    And, specifically because oil doesn’t boil at those temperatures, it can be at much higher temperature than water can be as a liquid.

    We tend to have a mental model of how much damage water can do at its “max” temperature, because liquid water stops existing after a certain temp.

    But oil can be so much hotter than that, and still just be a liquid. It’s dangerous in that way, because while a drop of water at near boiling can only do so much damage but a drop of oil can be holding a lot more heat and hence cook a lot more of your flesh before it runs equalizes with the surroundings
