    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.

        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.

        My hob should have enough power to be at least comparable to yours, 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.
