What's this I hear about silat practitioners jamming their hands in gross ass boiling chicken fat? Why do you do this?

Why, to make themselves crispy. They only add the special herbs and spices when they are engaging in actual combat, though. -
...in all actuality I think that there is a trick to it, like most martial art "stunts". They are done to show martial prowess through "trial by ordeal". Those savvy to the trick are masterful, those who aren't get burned. That simple. Plus, burns from fat and oil tend to have pretty good treatments in southeast asian ethnomedical modalities. I remember a cook at my parent's Thai restaurant accidentily thrusting his arm up to the elbow into a fryer when I was a child. He immediatly doused it with fish sauce and after applying some sort of balm he got from the local Buddhist monestary, he was pretty much 100% back to normal.Comment

Cold boil trick... the OIL is only a hundred and some degrees... The trick is a fluid that's heavier than oil at the bottom of the kettle boils at a low temp.
Lets see the same trick with oil near the flashpoint 450 degrees!
Talk about extra crispy...Comment

One day i went to a fast food.Were I saw a young lady on my right was eating a messing looking hotdog. I asked her how was it and she said delicious. I asked her what do order to get one like that. She told me to ask for a hotdog with all the fixings. That makes sense.Comment

I agree its more then likely a stunt to try and prove something like board breaking and all that jazz as for the herbs and spices go those are for taste
