Cooked piranhas on 137 for about 2:30 hours. Then patted them dry and left in the fridge for a couple hours uncovered on a rack. Then brought the oil up to 400 degrees and dropped them in for about 90 seconds. The bigger pieces seemed like they weren’t getting fully warm inside so I’m not sure if I should’ve put a thermometer in and left them in the oil for a bit longer? Everyone seemed to like it

Mmmmm, piranhas. Nice jersey by the way.
Glass pans, somehow I’m afraid of those 😀
Frying in a glass pot seems like asking for trouble
I was really interested in the piranhas. I was pretty disappointed when I saw Picanha.
Looks good tho*
Deep frying makes me so nervous
You don’t need quite that much oil in a deep fry. There needs to be some head space for bubbles, so I like to only fill about 1/2 to 60% full.
Bruh. Get a bigger pot.
Way too much oil in there, and use a bigger pan. You’re going to burn your house down carrying on like that
Your balls must be 80 pounds and made of steel!
Get an actual deep fryer for things like this.
But I bet the food was good.
It’s okay to just use other cooking techniques, we don’t have to sous-vide everything and finish it every way.
Cleaning everything up afterwards makes this totally not worth it to me.
Frying in a nearly full, glass pot over open flame……………not bright
Deep frying with that much oil is super dangerous.
Also doing that in a glass pot makes it so much worse.
If the end temperature is too cold, then don’t put it in the fridge prior to deep frying it.
