I'm never making homemade french fries ever again!!

I didn't see any smoke when it was just sitting in the pot. There was smoke when it exploded & poured onto the hot burner, but I turned the burner off right away. My thoat is all raw from the stinky fumes it made.

I used the lid to keep the splattering down, didn't know it was a problem.

Oh yeah lids are an absolute no-no!

I'd rather clean up a little grease splatter than burn my hand or risk getting hurt!

I'm new to the whole, living on your own & cooking all the meals. I can bake & cook meats & veggies & thats about it.

Now I know what not to do with oil.
