How hot is the fire caused by burning Vegetable Oil?

[hotwheelharry]

I actually would like to know two things...

How hot is the fire from burning vegetable oil straight up? (like in a bowl)

and

How hot is vegetable oil fire when a bowl of oil is on fire and then water is poured onto it? (big fire)

I googled but only found flash point info and how to cook lol.

Which oil?

Generally Flash is 600-700 Farenheit, and that means boom in your face, which scatter the oil, thus diminsihing the heat.

In theory you could heat oil to any temp you want until the molecules dissociate.
