Can you use Automist on chip pan / deep fat fires?
Automist is well suited to these fires. It is well known that pouring water onto an oil fire is dangerous, as the water sinks and then boils. The same is not true of water mist, however, as the updraught from the flame and the evaporation of the droplets prevents water from reaching and collecting in the pan. High-pressure water mist is in fact the preferred method of protecting deep fat fryers and has been used for this purpose for many years.
