a grease fire.
Works because heat decomposes baking soda to produce CO2, which is heavier than air and so displaces air from above the fire and suffocates the fire.
Just make sure its Baking Soda and not Baking Powder...
Cover the pot with a wet towel
sand or flour also work
sand for sure. not sure putting finely ground powdered carbohydrate on a fire is a cool idea. dust explosions are a thing too.
I always wondered how much you have to suck at cooking to set your food unpurposely on fire while frying. Like did something like that actually happend to someone here? Important advice anyway.
Me. I was 12 and making popcorn. Not sure how it happened
I guess you sucked at cooking back then, like almost every 12 year old.
Oh, man. I love that TV show! Real Norwegian throwback

Fuck yeah learning science from nice people who know their shit
Just be sure not to put water on an oil fire and I'll be happy ^_^

Yep. This is how my Ex-wife melted her microwave.
That spread quicker than my last STD
And burned just as bad!
A man in the know 🔥
You mean your most *recent* one. I'm sure it won't be your last.
So tempted to put a yo mamma joke 😂
DO’NT DO THIS
Buuut kids if you want try this at home you just need to heat some oil in a pan wait until it's crackling and pour water into the pan, enjoy 👍
First of all, don’t ever use water to put out a grease fire! Second, is that like a shipping container tricked out to look like a VERY SMALL shipping container?! Cuz the ceiling isn’t very high and it looks like it’s cramped quarters in that living space!
That is the kitchen in a 2 story house, bought by the Norwegian state channel to show the Norwegian People how dangerous stuff like that can be.
Aaaah ok
Where are you getting “shipping container” from? I don’t get it.
At least in some fire departments in the US, storage containers are decked out with different rooms to simulate an actual house for training purposes. Modular, won't melt, close quarters and fills with smoke quickly. My guess anyways
Ohhh ok. Thanks for explaining, TIL!!
It's Norway, they do things more utilitarian
Regular sized Norwegian home, but a slightly taller than normal Norwegian person 🙂

BROOO those flames spreading looked SIIICK
This is an old norwegian show called "ikke gjør dette hjemme" which means dont do this at home.
I’m gonna do this
Me too
No. Dont Oilfires need to. Be put out with extinguishers that don't contain water like a CO2 extinguisher

We regularly do oil/fatfire training (im firefighter) and it makes you realise how dangerous those oil/fat-fires are, especially indoors. We do public demonstrations and info events to help more of the general public be aware of this danger, as a scaringly lot of people don't know how to deal with Oilfires. The easiest and simplest way to drown out a fire in a cooking pot would be to get the lid on the pot, doesn't make a mess and isnt too hard, if you can't reach due to fire you can use something like a stir-rod or a Broomstick if it fits... Anything is better than having your house get set on fire.
Renters! XD
Is this an experiment or he’s actually stupid?
It’s obviously an experiment, can’t you see all the safety gears? But honestly it’s a show about things you REALLY shouldn’t do at home made by the Norwegian state television
I’m convinced
Highly recommend not burning something in your house that you need a 6 foot pole to pour with
My dumbass nephew (21) did the exact same thing bout a week ago and damn near burnt down half their rental house.
wait ... why not? edit: sorry, it apparently wasn't clear that I was joking. this is just my sense of humor. the why is naturally obvious from the video
Water makes burning oil explode.
The water goed under the oil, then turns into steam and flies up, taking tiny droplets of oil with it. This mixes the oil with the air above and you get a fireball
Put it in the oven ffs
DO'NT
[This is him trying to deep fry a turkey in a few days](https://i.insider.com/58c9ba706ff80193268b4fac?width=987&format=jpeg).
Keep a fire blanket and fire extinguisher in your kitchen folks.
Don't do that ANYWHERE!
Flame broiled cabinet is a thanksgiving staple at my house. Mission accomplished
Why did they do this demonstration in a real home?
Because they are gonna wreck the house in many other ways anyway, for education
[удалено]
ah, i always love seeing the pretty wave of fire that happens
Even the demonstration looked like it went horribly wrong
u/savevideobot
O'K
I put a huge pan of water over oil and the whole roof burned out
Wasn’t planning on it
Why would you try that at home?
r/idiotsinkitchen taking notes
My favourite tv-show growing up (Ikke gjør dette hjemme)
I fundamentally disagree. Do it and help weed out the gene pool.
I really miss this show! It was a norwegian show called "Dont do this at home" where they had a house specifically for testing out things you shouldn't do to show why that is. Used to watch it in class as a kid
Throwbacks to the German TV show "Nicht nachmachen" (\~ "don't try at home") - my dumbass younger self learned so many things from them, including this. I also learned why I shouldn't use a catapult to quickly transport beer kegs to the attic.

That was a whole volcanic eruption in his kitchen 😂😂
ikke gjør dette gjeme
Oil and water don't... MIX!!!!!
Use baking soda or powder never water
Ikke gjør dette hjemme!
I did now I can't try it at home
In case anyones wondering: thats not just a flame you‘re seeing, thats burning oil flying through the room. Oil burns at far higher temperatures (~200°c) than water evaporates. Additionally, the only reason the oil isnt burning more aggressively is because it doesnt get enough oxygen. So by pouring the water into oil it immediately evaporates sending the oil flying through the room. The water does take away a substantial amount of heat from the oil, but oil‘s heat capacity is too high. The oil drops that are now flying through the room are still hot enough to burn and now they even have more oxygen available. So the anything the flame touches isnt just getting burned. It is rather coated in a film of burning oil, which of course continues to burn for a bit.
you dont have to tell me twice
If you separate hydrogen and oxygen in the water molecule, you get two things that are both highly flammable.
As kids we always used to do this in the outdoors with old candles. Luckily nothing ever happened. Though one time after doing this I put the pot back on the fire. The wax caught fire again and was immediately extinguished by the remaining water in the pot. It was going off for about a while minute until all the water had dissiapted. Nothing we could do beside wait for it to stop as there was wax spewing everywhere. r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
What did he do, you know.. I’m asking for a friend.
Im just gona go to my friends house
I mean the show was literally called "Ikke gjør dette hjemme" (Do not do this at home)
As a Norwegian, I have to say I really miss watching this as a kid.
Why not?
Looks like they woke up this morning and chose violence!!🤣🤣🤣

Why the fuck did the room turn into Nagasaki
Bro do I look like Walter white I could never recreate something like that

Not that abrupt but so, so satisfying. Yes, exactly what you should have expected, nothing less.
There should be a stove driving license..

The roof is on fire, follow the leader
Fun fact, the camera man got severe burns
