Stop Oil Splatter In The Kitchen With A Simple Salt Trick
BY Eibhlis Gale-Coleman
Oil splatters can be really pesky,
so to avoid accidental burns, damaged clothes, and extra cleaning time, TikToker @brunchwithbabs suggests adding salt on the bottom of your pan.
Splatters occur during frying when evaporated moisture from the food mixes with the hot oil on the outside, prompting the oil to crack, bubble, and spray everywhere.
When sprinkled on the pan before frying, salt works as a moisture absorber, minimizing the amount of water that comes into contact with the oil and limiting that splattering.
