I heard some pop pop sizzles in the kitchen a few minutes ago, angry loud ones, so I ask my wife if she's okay, and she said she's fine. I asked her what she was doing and she said cooking, so I asked her exactly what she was doing. Apparently, the instructions on the package for stove top cooked southern hasbrowns said heat 1/4 - 1/2 inch of oil on a medium heat, which she did. She was smart and tosses a few drops of water on it, which is the noise I heard. I grabbed my IR thermometer and shot it at the pan, 465 degreees. It'd already hit the smoke point...
My heart is still racing at the fact that she was the contents of one package away from third degree burns off anything the oil hit.
