Have you ever seen cooking oil catching fire when a frying pan is kept for long on a burning stove?

Yes, though cooking oil does not catch fire on its own at room temperature but if is heated a little, it catches fire. That is why when cooking oil is kept on the burning stove for long, it reaches its ignition temperature and starts burning.
