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.

Major palm oil consumers Asian Agri Cargill Golden Agri-Resources Wilmar along with the Indonesian Chamber of commerce and Industry say they'll work with the government of Indonesia the world's largest palm oil producer to plant new palms

Camelina seeds have very high oil content leading researchers at the Danforth Center to focus on Camelina to develop biodiesel and other industrial products.
In 2010 coal oil and gas supplied more than 80%of the world's total primary energy supply
because we'll run out of available coal oil and gas supplies in the coming decades. However our study which compares long-term scenario results across a large suite of technologically-detailed models shows that fossil resource constraints are unlikely to limit greenhouse gas emissions in this century.
When oil is extracted from the camelina seeds using either solvent extraction or expeller pressing the oil is used then in fuel production.
The defatted meal that is produced during this process is high in protein and may be fed to livestock
Stein said that the variation in digestibility among the sources of camelina expellers might be due to genetic differences between the seeds or differences in the oil extraction procedures.

#Key genes for increasing oil content in plant leaves identifiedscientists at the U s. Department of energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have identified the key genes required for oil production and accumulation in plant leaves and other vegetative plant tissues.
Enhancing expression of these genes resulted in vastly increased oil content in leaves the most abundant sources of plant biomass-a finding that could have important implications for increasing the energy content of plant-based foods and renewable biofuel feedstocks.
Oil is twice as energy-dense as carbohydrates which make up the bulk of leaves stems and other vegetative plant matter.
If you want to cut calories from your diet you cut fat and oils. Conversely if you want to increase the caloric output of your biofuel
or feed for livestock you want more oil said Xu. But plants don't normally store much oil in their leaves and other vegetative tissues.
In nature oil storage is the job of seeds where the energy-dense compounds provide nourishment for developing plant embryos.
The idea behind Xu's studies was to find a way to reprogram plants to store oil in their more abundant forms of biomass.
The first step was to identify the genes responsible for oil production in vegetative plant tissues. Though oil isn't stored in these tissues almost all plant cells have the capacity to make oil.
But until these studies the pathway for oil biosynthesis in leaves was unknown. Many people assumed it was similar to
what happens in seeds but we tried to look also at different genes and enzymes said Xu.
Altering the expression of a different oil-producing enzyme however had dramatic effects on leaf oil production.
If you knock out (disable) the gene for an enzyme known as PDAT it doesn't affect oil synthesis in seeds
An important observation was that the excess oil did not mix with cellular membrane lipids
but was found in oil droplets within the leaf cells. These droplets were somewhat similar to those found in seeds only much much larger.
It was as if many small oil droplets like those found in seeds had fused together to form huge globules Xu said.
Oil in these oversized droplets is broken easily down by other enzymes in the cells. In seeds he said oil droplets are coated with a protein called oleosin
which prevents the droplets from fusing together keeping them smaller while also protecting the oil inside.
What would happen in leaves the scientists wondered if they activated the gene for oleosin along with PDAT?
Overexpression of the two genes together resulted in a 130-fold increase in production of leaf oil compared with control plants.
This time the oil accumulated in large clusters of tiny oleosin-coated oil droplets. Identifying the mechanismnext the scientists used radio-labeled carbon (C-14) to decipher the biochemical mechanism by which PDAT increases oil production.
They traced the uptake of C-14-labeled acetate into fatty acids the building blocks of membrane lipids and oils.
Then the scientists decided to test the effects of overexpressing the newly identified oil-increasing genes (PDAT
and accumulation-170-fold compared with control plants-to the point where oil accounted for nearly 10 percent of the leaf's dry weight.
That potentially equals almost twice the oil yield by weight that you can get from canola seeds
which right now is one of the highest oil-yielding crops used for food and biodiesel production said Xu.
And there are challenges in finding ways to extract oil from leaves so it can be converted to biofuels.
Images showing the storage of oil in droplets were produced using microscopes housed at Brookhaven's Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) also supported by BES.
