    Default playing with new tempering setup

    Here is my new tempering setup I have been playing with.

    I took the bi metallic thermostat/switch out of the fry daddy, and am using a pid and relay to control the thing.

    It holds the temps very steady, a lot less variation than my toaster oven.

    I have peanut oil in it right now, it seems to do ok up to 450F.

    Tempering in oil is not an original idea. Bob Allman's setup is what got me thinking about it.

    I thought Max is also doing that. Or experimenting with that.

    The steel does not change color, it is under the oil and away from the oxygen and does not form the oxides.
