Hope you are enjoying your day, Leon - my Thursday was already in 'wind down' mode when I saw this. Sounds interesting.

anyone got a chip pan??

 

 

 

if thats a yes....THROW IT IN THE BIN!!!!! 

[bugmeister]

That's well caught, and very impressive as well as a bit scary

[NannyFerret]

Good pic and good advice, Mr W.

I threw mine in the bin when my hubby had to cut down on fatty things. Now it's only oven chips cooked in the Halogen cooker. 
A lot healthier and much safer too.

years ago a friend fell asleep with the chip pan on after a night out, sad thing was he chose the time the Fire Brigade were on strike, if it were not for the neighbours and the Army he'd have a widow and 3 fatherless kids!!

He was lucky as these things get out of hand so fast.

A house not far from us has been gutted by fire and even the adjoining house has some damage, so it just goes to show how quick a fire takes hold.

We do have a chip pan in the cupboard - used at least twice in the past 5 years, but not for chips!!

 

There was a major fire started in a rural area here quite a few years back, when a chip pan that had caught on fire was thrown out of a kitchen window. The house was not damaged, but the surrounding vegetation caught fire. Result 30 odd fire trucks, and two water dropping helicopters engaged to fight the fire, and a major higway closed for several hours. We did not get home from our workplace until midnight!!

Never had a chip pan since I got married, last time I saw one was at my mums and that had flowers growing in it
