I think it might be worth trying this with a lighter weight pot. Cast iron pots are fantastic for many applications, but temperature control isn't one of them; they have extremely high thermal mass and very poor thermal conductivity. So it is probably throwing off the algorithm that the One Top uses to regulate temperature.

 

Doubtful.  The probe should be measuring the temperature of the contents accurately.  The Thermapen should agree with the reading.

 

There may be an overshoot/undershoot issue, but ultimately the oil should be PID-controlled into a steady state temp.
