I tried using 100% peanut oil a couple times, but it seemed to make the contents foam excessively. Perhaps there was water in it?
Will try that next time Rhodium, just to see.
Everyone falls down. It's how fast you get back up that is important.
On second thought, it just makes no sense. How can an oil that is the same temperature as the ketone, prevent scorching? If the ketone is becoming vapor at say, 150C how could an oil at the same temperature cool it down? Either way, the last drop of ketone should still come over at its boiling point right?
It must be just a trick to help in the clean up afterwards. An oily matrix of crap would be easier to clean than dried crap.
