Material gains Oil and gas giant BP will invest US$100 Â million over ten years in a university-based research centre for advanced materials,
It will look at research issues important to BP, such as developing metal alloys that can work in deep-water drilling and membranes for purifying oil, gas, water and biofuels.

when you're talking about a pot of hot cooking oil and the moisture condensed on the surface of a frozen turkey. it's pretty incredible the amount of fire that simple combination can create.
Cooking oil is flammable but it doesn't catch fire in a deep fryer because it never approaches the approximately 800°F required.
and dissipates into the oil and the fire goes out. But oil dispersed into fine droplets is another beast entirely. individual droplets heat up very quickly
and the burning of one drop creates enough heat to ignite the one next to it and so on making a cloud of oil droplets extremely flammable.
Where might a cloud of oil droplets come from? From that big frozen bird. The recommended oil temperature for a deep fryer is 350°well above the boiling point of water.
When you drop food in you immediately see bubbles; that is the water in the food boiling off.
Put too much moisture in by lowering in a frozen turkey and the vaporization of the water throws oil droplets into the air. a few of the droplets hit the burner under the pot
and catch on fire beginning a chain reaction that ignites a large cloud of droplets. The result is the smell of a county fair
I first heat the peanut oil to 375 degrees so it will sear the juices in.
Then just before lowering the thoughly defrosted turkey into the oil I turn off the gas so there is no flame to ignite the oil!
Within a few minutes the moisture in the bird dissapates so the oil isn't splashing excessively.
By this time the oil is down to 300-325 degrees so I restart the burner with my propane torch
which works very well even in a brisk wind and bring the oil back up to 350.
This only adds a couple minutes to the cook time and is much safer as there is no ignition source
I was a child apparently the person didn't understand oil displacement as he filled it all the way to the top flash fires
Albert Einsteinas in the first comment use Peanut oil it is not flammable in fact it will put out the propane burner
We use only peanut oil in our inside deep fryer as well much safer. Has anyone here ever had a good deep fried turkey other than Tomgray?
And peanut oil is wonderful stuff. It does well at high temperatures. You can even solder in it!
--Lylefolks peanut oil IS FLAMMABLE. The only oil I know of that is assuredly not is CCL4 or carbon tetrachloride
which is NOT food safe. I am a chemistry physics and math teacher at a private school and
I can assure you that peanut oil will do exactly the same thing shown in this video.
when we set the turkey in the oil. That is wrong! At 200°Peanut oil WILL BURN!
Look it up Check the facts! There is no need to subject yourself to this punishment.
You do not waste oil or the leg and wing meat (no need to stop and relight the burner.
When you place a turkey into vat full of heated oil. It over flows as seen.

To answer your excellent question Frostty about oil and coal companies polluting the Earth to line their pockets
The oil and coal companies are providing a service that is invaluable to human progress and prosperity:
and those dastardly oil and coal companies provide it--the cheaper the better. It's essential to have cheap energy for humans to progress beyond a merely subsistence society that carelessly pillages its natural resources to a prosperous society that protects
In case you hadn't noticed we use oil and coal differently in the U s. than they do in China.
because oil companies are doing us a'service'does not take away from the fact that millions of metric tons of pollutants are pumped into the atmosphere daily.
-Yes oil companies have done good things for human progress but they are spending billions of years to get politicians to keep us hooked on fossil fuels rather than progressing to renewables.

Many areas of Borneo are also perfect for growing palm oil plantations and as demand for this oil has increased--especially in the last decade--more land has been cleared for this purpose.
