Detailed explanation-1: -Oftentimes, the amount of hot grease that hits your skin is small enough that it does not cause much pain or damage. However, there is always a chance for severe burns any time you cook with oil or grease.
Detailed explanation-2: -Second-degree burns can be caused by contact with hot oil, grease, soup, or microwaved liquids. In rare cases, sun exposure can also cause second-degree burns. A second-degree burn means that the deep skin layers and nerve endings have been damaged.
Detailed explanation-3: -A grease fire happens when your cooking oil becomes too hot. When heating, oils first start to boil, then they’ll start smoking, and then they’ll catch on fire. Most vegetable oils have a smoking point around 450°F, while animal fats like lard or goose fat will start smoking around 375°F.
