i was looking at the perfect yolk recipe and saw the hotel pan setup was almost like a confit, using the water to hold the temp stable.
This was done on a small scale with yolks, but could I do something similar if I wanted to confit a large amount of something, or would a hotel pan filled with that much oil be difficult to regulate with a water bath?
For example, if I wanted to confit a bunch of duck wings, could I fill a deep hotel pan with water, attach my circulator, and drop in a half sized hotel pan full of oil and submerge my product for a confit?
