For those who never tried to make candy:

Actually? Now I’m really curious…. What is the pot for? I assume the donuts/fish is for frying oil temp
Is that for frying potatoes?
Little high for frying potatoes, I don't see a modern setting for "pot".
High end candy making is for light and dark caramel.
Maybe it means your thermometer is accidentally touching the bottom of the pot and isn't accurate?
I suspect not, since it was on the bottom. Incidentally, it runs cold by about ten degrees f. (While making it it was okay for checking for when I got past the water boil-off)
That's to help you get the munchies to eat all the awesome treats you'll make.
Potato chips.
I just checked, French fries are done at 300+350, and chips 375- it’d between the fish and donut bits.
Actually? I don’t know if any oils that don’t smoke at that temp.
You know how it's sometimes kind of hard to find people to eat all your baked goods when you're on a baking kick? Bake yourself and then it's easy to eat them all yourself.
Gonna guess it's shorthand for potatoes?
I’m far more concerned why fish is on here, but no other meats are
Deep fry oil temp
