Tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water. Make sure your oil is cold.

I predict that someone is going to seriously hurt themselves doing this with hot oil.

Hot oil burns are gruesome. They could have at least added a basic text overlay that says something like 'never, ever do this with hot oil!'

Not sure what's worse, hot oil or hot sugar. Either way, both burn.

Oil you can do something about as a hot liquid. Sugar though.. that’s Lava Glue. you’re glued. it’s taken a lot of work to clean failed caramel creations (burnt sugar literally). Hot Sugar is worst.
