What is more volatile vegetable oil or ethyl alcohol?
Vegetable oil, CAS # 9083-41-4, has a molecular weight of approximately 860 g/mol, and is far less volatile than the relatively tiny ethyl alcohol molecule, which has a molecular weight of approximately 46 g/mol. A larger molecular such as vegetable oil takes more energy in order for it to phase transition from the liquid state to a gaseous state.

Go to Energizer's website. It says that even energizer batteries recharged in an energizer 15 minute charger will only get about 150 charges, whereas batteries charged in an overnight charger will get around 500 charges. Duracell's website saysabout same. I just bought an energizer 15 minute charger that has a fan to keep the batteries cool and even with that they get very warm. One of the AA and one AAA battery actually leaked acid during their first charge.
Battery manufacturers always suggest telling you to use their batteries with their chargers. This is to put more money in their pockets, plus its the way they test their products. I have been using many diffterent NiMH batteries over the years, and several different chargers, so I would say yes you can use an energizer battery in a duracell charger. However based on the information found on Energizer's and Duracell's websites I would saydon't use a quick charger, you will shorten the lfe of the battery by 1/3 to 1/4. Your money is MUCH better spent on a slow overnight charger and an extra set of batteries to keep in it so you always have a set ready to go.
Can i bring peanut butter across the US border from Canada?
Yes, you can bring peanut butter across the US border from Canada.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If ever you are in doubt, it is ALWAYS best to declare the product to the border officials and ask them - that way you will not be breaking the law. However if you can not import the item you will have it taken off you.
If you assume it is OK and do not declare it you could be breaking the law and be subject to a penalty.
Sometimes it may pop/spatter slightly when a droplet of water comes into contact with the oil; the instant evaporation causes the popping sound.
What is the best cooking oil to use for steaks?
You can use almost any kind of oilt I like to use one with a neutral flavour and a high smoke point. So simple canola or soybean oil is my choice, or grapeseed oil if you have it. These oils won't break down at high-temperatures, and don't compete with the flavour of the steak.
Can uncooked cut potatoes marinated in oil sit in fridge overnight?
I wouldn't recommend having a marinade on potatoes overnight.
You can cut your potatoes up the night before and have them soak in water to avoid turning them brown/black. Just make sure the water is about an inch over the potatoes. If you want to marinate, an hour of soak time is good enough for potatoes. It's the oxygen that is touching the potatoes that turns them, so there might be some areas of the potato not completely covered in oil. If you still want to try it, make sure to have an airtight lid on.

What gets cooking oil out of clothing?
One way of removing cooking oil is by applying a generous pinch of salt on top of the stain, covering it. Leave it for about half an hour, and allow the salt to draw the oil out and into itself.
After this time, soak it in warm water (or daub it with warm water if the clothing can not be washed normally) and most of the stain should be gone, if not all of it. A normal washing after that should get rid of any residue.
