So normally I would say I am a very relaxed cook, not much goes wrong and I don't really do panicking, but on Saturday night I had a really clumsy day. I had some girls over for steak and a movie and while drinking wine and gossiping in the kitchen I had one of the most dangerous accidents so far, I chucked in my potatoes to the boiling hot pan of oil and it went mad and overflowed all over the cooker top, thankfully I turned the gas off and nothing caught fire but there was a dangerous amount of boiling hot oil all over the kitchen. And then while clearing up the oil around one of the gas burners I set fire to some kitchen roll. Anyway a few things dropped on the floor and glasses spilled later, we had awesome steak with the best shoestring fries. So just a warning when using a pan of hot oil compared to a controlled fryer, check the temperature and gently lower in the chips in small amounts and don't drink wine and talk about boys! 2 sirloin steaks 2 medium potatoes, peeled a
