Can you fry an egg in a newspaper frypan?

When you fry something it's the oil that determines the cooking temperature. As he said, the paper has to hit ignition temperature, but the oil will cook the egg at less than this. Different oils cook at different temperatures. Olive oil is quite low while peanut oil is quite high. Water content of food isn't going to make the difference.

I don't know if that's true, is it? I mean Olive oil has a lower "smoke point" than peanut oil and therefore will burn or smoke first, but it doesn't exactly determine the temperature food will be cooked at. So if I want to cook something at a higher temperature, I should use an oil with a higher smoke point so as not to burn the oil and thereby spoil the food, but I could cook the food at a lower temperature, it would simply take longer to do it and perhaps impart a different quality to the food.
