Why does the pan catch fire when cooking?

The fire in the pot may be caused by high oil temperature for cooking or oil overflowing from the pot and touching the fire source. When the oil temperature is too high, the oil will start to burn and produce flames. At this time, if the ingredients or oil spill out of the pot, it may come into contact with the fire source and cause a fire. In addition, if the quality of cooking oil is not good, or there is residue at the bottom of the pot, it may also lead to fire.

In order to avoid fire in the pan when cooking, the following measures can be taken:

1. Control the oil temperature: Before cooking, heat the pan before draining it. When the oil starts to smoke, it means that the oil temperature is too high, so you can turn down the fire or keep the pot away from the fire. In the process of cooking, you can constantly adjust the firepower and control the oil temperature.

2. Choose suitable oil products: choose oil products with high high temperature stability, such as peanut oil and sunflower oil, and be careful not to use expired oil.

3. Clean the bottom of the pot: Before cooking, you can clean the bottom of the pot to avoid residue causing fire.

4. Pay attention to the humidity of ingredients: If the humidity of ingredients is too high, it will easily cause oil to overflow the pot. You have to dry the ingredients first, and then stir-fry them in the pot.

In short, when cooking, we should pay attention to control the oil temperature, choose the appropriate oil products, and at the same time pay attention to cleaning the humidity of the bottom of the pot and ingredients to avoid fire in the pot.
