Tap water heats up faster than cooking oil, but cooking oil cools down quicker. We discovered this in doing an experiment that measures cooling rate at 30 second intervals. The experiment was done two days ago, we did two tests and we believe we are acurate. If you would like to try for yourself, heat up the same amount of cooking oil and tap water and time it while it cools. Don't believe everything you hear, but do it yourself!

However, oil must be at a minimum of 162°C, working best at 190°C. As oil can be much hotter, the food it is frying cooks much quicker.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoEach material has a specific density; the components of cooking oils (fatty acids) are not so dense as water. The density is related to chemical composition and structure.

∙ 12y agoMostly because milk is more susceptible to burn and oil has to get to very hot to burn.

∙ 10y agothe particles in oil have a stronger attraction force than particles in water therefore slowing down the flow of the speed making oil more viscous yet less dence

Does milk freeze faster than vegetable oil?
It seems to be very difficult to freeze vegetable oil at all, so yes, milk freezes much faster than oil.
Does oil heat faster than water?
i think that oil burns faster than oil because oil has a greater thermal co-officiancy than water
Why does oil heat faster than water?
because oil has fat in it so its heat quicker and water has no fat i do catering
Why does coffee diffuse faster than milk and oil in an intestine?
A guess: because it is water soluble.
Which would evaporate the fastest oil or vinegar?
Liquid drinks evaporates in many different ways. Soda will turn into syrup, juice gets thick and milk will coagulate.
Whats the advantages of oil free heater?
An advantage of an oil free heater is that it is more efficient and it will heat up faster than others.
Does oil pour faster than water?
No, oil does not pour faster than water
Does water heat faster than motor oil?
Motor oil heats faster than water, as water has one of the highest specific heat capacities. (It takes more energy to increase the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 °C than to increase the temperature of 1 kg of oil by 1°C)
Does water freeze faster than diet coke vegetable oil milk syrup and or juice?
Because water has a higher freezing point than the aqueous solutions, e.g. diet coke, milk, syrup, and juice as well as the non-aqueous e.g. liquid vegetable oil, you would expect it to freeze faster than any of those liquids because you would first have to cool the liquids down to their freezing points before they would start to freeze. There is a possibility that the vegetable oil would freeze faster under some conditions since its heat of fusion is significantly less than that of the aqueous solutions - it would depend on the temperature you started from.
Why does water with oil boil faster than plain water?
because the oil makes the water have more heat which makes the water boil fast.
Why does kerosene oil catch fire faster than wood?
This is because the specific heat capacity of the wood is more than the kerosene oil. So, the wood takes time to burn but burns for longer period than the kerosene oil.
Is milk thicker than oil?
no but depends what oil???
