Closed oil thread

[bamamate]

Can't believe 670cc closed down another potential oil and filter thread. I cooked a fresh bag of popcorn, sat down to enjoy it and wham, it was closed. Guess I'll eat it while editing a video.

That one of the threads I don't even try to follow. Although it can be entertaining.

I didn't even get to share my favorite snake oil.

I took enough heat from the last Beemerphile Bashing that I acted quickly on this one - maybe too quick. I hope nobody minds . . . .

PM me if you have a concern.

Also, sorry for wasting popcorn.

 

[Fuzzy]

No concerns, just having some fun.

Nope. Good move. I ate the popcorn while editing video. Once it is uploaded to Vimeo I'll post it.

What kind of oil did you use making the popcorn?

What kind of oil did you use making the popcorn?

Microwaved Popcorn! You know, that new fangled stuff.

I've heard that if I use my microwave to pop popcorn with synthetic oil that I will always have to use synthetic in the future or risk damage to the cyclotron and potentially void my warranty. Is there any truth to that?

Nothing but OEM's own Orville Redenbacher oil. Anything else voids the warranty

Maybe some truth, but the common microwave oven uses a magnetron, I believe. A cyclotron? Whoa! What's the half life of your popcorn?

The cyclotron is the part on the bottom that spins your food around, silly. Don't you know nuthin?

On a slight tangent, I'm getting ready to put some kitchenware into long term storage and am worried about rust. I know I should coat the forks with fork oil, but what about the spoons?

Don't put the spoons in storage. Carry them in your Frunk in case you need them to change a tire.

Too late. A dish just ran away with the spoon.

here's a link to my favorite "OIL THREAD".

It's the one where I learned a lot about oil and what is certified and what is not.
