This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff
Hostivice, Czech Republic

Today, me and some friends had home-made burgers for lunch. The guy who did the cooking later insisted that spitting in a frying pan is a perfectly acceptable way of guessing the right time to add the oil. FML

Or alternatively, he could test the pan by putting one drop of oil. Mind = blown.

Those burgers might have a little bit of a different taste now...

Water? Let's be real: That makes too much sense, and who has time for that nowadays? Ain't nobody.

Am I the only one around here who grills burgers instead of frying them?

grilled burgers are way better but it's cold as shit outside.

Oil won't work. Water will, though.

That's so gross... o.o

Now I'm just taking a wild guess here, but that might, just maybe, have been the point. Maybe.

#2 actually even though the thought of it is gross, if the temperature were actually right for the oil to be added then it would be hot enough to boil the saliva faster than germs could spread. Thus, disgusting but sanitary.

Spit on his face and tell him you're just taking his temperature

Beat the shit out of his face and fry it

So I thought burgers made their own grease?

I have never used oil no matter how I've cooked them, but maube it is cultural thing. Who am I to judge?

that was my thought...

I usually cook with oil, but why wait to add the oil? It's not as if it goes bad when it's lukewarm.

If the oil is not hot enough, the food will suck it up like a sponge and that can make you feel really nauseous.

Wait, it isn't?

yeah, I always thought that that's how you do it... my whole life has been a lie...

Adds that hint of flavor that you couldn't get if you were eatting anywhere with standards.

On the plus side, at least there's plenty of enzymes of break down the meat to ensure a smooth, tender quality to it.
