Spice

By HungerStrike - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - Czech Republic - Hostivice

Today, me and some friends had home-made burgers for lunch. The guy who did the cooking later insisted that spitting in a frying pan is a perfectly acceptable way of guessing the right time to add the oil. FML

Or alternatively, he could test the pan by putting one drop of oil. Mind = blown.

Those burgers might have a little bit of a different taste now...

Mno jasně, když flusanec klouže po vršku pánve jako rtuť, tak je pánev dost nahřátá. Funguje to ale jen u nerezovýho nádobí :D

A frying pan is hot enough that a drop of spit would evaporate instantly... that's the whole idea behind a spit test. The grossness is all in your head.

don't be a pussy. the oil is hot enough to kill EVERYTHING.

Since when do you need to grease a pan to cook burgers? They have fat in them that turns to a grease/oil

This makes no sense. As others have said, any bacteria or germs would have been killed in such a high temperature. That's why we COOK our food before eating it.

As a trained chef this man offends me. Please give me his address and daily routine.

well add that to the culinary arts rules book..............

That's how I do it. Besides the burning hot oil and a hot frying pan would kill all the germs. No worries
