Water wont get hotter than boiling otherwise it evaporates. Oil can reach higher temperatures which cooks food faster and makes food crispy, but you can still cook with oil at low temperatures also, like when making pomme fondant.

Does oil present in water affect the melting rate of an ice cube?
Yes, because oil has a different specific heat than water
Why is water used in household radiators instead of oil?
Water is used in household radiators instead of oil because of high specific heat and high heat of vaporization. Water is also cheaper than oil.
What is the specific heat of engine oil?
The boiling point/break down point of lubricating oil to be 300-370 degrees Celsius
What is the specific heat of cooking oil?
you heat the same masses of 2 different substances i.e. 100g of water and 100g of cooking oil, for two minute intervals recording the temperature of the two beakers every two minute (do multiple tests form accuracy). then, use Q=mc t to find out how much was energy required to heat the water. (c=4180 (specific heat capac.) Once you've found Q for water, you can now use this answer to find c for the oil as Q is the same for both because the heat energy transferred into both beakers is the same. Transpose the q=mc t equation to get c= q/mt. This will give u the answer for specific heat capacity of oil. cheers
What is the specific heat of sesame oil?
The specific heat of sesame oil is 1,63 J/g.K.
What is the specific heat of crude oil?
Heat exchanger for petroleum
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)
Specific heat in 1 btu of fuel oil?
Specific heat of fuel oil in btu: 1)minimum-0.4 2)maximum-0.5
What is the specific heat of 5w-30 motor oil?
It has no specific heat. The temperature of the oil will depend on if the engine is cold or at full operating temperature. The heat capacity is23 kJ/kg k.
Do oil and water mix together when combined or does one hover above the other?
Water and most oils have different specific gravities, oil being generally lighter than water, so oil usually floats on water.
What is the specific heat capacities of olive oil?
Murked It
Is it safe to heat oil with a usual water kettle?
No, it is not safe to heat oil with the usual water kettle since oil is highly inflammable.
