I finally caved and got a fry thermometer after 8 years of guessing
Ngl I always thought those thermometers were a waste of money. Like just look at the oil and you can tell right? Last Tuesday I tried to make tempura for the first time and ended up with this sad grey greasy mess. My wife grabbed one at Target for $12 and I used it tonight for chicken wings. Perfect golden crispy in 9 minutes flat. I feel dumb now. Anyone else hold out on basic gear forever?

Funny thing is, the oil temperature is only half the battle. That thermometer also taught me my stove burner runs way hotter than it says on the dial, so now I know exactly where to set it.

Man that first batch of tempura is brutal. I did the same thing with donuts a few years back. Thermometer changed everything for me too. Cheap fix that saves a lot of frustration.
