When something burns it uses up it's fuel/calorific content and turns into a small blob of black which is known to chemists as 'carbon' and to the rest of us as 'bugger'. This I can cope with.
If you stick the same item (or an unburnt relative of said product) into a deep fat frier and heat it for too long, it goes black and creates this same black substance. There has been no oxygen for the the energy to burn with. Where did the energy go?
