All right guys tonights the night its going down but i have a quick question. This may seem dumb but i have two thermometers one readying the temp in the crock pot and one for reading the temp of the oil in the glass I'm keeping it in but my problem is that i cant keep my candy thermometer in the crock pot at the same time because it wont fit so i have to open the lid take the glass out and tilt it to measure the temp of the oil which causes the temp of the oil to drop and the temp inside the crock pot which i would like to avoid.

Now my question is should the temp of the crock pot and the oil be the same because if so then i could just use the thermometer that i have sitting in the crock pot.

whew sorry for the long post
