A video of a woman plunging her bare hands directly into hot oil while frying food has baffled the internet. In the clip, which has gone viral, the woman can be seen effortlessly using her hand to put the batter into the piping hot oil without flinching even a bit.
She also flips the food items present in the boiling oil, without using any tong or spoon. At one point in the video, she even picks some hot oil in her hand and shows the onlookers that she feels absolutely fine.
The video was posted on a Twitter account, ‘First we Feast’ and is perfectly captioned as “She said tongs are for losers.” Midway, an edited pair of tongs come in the frame and say, “Maybe, I am not even here. Maybe, I am a hallucination.”

Explaining as to why the woman did not get burnt, a person said, “Let me enlighten you non-science people, it is called Leidenfrost effect, even if there was a lava-filled pan she wouldn’t suffer damage at all.”
Another person wrote, ”“My wife pointed out the thick batter coating her fingers.”
Let me enlighten you non science people, it is called Leidenfrost effect, even if there was a lava filled pan she wouldn't suffer damage at all. For more information google the aforementioned effect.😅😂

The video was originally posted on TikTok, although the exact location where it was recorded is unknown.
Meanwhile, she is not the first person to so this. Notably, Prem Singh of New Delhi has been frying fish by putting his bare hands in hot oil for over two decades.
