What the studies listed by Gareth Rees investigate is smoke, namely the smoke that oils generate when heated above the smoke point. This has nothing to do with steam, in fact its formation can largely be prevented if enough water is present to keep the oil temperature below smoke point. | |

| May 16, 2016 at 15:28 | comment | added | GEdgar | I heard (but cannot now find) that workers in popcorn packaging factories have to wear masks, to prevent inhaling the fumes of the "buttery flavor" oil that is used. | |
