willis-gu Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I have heard hover it over the hob on the oven, til it starts to get hot or you can tell the oil is burning off, then drop it in some water. That is ment to work, have not tried it yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
