Exactly. This can be observed clearly right before your eyes within 10-30min as a color change and a thickening, and the next 20-30min can be spent working it into a hard chunk of clay-like material.
In the first place let me thank you endlessness and amor_fati for all your help. This is indeed a great forum to learn!
Yet (yes, SWIM is thick!), SWIM is still trying to understand why the hardening of the oil might be important. This oil never hardened no matter how much SWIM scraped and moved it. It was always sticky even in somewhat low temperatures (17 C). SWIM's managed to use a kitchen rubber scraper to get it out from the dish, yet it was difficult to get the stuff from the scraper as it was like glued to it like tar.
So to get it straight:
1.1 A oily residue that might become thick with constant scraping means that (please fill in)
1.2. A oily residue that is sill like tar even after a long time and lots of scraping means that (please fill in)
2. Getting spice, or something really, really, like n,n out of that gunk means that (remove what's not relevant):
A. n,n, was trapped there in the oil, and A/B extraction got it together
B. there was some n-oxide that was converted into n,n with A/B performed
C. hmmmm, such a bad experience, it's hard to tell
D. It's not n,n SWIM's got. It's ________ (please fill in)
E. Other (please specify)
Sorry for being so Cartesian. This is not one my finest moments
