That’s literally a temperature you would cook meat with
What do you think people are made of?
TIL, videos saying "cook meat at 180°" actually meant 180°F and not 180°C.
Now I have to check what my induction stove means when it reads 180 in deep frying mode.
Afaik it means °C usually, but when boiling meat it will be cooked at 100°C give or take.
But since well done steak is supposed to be 71°C, everything hotter than that would sooner or later cook the meat.
Considering that Google says 350°F - 375°F for deep frying and that I am in a °C country, I would lean more this way.
Of course, I have never cooked meat and have no idea what deep frying meat at 180°C would do.
Ah, I don't know about deep frying, I was speaking about boiling, baking, and air frying, rather. Maybe my point is not valid in that case
Hot air/gas, hot water/liquid, and a hot solid behaved very differently. The numbers depend a lot on what's being measured. There's also a big variable of time.
The cheap induction stove is not really measuring anything.
Its PWM has been tuned to get to the temperature the user selects, under whatever testing conditions they had while R&D. The displayed temperature is just the user selected temperature.
But setting it to 120(whatever unit) manages to make good enough french fries, so that's fine by me.
