nobody puts oil in the fridge, "cold" oil means it didnt warm up with the pan. you get the pain hot then add the room temperature (COLD OMG!) oil. its a thing, google it.

maybe youre thinking about putting protein on an already hot plate, so it sears the protein, instead of putting the protein in a cold plate and then turning on the heat, which would actually "boil" the meat.

you dont make the pan super hot, i never get my pans that hot unless i'm making steaks, you do medium , wait maybe 4 or 5 minutes then add the oil, it doesnt boil. you just want the pan lubed up. if you make chicken or something then add a lot more oil.

the protein will boil if you drop it into a cold plate which is why everyone says drop proteins onto a hot plate, and then maybe from there some weird myth about cold oil in a hot pan developed...
not like it matters for you, youre italian, you cook with olive oil which has the lowest smoke point of all the oils.

I'm not searching through 10 movie threads to check the brand name of olive oil you scrubs are cooking your popcorn in this week. A one stop shop for the lazy was the only solution.

Well this scrub doesn't even use oil. I have a cheapass silicon bowl that I toss some popcorn in and throw it in the microwave. Add butter and salt after.

yea i mainly reserve peanut oil for frys or specific "regions" of cooking
like i'll use the peanut oil when i'm cooking w/ sichuan peppercorns cuz they need high heat to bring out the flavor or marinated beef.

I like my De Buyer more as well, but I also use it more since I got a smaller one to do eggs in for breakfast. It does have the rubber in the handle that I'd take out if you're using it in a 400+ degree oven.
