oil is different from lard because it has less hydrogen atoms. this means that for it to freeze (ie become a solid) very low temperatures are required. so low in fact that it would have to be stored in liquid nitrogen. once removed from the liquid nitrogen, it would start to thaw into a liquid before it could reach the fire.
For some real fun you want to throw a cup of ice chips into a deep fat fryer...





(P.S... It explodes dont actually do this)
I don't think oil freezes its a liquid fat rather than a solid one at whatever temperature.
i guess as oil is flammable it would course a fire ball


best not to do it


i don't know if oil freezes
Frozen oil isn't the same as frozen water or ice. Oil freezes or solidifies at a much higher temperature than water. For instance, margarine is normally a solid in the UK if left out of the fridge, however in somewhere hotter like southern Spain, the margarine would melt and would then be classed as an oil.





The fat would melt and burn.
It would melt, then boil, then ignite; not necessarily all of the oil at the same time. To whom it may concern: ALL liquids freeze.
I would melt and then burn. oil Will freeze, lard is easier to solidify.
It would thaw then burn.
i dunno why dont you try it and then come back here and let us know
It would melt and then start sizzling and the oil would spit out of the fire all around the room beside the fire!
