Deep fry oil temp

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.

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)

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?

For those curious, making KAF’s Apple Cider Caramels

Edit: I used generic apple cider vinegar, cuz that’s what I had. In any case the flavor is there and it’s at thread stage,

Edit 2: it’s out. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/27ae3c8e-4b12-4de6-a0af-798ee4e134bf.jpeg

Might have gotten it out a bit too soon- the digital meter was saying 245-250(grr) and it’s a hair on the soft side. It lost a bit of the apple flavor compared to when it was at thread temp… if you want a sharp hit, maybe add some more of the cider vinegar. The flavor is still there, but iat thread it was (tart) apple->Carmel, now it’s carmel-> apple

I knew a guy who once engineered a continuous yogurt-making machine… (maybe even the guy whose machine is in all the yogurt shops,) he was a engineer, not a biologist… but… you might be onto something.

There were some interesting aspects of engineering. Not nearly as many as he thought…

Wait… I’m there god?

Okay they don’t sound so bad.

(Actually, they sound worse. I’d make a shitty god.)

Not when your own weapon touches you because they knocked your thrust aside. Or because you shuffled a awquardly in a passing step and they attacked.

It has zero reach advantage because it’s not actually a stave, meaning it has exactly zero of the real advantages staves have.

One of the weapons I’ve wanted to see make live action were the discblades as used by the Zeizon Sha. as far as a character’s load out, one big one, and dozes of, like wrist-bangle-thingies, used in a telekinetic sort of fuck-you.

I’m purposefully ignoring the inquisitor’s toys… I’m pretty sure they were actually a joke. (especially at the point that that one dude… used it like a helicopter rotor…)

The problem with double bladed lightsabers is that they have none of the good aspects of a staff of the same length. Keep in mind, pretty much whatever a lightsaber’s blade touches is going to get seared or slagged. Thrusting with one blade, means the other is very awkwardly close to your side. Then, you can’t really do vertical strikes or parry vertical strikes. And the “Oh, but you can strike much faster… BAM BAM BAM BAM!!!” thing… well, that’s about all you can do. Also, a single bladed lightsaber is going to parry those individual and move to the next both faster and more efficiently than you can strike.

Personally, I’d go something more like the concept art for Darth Bane’s Glaive-thing. Maybe a collapsing haft for a second side. You can see the obvious advantage in this HEMA video.

And rebels. (I actually loved the scene where Obi owns him for a second time.)

It’s that lightsaber of his that pisses me off. It’s stupid. It’s like…. Worse than just having one blade.

“today, the sentient mold asked for more water, and some more bread to grow on” is not something you leave lying around for the sentient mold to read!

(It’s all fun and games until they start engaging in biowarfare…)

Just to clarify… the coffe cup is the science experiment?
