Oil temperature must reach a minimum of 212F, the boiling point of water, in order to burn off moisture. Holy freakin’ cow, I can’t take it any more. People are still regurgitating this useless drivel. I know, Right! Look folks, it’s basic physics, I won’t quote a source that disproves this foolish rookie myth, because there are far too many to choose from. Water evaporation can occur anywhere from the boiling point to well below the freezing point, ever wonder why the ice cubes in your freezer seem to shrink over time. Breathe on a mirror. That fog your breath made is moisture, or rather water vapor; but the average human body temp is only about 98.6F. Not Compelling enough; have you ever boiled water and saw steam rising off the water before it actually boils, maybe you’ve watched steam rising off the road after a brief summer rain, have you seen fog rising off the lake or river in the morning, or maybe you have spilled a little water somewhere that you didn’t clean up and when you came back the next day it was mysteriously gone, because it evaporated. Ta-Da! Gee Mr. Wizzard, I guess moisture will evaporate from your oil at temperatures below the boiling point of water. Evaporation is a very common, naturally occurring event that takes place all around you, all the time. The closer you get to the boiling point, the faster it happens If you require a more advanced answer than this, just Google “evaporation”, or If you require a less advanced answer, you’re in over your head, and…….. “CLEAN UP ON ISLE THREE”.
Do you have any facts on brain evaporation??
