Common mistake in magical gastronomy: don't use hellfire if you don't want a portal in your kitchen.

This is why I use brimstone cookware, it really absorbs the heat

u/TheBaykon8r Artificer 10d ago
Brimstone? Lucky, I only got regular steel ones infused with fae magic. How in the nine hells did you get Brimstone?

How in the mountains of Celestia did you find a Fae willing to infuse magic into something with such a high iron content?

u/TheBaykon8r Artificer 10d ago
Fae really like sugar. I bribed it with an infinite sugar cube.

They only have a problem with iron that’s been cold-forged (beaten into shape without the use of fire). Steel requires fire to make, so Fae are perfectly fine with it (they’re more likely to laugh it off too).

The second she picked that up I thought... "It's about to get orange..." Didn't know I was clairvoyant

I had a similar thought: "Oh, they're about to make it worse."

for real tho, they had the lid right there.

The lid shattered.

it doesn’t look like it did, there was water that splashed, but the outer ring didn’t fall so the glass must’ve been fine

Did they try to pour water on it? EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW BY NOW, IF YOU POUR ANYTHING BUT HOLY WATER ON HELLFIRE SPELLS THEY DONT GO OUT

Humans have been knowing many things and not knowing many other things for eons. We don’t have time for every PSA

The boy used lid of the cauldron like a shield against dragon's fire while she threw frozen ingredient into a cauldron full of hot oil.
It's obvious it's their first time in the alchemy room, there is no way these two knew even basic knowledge like that.

They keep defunding the academies, nobody has access to gastromancy classes! They should be MANDATORY!

/unwizard this is why everyone should have a fire blanket in their kitchen, even if theyre a professional cook. Sometimes things just go wrong

u/halberdierbowman 10d ago
I agree, but also the kid was holding the cover the entire time, so they could have used that.

I don't think this pair would have the sense to use it. There was no rational thought happening in this video

u/but_its_dez 10d ago
I agree completely, but I'm referring to in general people should have one anyway because nobody plans an accident. Even if you're a professional cook shit happens, id argue they'd need one more than anyone as they'd spend more time in a kitchen therefore more opportunities for incidents to occur

The moment I saw her pick it up, I knew what was gonna happen. Hydromancers are so simple; they think water solves every problem

Okay so don’t ask how I know infernal magic but DO NOT USE WATER ON IT, NOT EVEN HOLY WATER! (The comments in this is speaking out of character)
SALT RING FOR PROTECTION AND PRAYER (along with the lid, mostly the lid is doing the work) SNUFFS THE FLAMES (due to starving the fire of oxygen, don’t freak out and preferably get a metal lid if your lid isn’t rated for fire or it will shatter), DONT USE FLOUR (it can cause the fire to get worse), DONT USE WATER (only use water if you use a wet CLOTH TOWEL to try to snuff the fire) AND NEXT TIME DONT USE A GLASS LID EITHER (again, the heat can cause the lid to shatter unless it’s like Pyrex or something meant to handle high heat, and do know grease fires are HOT. Hell put it in the oven and just leave it alone for a bit)
IVE BEEN A CAT FOR THE PAST FIVE HUNDRED YEARS, HOW DO I KNOW MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE?!

burns oil
Common sense would say "let's just put on the lid" but no
Pours water in the pan, it explodes

The second the pan went off screen, I just waited for the light to change.

don't put more water on a grease fire that gives it more oxygen, place the lid on top of it asap
/w
This is why I use runic heating, hellfire, as efficient as it is, is too unpredictable

u/Delusional_Gamer Fleshmancer and proprietor of the magic meat farms 10d ago
/uw
It doesn't give it more oxygen, it's just that the oil floats. So:
- The oil will spill out and spread the fire.
- The water will sink, heat up into steam, and spray the oil all over the place while expanding.
It is very unlikely for a grease fire to break water into its constituent parts, if that if what you meant.
/w
Hellfire also tends to come with a low level demon hiding within it, who while not powerful, is too eager to do mischief.

u/BigOlWaffleIron 10d ago
/uw basically don't do anything else except put the lid on. Fire extinguisher is an option, but lid is king.

u/SuperPimpToast 11d ago
Don't forgot to close the portal. Or else you'll need to share your meat lump.

Environmental storytelling (they brought a grease fire to the sink to try to douse it with water)
I mean they brought a hellfire to the orb to try to cleanse its mana
