>testing oil temperatures
Shit is an art. Why the fuck doesn’t someone invent something that could measure a temperature on some sort of standardized scale?

>>15790572
Why overcomplicate when you can simply test the oil with the stick end of a wooden spoon?

>>15790626
If you put the handle of the spoon into the hot oil, how are you supposed to pull it out? The handle is in the oil.

>>15790633
Do you also pull cinnamon sticks out?

>>15790572
becasue joggers wouldn't be able to operate it?

>>15790633
Wtf bros, how many trees were wasted like this?

>>15790551
You can buy a thermometer for a couple of bucks.

>>15790707
What do you mean?

>>15790551
What a terrible illustration. You're supposed to look at how the oil sizzles immediately around the object you've inserted. This artist has never fried a food in their life.

>>15790626
I just stick the tip of my finger in it, works nice

just drop an ice cube in
if it melts, you're good to go

>getting a spoon all oily
>not just flicking some water off your finger into the oil

it's like you retards have never cooked before.

>>15790875
That didn't even make sense.

>>15790626
Because you can find infrared thermometer for like 10/20$

It gives you precise temperature and you don't have to submerge a wooden spoon in hot oil like an idiot

>pointing infrared light at boiling oil
First of all you're an absolute retard whose death is imminent. Secondly, the infrared thermometer cannot detect the temperature of liquid, as such you'll be reading the bottom of the pot.

>First of all you're an absolute retard whose death is imminent
What the fuck do you think is gonna happen retard?

>temperature of liquid, as such you'll be reading the bottom of the pot.
How about no? Oil is not perfect transparent, you idiot

>>15790626
nigger

>>15792234
When I point my IR thermometer directly down to a pot filled with hot oil, I get a reading that's consistently about 10 C above actual oil temperature, as measured with an accurate Thermapen. I'm not sure if it's measuring the bottom of the pot through the oil or something, but I think it's still a usable measurement.

>>15790551
Where is the vid of the black man in a chef hat trying to fry potatoes and burns his house down

>>15790551
If only there was some kind of meter for measuring thermal energy... a Thermometer (if you will).

>>15792234
>cannot detect the temperature of liquid,
it most certainly can I have an infrared thermometer AND an infrared camera.

>Oil is not perfect transparent, you idiot
>thinks infrared light gives a fuck about how something appears in the visible spectrum
>calls other people idiots
Opaque black plastic is literally transparent to infra red. What your eyes see has nothing to do with it.

>Opaque black plastic is literally transparent to infra red
Only if it's something like vantablack or a reflective surface you mongoloid.

You can check the temp of every black opaque items in day to day life

>>15790551
Boiled oil is great, I prefer a 50/50 mixture. Always make sure your oil is ~300F before you add water to your mixture so that it emulsifies properly.

just use a finger tip drop of water, and if it crackles oil ready.

>>15790572
throw in a popcorn colonel

>>15793428
Wont that explode?

>>15790551
yeah...this is why I use an electric fryer that adjusts that shit for me.

>>15793052
Thanks!! It works great.

>>15793052
Eh, I prefer a 50/25/25, half 350 F oil, and the other halves ice and water

>>15792636
>black opaque plastic..
>No! Cuz other black opaque things! And only if it’s..
I’m talking plain old regular black trashbag, you ignorant desperately-googling nigger.
I’m not sure what’s sadder. You being such a physicslet, or the fact that you’re doubling down on it.
IR thermometers are for surfaces.
Probes are for measuring temp of a liquid.

>black trashbag
You mean the reflective one you mental midget?

>>15790551
>hey guys we have finally figured out a trick to know if your oil is hot enough
>just hold the spoon backwards in your black hand and deep fry the handle of the spoon
thanks. now the handle of the spoon I was gonna use is greasy

>>15793428
>popcorn colonel

>>15790633
this is why I use an ice cube instead

>>15790823
kek. the virgin finger dip vs the chad indian street vendor who picks 300 degree chicken thighs out of boiling hot oil.

>>15793668
I'm not sure why they didn't go for the obvious chopstick instead of getting a wooden spoon's handle all greasy

>>15793540
I'm not an idiot, anon. I know ice expands when frozen. Is they by weight or volume?
