    Hi , chef here - grease fires are the #1 reason for property damage and loss of life , nearly all major accidents in kitchens involves burning grease or oil - its very very very dangerous to do anything but choke the fire, so you would want to keep a lid around big enough to cover the entire pot/pan , and leave it until the entire thing is cold - as we saw with the lard fire that it keeps coming back if its hot enough so let i suffocate and then when its cold its safe .

They neglected to removed the frozen gizzards etc. That oil was not on fire and the damage was done to a roof and porch one story up. I stopped attending that group's parties because the made the same mistake on purpose the next season. They tried to deep fry frozen chicken wings en masse, the still scorched wall left for the next ball of fire fun.

    Soup Can Fireball was terrifying because you can see the can shoot off at the same speed. It shot up about 30ft in 9 Frames, on the Slow-mo. So in about 1/3 of a second of slow-mo footage, the can was shot 30 ft into the air, and rising. I don't know the exact framerate of the slow-mo, so I can't do the exact math, but that's... terrifying regardless

    They poured water from too high a height. Before all the water had time to pour into the oil, an explosion occurred and the rest of the water was pushed away from the burning oil. The pot of water was much higher above the oil than if the pot had been held by a person trying to put out the burning oil.

It comes in a gray, felt-like wheel and has a bone-white interior. This cheese has a very smooth texture and a tangy, and somewhat, grassy flavor laced with hints of hazelnuts.

    First things first, many comments claim that the fireball would reach 30ft if there was no wind, this is not a correct statement as the wind didn't remove momentum from the system but rather added sideways momentum. Second, the likely culprit is actual must likely the fact that the water was heated by being placed above boiling oil, with the water at a higher temperature it didn't have time to enter the oil properly and must likely turned into steam far quicker and therefore closer to the surface than a normal situation

    As well as wind being a big factor, the water must of been pretty hot before they dunked it; I expect normally people will grab water from a tap. It would be room temperature at best, and probably alot colder. I might be wrong but I think colder water will get more of a chance to sink through the oil before it explosively vaporises, and the extra pressure will have a greater effect, hot water is more likely to flash on the surface. That's my hunch anyway.

    That would have been another interesting experiment. I don't expect that it would have made that much difference though, given how rapidly the water turns to steam upon contact with the oil, and the relatively minor (compared to water vs oil) temperature differential between tap water and water at room temperature.

    I don’t think there is one. The water is causing a steam explosion and aerosolising the burning oil. Since the oil is at auto-ignition temperature it ignites as soon as it has access to air, and when it’s turned into millions of droplets that happens practically instantly. You’d have to somehow remove enough heat from the oil to drop it below auto-ignition temperature, and I don’t think that’s possible, there are limits to how quickly thermal energy can be moved from one substance to another.

    I don't know where everyone had their eyes, but in the first grease fire test (canola) part of the fire ball was at 30ft - even with the quite strong winds they had. Without the winds, it surely would've gone higher. So call it "confirmed"!!! That doesn't destroy the show: Y'all know most of us are just waiting for the bigger booms, and take whatever results you get at the end to learn.

There it is more clear, as someone explained: "if you are on the stage or in front of the camera, you are on the show". So to apply this to Mythbusters I guess myths are part of the show, so they are "on". However seems to me that saying "in the show" is not really a mistake as narrator talks about things that are part of it (the show contains them, so they are in). I guess it is one of the things that you need to kind of feel. It's like you intuitively know which thing sits on the table and which stands (as an example from my mother tongue), even though there's no clear logic.
