Best Answer

The oil doesn't spit, it's the moisture in the pan that spits. Any water droplets on the food or the pan get covered over by the oil. Then when the water gets hot enough to boil and turn to steam, it makes a small explosion and throughs a bit of the oil out of the pan when it explodes.
