I made the opposite mistake once. The oil was too hot and the second I put in the onions, WHOOOSH, giant fireball. It dissipated quickly and there was thankfully no harm. The oil didn't spatter or spill out but it was absolutely a mistake that only had to happen once to learn a lesson.
- eulgro 5y agoWhoo instant caramelization! I'm definitely trying that.
- cout 5y agoWow, that's quite an experience! I wonder what conditions you must have had for the oil to not already be on fire / smoking, but hot enough that a disturbance caused immediate combustion.
- QuercusMax 5y agoI'd guess it was probably all the moisture from the onions causing oil to splatter into a fine mist, which then hit the flames.
