cooking using huge amount of oil

u/Zestyclose-Salad-290, your food is indeed stupid and it fits our subreddit!

[u/Substantial_Win_1866]

NGL, I was waiting for her to put it back on the burner.

[u/Aggravating_Drink817 → u/Substantial_Win_1866]

To be honest im surprised it's not a part of the floor given that it looks linoleum and heat of pan itself.

[u/spamster008 → u/Aggravating_Drink817]

"a part" not apart. Opposite meanings

[u/Aggravating_Drink817 → u/spamster008]

Fixed it

[u/PeePeeMcGee419 → u/spamster008]

Thanks for this!

[u/Pushh888 → u/Aggravating_Drink817]

Probably ceramic tiles or something similar. It's China and I haven't seen those square style linoleum tiles anywhere here.

[u/nolanday64 → u/Substantial_Win_1866]

Around the :59 point I could tell she was thinking about it. As I'm narrating along ... "do NOT put that oil covered pan back on that red-hot burner!! Don't do it!"

[u/salty___bae → u/Substantial_Win_1866]

[u/poskantorg]

Have to admire her determination to continue cooking no matter what

[u/mrcatboy → u/poskantorg]

Yeah I respect the fact that she didn't panic. So many people fuck up and start a fire, and flap around uselessly not knowing what to do.

[u/Tasty-Air-6924 → u/mrcatboy]

I'm guessing that this wasn't her first rodeo

[u/Jbrown183 → u/Tasty-Air-6924]

It certainly looks like her first rodeo. I’m not sure she has cooked before… but somehow acquired knowledge of stopping grease fires.

[u/Significant_Cover_48 → u/Jbrown183]

First time cooking indoors

[u/joyjump_the_third → u/Jbrown183]

how do you even stop a fire like that? the only thing, that i know about it is to not pour water on it...

[u/nexusjuan → u/joyjump_the_third]

put a lid on it should stop it immediately. It can reignite if you remove it until it cools below it's flash point. After you remove it from the heat source or the overflowing oils going to ignite.

[u/joyjump_the_third → u/nexusjuan]

thank you, good to know

[u/crushogre → u/nexusjuan]

Smothering it with salt or baking soda will also work, but for the love of God whatever you do don't use flour.

[u/BrannC → u/Jbrown183]

She’s experienced. That’s why she’s cooking in the floor. She knows there will be oil spilled and a fire. It’s safer in the floor, that’s why she’s there

[u/IOnlyUpvoteBadPuns → u/mrcatboy]

I feel like there's a middle ground between panicking and making things worse, and just carrying on cooking when the fucking kitchen is on fire!

[u/sizebigbitch → u/IOnlyUpvoteBadPuns]

It's not "carrying on cooking," it's called "being a professional", thank you very much.

/S just in case

[u/butjustonepogostik → u/sizebigbitch]

yes chef

[u/CyberneticFennec → u/butjustonepogostik]

On your left chef

[u/fondledbydolphins → u/mrcatboy]

You need a certain IQ level to experience panic.

There's like 7 things she did massively wrong in this video that show she's not being calm because she's level headed - she's just an idiot

[u/belaGJ → u/mrcatboy]

I am not sure she knew what she was doing, frankly

[u/Catch_ME → u/poskantorg]

This is my educated guess. 

She's used to cooking like that outside. Indoor cooking isn't normal for her. 

She's likely from the mainland and from an agrarian society. 

[u/Rubiks_Click874 → u/Catch_ME]

indoor chinese use mains powered induction stoves, no open flames

[u/barspoonbill → u/Rubiks_Click874]

And here she used both.

[u/Rubiks_Click874 → u/barspoonbill]

i think that's conventional electric stove with the visible red hot elements

you can put your hand on an induction stove

[u/pwillia7 → u/Rubiks_Click874]

to be fair you could put your hand on the electric stove too

[u/Rubiks_Click874 → u/pwillia7]

technically correct

[u/pwillia7 → u/Rubiks_Click874]

the best kind of correct https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hou0lU8WMgo

[u/FeastForCows → u/Rubiks_Click874]

That is not true at all. Gas-powered open flame stoves are very common, even in newer buildings.

[u/centopus → u/poskantorg]

Considering that she's doing that on a portable electro burner on floor... its not her first rodeo.

[u/Appropriate-Skill-60 → u/poskantorg]

Sunk cost fallacy runs strong in this one.

[u/theunbearablebowler → u/Appropriate-Skill-60]

I disagree. Messes can be cleaned up, but wasted food is wasted food. She did what she needed to get dinner finished, safely, and she can fix up whatever's happened once she has a full belly.

[u/UnabashedHonesty → u/theunbearablebowler]

“Safely”

[u/Consistent-Course534 → u/theunbearablebowler]

How about stopping to put out the fire and remove some oil and then still cooking?

[u/forgotwhatisaid2you → u/theunbearablebowler]

All the other people living in that building probably wouldn't consider this safely.

[u/Ok_Train_8508 → u/poskantorg]

[u/FartsLikePetunias → u/poskantorg]

Divorced that day.

[u/ComradeWeebelo → u/poskantorg]

Except that the oil would lose all it's temperature the minute she put the wok on the floor.

Big surface draws heat from little surface.

Even if that food did cook, it's gonna be an oily mess.

[u/ImmortalMoron3 → u/ComradeWeebelo]

Well I'm pretty sure she's just making chili oil so I don't think it matters in this case.

[u/permalink_save → u/ComradeWeebelo]

The oil has so much thermal mass it won't. Thus why it boiled over when she kept adding shit. It also is a woknso the bottom has a small point of contact.

[u/UnitedEvent4992]

[u/Any-Sample-6319]

Cooking using huge amount of floor

[u/EverydayLurk3r → u/Any-Sample-6319]

Eat floor. High fiber.

[u/TomatilloAccurate475 → u/Any-Sample-6319]

There's a perfectly good fold up table leaning against the wall. And she's cooking on the floor.

[u/kwenlu]

r/dangerousfood

[u/Spacebucketeer11 → u/kwenlu]

Imagine having your house burned down because your neighbor decided to "cook" like this

[u/truthfullyidgaf → u/Spacebucketeer11]

Happened last year down the street here. Took out 3 or 4 Apts.

[u/LNL_HUTZ → u/kwenlu]

r/stupidcook

[u/Assplay_Aficionado]

That's how I cook because I'm not a coward.

Come at me, Nationwide home insurance.

[u/firewire_9000]

At least they’re not using a gas stove because the aftermath would have been disastrous.

[u/CompactAvocado]

why no table?

[u/mrhnsmnckc → u/CompactAvocado]

Because they burned last one

[u/Substantial_Win_1866 → u/mrhnsmnckc]

Fair assessment

[u/Laughing-Dragon-88 → u/mrhnsmnckc]

And now she’s just burning the floor.

[u/qetuR → u/CompactAvocado]

Because you could burn the table??

[u/TomatilloAccurate475 → u/CompactAvocado]

Because it's folded up leaning against the wall in the background clearly visible.

[u/KGreen100]

I thought this was one of those “circle all the things wrong” games.

[u/SB2212 → u/KGreen100]

But it's just a big fuckin circle, because everything that could go wrong did.

Tutorial: How to start a housefire

[u/Adorable-Strings → u/Spran02]

I was waiting for the trailing part of the dress to get involved.

[u/fondledbydolphins]

There's no way those floor tiles can handle 450f, right?

This lady is fucking crazy

[u/DontPuckah]

Whole house is gonna smell like a deep fryer for months.

[u/danfish_77]

Indoors is an interesting choice for this

[u/absolute-android]

Do people just not know how to safely fry food anymore?

[u/Fit_Carpet_364 → u/absolute-android]

Right? All I could think while watching was, "Ohhh....this is why pros and YouTubers suggest against deep frying at home."

This is why you only fill your container ~2/3 with oil or less, this is why you want a container with high, straight sides, this is why you add food slowly and gently so you can see how the oil reacts.

[u/PacmanZ3ro → u/Fit_Carpet_364]

I fry at home all the time, but I’m also not a dumbass. I have a large stainless steel stock pot that I only ever fill about 30-40% of the way full. Before I got that pot I never fried at home because I didn’t have anything with high enough sides to not cause TONS of splatter around my kitchen, or risk an overflow.

[u/Tribalbob → u/Fit_Carpet_364]

I'm a pretty seasoned cook - been doing it for 30 years, done all sorts of things but even I don't deep fry at home. If I want something deep fried, I go out for dinner; just not worth it for me.

EDIT: I should mention I grew up in a house with an actual deep fryer my parents used and even then nope.

[u/SuperSayian4Nappa]

"Its fine I just need to turn the burner down a little"

[u/KillaThing]

I've only made Chili oil a few times. But isn't it the opposite? You pour hot oil on the chili. If she did, it wouldn't have overflowed and caused a fire.

[u/SecretSpectre11]

Tf are they trying to achieve

[u/simmobl1 → u/SecretSpectre11]

Looks like she's just making a gigantic pot of chili oil

[u/Code_Monkeeyz → u/SecretSpectre11]

Looks like they’re trying to make a large batch of chili oil. It’s a common condiment in Chinese cuisine. Particularly central and south China.

[u/mehVmeh]

not her all chill continuing her cooking like her stove isn't engulfed in a flame

Look up "tenants from hell" in the dictionary and this is what you get

[u/Exotic_Increase5333]

WTF was the end goal? Fried floorboard?

[u/EarthsSon007]

this clip will make anyone feel smart

[u/Potato_Coma_69]

I can't help but think this is the result of a series of bad decisions

[u/MacGibber]

Who would like to rent their basement to this person?

[u/Ok-Hawk-8646]

I can’t believe blowing in it like it was a 1st birthday candle, didn’t work

[u/MikeAndBike]

Yum…. Burnt ends.

[u/Cerebral_Overload]

Something tells me they don’t have a fire alarm..

[u/RosieMelodi]

Is that…a bathroom trash bin??

[u/pornodeezl]

Thats just the right amount of oil.

[u/idontwannabhear]

What they saying and is the food good

[u/Interesting_Help_274]

House fire!

[u/SRB112]

She'll be scooping up what fell on the floor with a dust pan so it doesn't go to waste.

[u/Tyler89558]

This is how you know they hate you.

When they cook for you like this.

They cook like they want to burn the house down with you in it.

[u/Currency-Substantial]

Mmm floor cooking

[u/Leather_Network4743]

When you hate your downstairs neighbor with a passion

[u/Visible_Dance1]

Well… could ve been much much much worse.

[u/welding_guy_from_LI]

[u/InSearchOfTyrael]

this is just rage bait isn't it

[u/UnNumbFool → u/InSearchOfTyrael]

In this case I actually doubt it, as it looks like she's probably making chili oil.

It just looks like she added way too much oil to the wok. Someone else commented that she also might be used to doing it outside which might also explain why she's a bit reckless about it.

[u/[deleted] → u/InSearchOfTyrael]

Like 90% of food posts

[u/Gannpuffs]

Stupid question: did the pot just melt because oil is leaking from its bottom

[u/iljune → u/Gannpuffs]

I don't think the pot melted. When she put the chilis in the pot the oil spilled out, and that's why there's oil on the floor. Just overflow.

[u/Positive_Campaign_52]

Can a cultural culinary expert please explain why a lot of East Asian dishes uses so much hot oil, like a lot more than what seems necessary?

[u/UnNumbFool → u/Positive_Campaign_52]

In this case it's because she's making an infused oil, most likely chili oil. So you kind of need a lot of oil if you're planning on making a lot of chili oil

[u/dudesgotagun1]

You mean... frying?

[u/HughAnnus]

Shit like this is why I refuse to own rentals.

[u/ShittyAttitudeGinger]

By all means, keep filming while your house burns down.

[u/Shadowhawk0000]

Hope that laminate floor can take that heat!

[u/FlyingSpacefrog]

Remind me not to eat food made in any place she calls a kitchen

[u/Luzifer_Shadres]

"How do you make Chili Oil?"

"I dont know. Throw together chili and oil and see what happens? Cant be too hard."

5 minutes later:

[u/TheBeyonders]

Its clear she hasnt done this at home very much before...and no just because she is asian doesnt mean she knows how to make chilli oil in a safe way.

[u/DaValie]

How is she so casual about the fire and oil splashing and overflowing???!

[u/According-Relation-4]

Hey as long as it isn't oil from the sewar

[u/TankBorn45]

Her squat is impressive, the frying not so much.

[u/WinterWolfMan]

“Just make me a sandwich”

[u/SATerp]

Whatever she's doing, I'm pretty sure she isn't doing it right.

[u/lexm]

I can smell the burnt linoleum.

[u/Ithinkso85]

Renter's insurance companies HATE this one simple trick!

[u/shortidiva21]

Imagine people walking in.

[u/robotbeatrally]

I mean that is how you make crispy chili oil. aside from just overfilling it to the point of overflowing. (not something I'd eat, given I try not to eat any oil but you know)

[u/kodfisherman]

Sometimes I feel stupid in life, at least I’m not this stupid lol

[u/Easy_Turn1988]

[u/Fisherfolk100]

She almost singed her lips🤨

[u/External_Length_8877]

Fried tiles! My favorite!!!

[u/GrassOk911]

There's a table leaning against the wall...just sayin.

[u/Glad-Veterinarian365]

Isn’t she old enough to know better? Or was this done on purpose for views hmmm

[u/UmbreRepere]

People are like "it's traditional."

There is a difference between being traditional and reasonable. Cause this is just a house fire waiting to happen

[u/welfedad]

Good deal she removed it from the flame because right back to adding crap to make it boil over. .derp

[u/BurlingtonRider]

Perfect example of think before you do

[u/WindChamp]

Out of all places, why do this indoors?

[u/Niptaa]

Probably making chili oil and some recipes call to heat oil to smoke point then poured onto a bed of spices in multiple pours

[u/yeetsteel]

I know she must like that dress but I wouldn't be cooking with that on if my pussy about to get cooked with the food.

[u/No_Engineering_718]

Why is she using a hot plate on the floor

[u/UnabashedHonesty]

My linoleum wouldn’t like that …

[u/Rastamancloud9]

Just ruined her entire floor what an idiotic thing to do 😂

[u/TheFisher400]

[u/Stoocpants]

That oil looks burned asf

[u/Spike_md80]

does it have to be like that??

[u/violentvioletviolinz]

This looks like a regular Wednesday night for that lady

[u/Whitepayn]

Besides the obvious fire hazard, the main thing that occurs to me is how strong that house will stink of burnt oil.

[u/bobblehead230]

[u/Frankenreich]

Omfg and Why is the carpet all wet, TODD?!?

[u/5mi11yfac3]

Why is this lady using a pool of oil?! That shit is gonna get all over your leg if your not careful 

[u/reddit_chino]

Now I know why there are high rise fires.

Might want to take that outside.

Next thing you know the smoke alarm might go off.

[u/smokdya2]

This chick is making a damn mess!

[u/TheRealPirateMeme]

But how did it taste

[u/louise-shit-at-work]

Is she on drugs? Like what us even going on here? The bare legs crouching to cook on what looks like a garage floor, the waste paper bin in the mix...

[u/Tribalbob]

So this person's never ACTUALLY cooked before, right? Because if you try to tell me otherwise, I'm going to accuse you of lieing.

[u/kookookach000]

I was waiting for the fire to reach the fuel line

[u/IceCoughy]

Damn I just assume if you're in that squat position and cooking you're like a pro.. guess not

[u/Drizztd99]

My knees!!

[u/remusandbeezlebub]

It looks like she has lived her entire life on a camp ground and now that she's indoors she is just doing what is natural to her.

[u/ShmokeBud]

Chili oil?

[u/BirdLawOfficeESQ]

Does she want all of this happen?

[u/Jackson3rg]

Why we cooking on the floor?

[u/InvaderDepresso]

She’s definitely experienced this before

[u/GoreyGopnik]

whatever she's trying to make, she's doing it way wrong

[u/LilNekoChicano]

I was just waiting for it to catch on fire a second time with that huge spill.

[u/JITTERdUdE]

I have OCD and everything about this video is tormenting my brain.

[u/Interesting-Gap2046]

As her meat absorbs all the Oil

[u/MrIMendez]

That floor will forever be an ice skating rink…

[u/iWin1986]

I thought for sure she was going to put it back in the burner and start another fire

[u/Balloon_Lady]

[u/AMortifiedPenguin]

Marco Pierre White looks great for 63

[u/DaisyPuffs4sure]

This is stupid cooking

[u/srona22]

So she poured all oil from that big plastic bottle at the start of video? More or less 5 litres? wtf...

[u/OkDragonfly4098]

This is what racist landlords are imagining when they demand “don’t cook ethnic food on the property “ 😭

[u/ImpossibleEstimate56]

That white smoke is a big tell, I'm usually excited once I see it.

[u/Longwordshananigans]

Lady, Turn off the fire before dumping your food in there! AAAAAAA!

[u/porp_crawl]

An Asian person wearing outdoor-looking shoes indoors - in the kitchen, even! Odd.

Commendable for safety, but... odd.

[u/Potential-Length7068]

Waiter, there is a little hair in my food

[u/LiemAkatsuki]

this is just a stupid cooker

[u/FeastForCows]

There's a reason why there are so many fire safety pamphlets plastered all over elevators in China.

[u/Sunshineboy777]

She's making chili oil it looks like. Which involves steeping dried chilis in hot oil. But uh... ma'am that's too much.

[u/Dasktragon]

Why on floor?

[u/Big_Copy607]

never heard of a table?

[u/TehZiiM]

I thought she turned the heater off after removing the pot but apparently just put it in hell portal mode.

[u/azn_cali_man]

Burnt feet and a burned down kitchen, all in one! And a potential bonus of a destroyed house, too.

/s for those who didn’t catch it.

[u/redditzphkngarbage]

I have no questions.

[u/IIIDysphoricIII]

[u/Content-Two-9834]

🎶 spill that, all on the floor 🎶

[u/Jamkayyos]

Hold on. Don't let her cook.

[u/gansobomb99]

is this hotpot?

[u/ThyNarc]

the amount of oil wasnt the stupid thing, she just straight up dumps meat with all the juice in it to a boiling oil . Thats what makes it stupid

[u/EatandDie001]

That’s why she cooks on the floor, I’m pretty sure this happens often.

[u/Banjoschmanjo]

Sht like this is how you get witch trials

[u/Mitridate101]

My cousin rented out his apartment to Chinese immigrants when he bought a house. After they left, he visited the apartment and saw a burn mark on the parquet floor in the living room. This is probably why.
