True, but exceeding the temperature range of the oil you are using is easy to do with a gas stove top and a phone call that pulls you away.
Even a well seasoned pan has stuff on the outer lip (outside) that can find it's way inside. Even stuff on the bottom and chip away and pop up into the pan without you seeing it if moving the pan around.
I use the pan for making pop corn too, no hydrogenated oils like the microwave stuff.
