In theory yes. However, we had an electric fryer some years ago and the lid sprang open during cooking, spattering my wife with hot oil as the condensation under the lid dripped into the oil. She was holding a week-old baby at the time, but luckily had her back towards the fryer.
That was clearly unsatisfactory (and I'm glad that it sounds as if no great harm was done), but it's obviously different from what I was talking about. From the point of view of fire risk, it would seem (to me) that electric fryers have got to be safer than hob-top ones.
It was a little more than spattering, as the lid sprang open with some force, due to the combination of the spring and the internal pressure, so the condensation on the inside of the lid (close to boling point) was flung in all directions.
True, but it doesn't have to be much of an extent to be painful - particularly during the recent 'heat wave' when I've sometimes been 'topless' whilst using a frying pan!
Too much information John!
Indeed - 'chip pans' on gas hobs have surely got to be the worst option of all. At least my cooker has no exposed flames, but I certainly would not be happy to use a chip pan on it.
Better that than fully nude and frying sausages.Too much information John!
I'll leave you to guess!Did you mean "lesson"? Or "lesion"?
John, try taking a little more solids with your liquid lunch!
At least BAS only picked up on one of the typos (the other one must have been the consequence of my mind thinking of two different sets of words at onceJohn, try taking a little more solids with your liquid lunch!
)BAS is renowned for his tolerance.
