Does oil freeze?
Answer:
it does not freeze the same way as water at a distinct temperature. cooking oil is a mixture of compounds and some solidify at a higher temperature than others, so it has a freezing traject. if you start cooling oil first the more saturated fatty acid compounds start to solidify, technically the stearines, the oleinic phase start somewhat lower. the effect is that if you cool oil it thickens, so it gets more difficult to pump and at about minus 20 degrees celcius it is rock solid. in palm oil it is used to separate two different qualities of oil, palm stearic and palm oleinic, by cooling the oil to a certain temperature and than filtering.
of course, everything freezes in the right conditions.
You would have to clarify the type of oil you are asking about (i.e. olive?)
however if you are asking about crude oil, it freezes at -31 degrees F
Absolutely, and at a higher temperature than water.
yes
yes
the freezing point depends on the oil you're refering to.
To which type of oil are you referring?
Olive oil: 6C (refrigerator temp)
Sunflower oil: 17C
Aviation gasoline: -60C
Crude oil: I found lots, no one specific temperature - it depends on the assay/test run.
But to answer in general...yes, oil can freeze.
