Ice used for removing oil from dish, internet asks if method can be used for oil spills in oceans

We sometimes get in situations where we need a hack, and our saviour in such times turns out to be the internet. One such hack has been shared on Twitter recently in which the method for removing excess oil from a dish has been revealed. In the clip, an individual dips a round ice block in what appears to be a soup, and the oil present in the dish sticks to the ice block. The ice is then removed from the soup and the excess oil can be seen frozen on its surface. The person then separates the oil from the ice block via a spoon.

Have a look at this video here:

The clip has attracted a wide range of reactions in the comment section.

A user wondered why so much oil was put in the dish.

Why you put that much oil in that you need to remove the oil like this way

A person asked if this method of removing oil can be used on an industrial scale.

Could this work on an industrial scale such as:
1-freezing oil spills?
2-Breaking/retrieving and disposing?

Some people pointed out that it was the fat which was removed and not the oil. An individual wrote, “Oil doesn’t harden with cold. Saturated fats do.” He went on to say that the person was either using butter or coconut oil for cooking.

More like fat.

Oil doesn’t harden with cold. Saturated fats do. So the dude was probably cooking with either butter or coconut oil

Some viewers stated that the people who are talking about not adding too much oil have no experience in cooking.

Everyone saying “just don’t add oil” have no idea what they’re taking about and no experience cooking.
