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 .

Yep. Kitchens can be dangerous when you don't know the rules. Need to clean old grease. And please don't walk away with anything still on! I almost burned down our kitchen a long time ago when I walked away and forgot the stove was still on.
The full-size test had a definite wind issue. I think it would have reached 30ft in dead calm conditions.

They could possibly also have reached a greater height if they had used a taller pan/pot, so the sides would funnel the fire/explosion upwards at the start, rather than the flat pan where it can go outwards instead.

@@netheshramroop3281 I think the 30 foot comes from outdoor "kitchens", where people fry seafood or make fries. Throwing frozen food in hot oil is a disaster in the making and since many people are clueless, it happens a lot.

Find yourself someone that looks at you the same way that Grant looks at that bomb robot 😅
Jamie: "You didn't" Adam: "I did" 😅😅😅
22:18 you can tell even the bomb squad guys were a little surprised it worked.
Now what about putting out burning water with room temperature oil? No wait... 🤔
Of course, one of the only times I've ever seen Jamie without a hat, he is using his head to light a match.
Sorry to say the 1st test would of hit 30feet if not for the wind 😅
well the wind blows all the fireballs to the right? so in non-wind environment 30ft could be reached easily I think..

That soup can fireball might actually be one of the best on the show O_o
A group of men with a small private yard in the middle of Wilmington DE decided to deep fry a turkey. I arrived after the fire department left. 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.

I feel like the reason someone would think to shoot cheese wheels from a cannon is because the cheese wheels matched the diameter of the cannon. I know the show stopped, but I wish they got wheels that matched the diameter with the wax wrap still on.
Love the way Jamie says lard 15:25
Nice use of Flight of the Valkyrie, during Apocalypse Kitchen!
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
I love Adam's joke at 1:59 and Jamie's reaction to it. Is there something wrong with me?

Fantastic video. Maximum effort was clearly put into this. ❤
Señor. Me has mirado a los ojos... Keep uploading these please ❤
This one made me super uncomfortable because I have scars head to toe from a grease fire. Please people, don't ever put water on a grease fire! Either put a lid on the pan, or use a fire blanket to smother the flames!

The grease fire "experiment" is soooo flawed, in a home you dont have wind to push the flames to the side, therefore with that information the fireballs can exceed 30 feet if the wind wasnt pushing it away from a straight line up

They should've tested one more variation. - Heat 2 quarts oil until it burns - Pour 1 quart water to create the FIRST fireball - Pour 2 kilos of flour into the first fireball to create the SECOND fireball

6:04 Gav, is that you?😏
How I miss them....
"cut the cheese" made me laugh (means to 'break wind' in UK = fart/trump)
TECHNICALLY you can put a grease fire out with water... You just need enough water to starve it of oxygen. Which is an amount that most people won't have readily available.
trust the Dutch to make cannon worthy cheese - lol!
32:49 The numbers don't match the test results. They've switched the Smoked Gouda and the Garrotxa.
1845 ppl found out about Grilled cheeze sandwiches ppl before 1845 :
I wonder if the temperature of the water affects the fireball height at all
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.
my question is what kitchen has 30 foot ceilings?
Dammit, now I want cheese.
Whats the lethal cheese name? Garrotxa slides better Garrotxa One of my favorite of all the Spanish cheeses, this is an artisan, unpasteurized hard cheese from north-central Cataluña. 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.
Yes I agree, re-do but inside a warehouse that has no cross wind and I’m sure it would reach 30’ ! And if you do retry this myth can I suggest olive oil??
I'm gonna try that one, hi nice actuator you have there!
Now I want grilled cheese
They confirmed the myth because who has a 30 foot kitchen
22:13 Safety! XD
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
@thekingoffailure9967

Wind doesnt blow straight across land, it blows in flurries and vortexes. It definitely could have added downward momentum to the air column. But I still agree the test wouldnt have been much different

38:16 Jamie also changed the rules here and claimed the wind would mess with the fire ball results.
Don’t watch this video without headphones at the airport 😅
15:3 detail? ..without the sidewind it would problably 30 feet flame 🤷🏻♂️
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.

@AJD09FB

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.

@SkigBiggler

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.
What if u add ice or dryice to a Greece fire

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.
once again they cant get the myth right. you don't put that much grease in a pan, you would use a pot the glass of water splashes a lot of the grease out of the pan. if in a pot the fire would be forced upward get it right guys!

I'm a native speaker but had to look this up. People debate about it but seems both are correct! We usually say something is "on TV" but "in a film" Someone on the internet said maybe this was because we see a TV mostly as a physical object, but see a film more like a collection of information

@@user-ys3jh7tw8j Thanks man! I found some discussion about "on the show"/ "at the show". 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.
