That crackling sound after dropping wet food taught me a lesson about moisture

My buddy said 'just pat them dry' and I ignored him, ended up with hot oil splattered across my forearm and a half-cooked batch of onion rings that looked more like charcoal briquettes, has anyone else learned this the hard way?

Learned that one the hard way myself a few years back. Thought I knew better than my dad's advice about patting stuff bone dry before frying. Ended up with oil popping all over the stove and second-degree burns on my wrist just from one little wet spot. Takes one bad experience to realize water and hot oil just don't mix.

Man, that's life's way of saying shortcuts never work.

Joe, shortcuts do sometimes work, but not when hot oil is involved like @josephbutler hinted.
