    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.

      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.
