Comment on I’d find a way to burn it

I embarrassingly started my first grease fire this weekend.
In my defense I never had used this stove and when I added oil to the pan it was a lot hotter than I was expecting. This was a very hot 5 setting.
I did what you’re supposed to do and just smothered it, though I puckered a little when I couldn’t find the lid at first glance and had to grab a pie tin.

I usually have my hobs on 6 for a long enough time to boil a large pan of water, then put the wok on there, give it a while to get a bit heated up and then drop oil on it.
I’ve never managed to set fire to oil while cooking.
What sort of oil were you using? I mostly use rapeseed.

Vegetable. Hit the pan and flames.

There’s lots of vegetables, my man.
How long was the pan on the hob before you splashed it with oil?
I’m not criticising you, I’m trying to learn though your mistake because I’ve always tried to dance around that fine border of oil being hot vs it being literally lit. And I’m just wondering how close to the edge I am.
The hob should have enough power, it draws like 400+ volts just like the stove of my sauna. So it’s not like using a 110v electric hob in the states.
