Can this be used for oil turkey fryers?

William I don't recamend it for heating oil because it gets really hot and may burn your oil. Mine will boil 10 gal of water in 20 min

I don't think that you can use it for any type of frying since it gets extremely hot. I believe the instructions also mention that it should only be used for boiling in large pots.

I do not know I do not own a turkey fryer, it did fit my presto deep fat fryer I wish I could send a picture

I would think you could use it for that. The pan is sturdy and not lightweight and deep enough to fry without having the oil too close to the surface. Obviously not for a large batch. I will say I haven't tried it. Otherwise those who have used it for this purpose can probably answer more accurately.

It's great for donuts and any type of deep frying. Just make sure you have a thermometer to clip to the side such as a candy thermometer to keep the oil at the right temp.

talk about an explosion!!! never stuff a turkey that is to be fried!!! you'll be buying a new kitchen and turkey fryer, you can't even stuff it to cook in the fryer that takes no oil, good luck...and please...NO Experimenting!!

I don't see why not, heavy duty construction should stand up to any burne. Much thicker than pots that come with a turkey fryer. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. There isn't much of a bend in the handle, so won't go very deep into a fryer. I hope that helps.

I would not use it for frying as the hot oil expands and there is not high enough sides, also the non stick coating can not take such high heat. Use your dutch oven to fry.

It is absolutely safe till 550F - I have used with peanut oil to fry turkey. No problem at all. Plus I can use a temperature that does not burn my oil. Love it!!

I would say no, designed for water, broths etc. would be very careful using oil in it, rubber O-rings. Look for a deep fryer..

No, in the instruction manual it says not to but it can be used for deep frying pieces of chicken or fish or the like.

It depends on what size of item or itemsYou're frying. Your best bet is to fill it withWater to judge the amt of oil you need toUse

I set it at 375 degrees and do 4 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes for any size turkey and it comes out great every time! I use this fryer for only turkey so I can not say if that would work for chicken but honestly I don't see why not.

Yes it can but works much better as a fryer. I've had mine for a year and we use it all the time. Including turkeys and chickens for the holidays. You can get a dutch oven with steam basket for much less money if all you need is a steamer.

We haven't used it to fry a turkey yet but will be next Saturday, don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

Yes it can be used just like any other deep fryer but its best to not use any flour in this unit. Mine's burnt out trying to cook chicken wing's
