Would a low simmer be atleast 350 degrees?
I have a gas stove and it goes 1 - 10 on the settings. Im trying to get to about 350 where oil will bubble slightly but not boil.
Thanks

Gas mark 4 is 350. Now here's a hint, oil does not boil, what you put in it cause a boil from the moisture that is being extracted. 350 is to lower for frying, when you drop in your food product the tempoture will drop, your foods will absorb oil untill you oil has come back to "frying" temp. Soggy oily food. To test your oil's temp, a cube of bread about the size of a dice will sink then return to the surface and be brown in 20 seconds, oils ready for frying.
