Since you are not supposed to use these pans with very high heat, I'm not sure deep frying is the best for this due to the heat. But they are great for stir frying. I never use heat higher than medium high (following recommendations), and have had no problems and they remain in great shape after 15 months of almost daily cooking. I think they are excellent pans overall, but I think you may be better served with other pans that can tolerate highest heat settings.

It seems to work well for pan frying but I do not know about deep frying. It has become my favorite pan for most everything.

The non stick coating makes this product unsuitable for deep frying. You would be better off with a product made for this purpose. Non Stick coatings would be damaged by deep frying.

I'm not 100% sure. This is not as deep as the fryer so I do not believe that it will sit far enough into the deep fryer, the handle will stop it from going down into the oil. I use it in a 5 quart dutch oven on the stovetop. Hope this helps.

It is a deep fat fryer, 350 deg F max. Works well. So, why not, if that temp is recommended? I have not explored Indian recipes.

Personally I would not...it is designed as a deep sauce and Fry Pan with quasi WOK capability. A Fry Daddy would be a better alternative. If you do Deep Fry it it heed the warning of not too high of heat setting. Certainly does a great job Frying Chicken and small batches of Fries but I don't think the intent is for Deep Frying large batches but that poses the question, "how deep?" If you are a party of one as myself certainly small Fry batches of Deep Fry are doable but it does have a handle so be careful. There are better alternatives for deep Frying IMO.

I don't think I would use this for deep frying; I think it's too small. It's 3 1/2 inches tall and 7 inches wide. What I love most about this pan is its ability to keep foods hot without them sticking to the bottom of the pan or burning. I have an electric stove and it's hard to control the heat (hate it!). I like how the handle fits in my hand and how easy it is to clean. I love this little pan! I myself do deep frying and use an electric, stand-alone fryer, or my large skillet. I wish I had a good Dutch oven to use for that purpose, also. I hope this helps.

Hello Christine, yes you can deep fry with the lid on or off, there is a window in the top of the lid so you can see what is being fried. I hope this answers your question.

Since it is a large deep fryer. I would have to believe that you can cook just about anything friable in this unit.My opinion only.....

No, we used it a few times for frying bacon, but it's not as deep as I wanted. If you cook a lot of bcon at one time, you may have to remove some of the grease or it will run over!

It would work for deep frying better than shallow frying I think. It stuck badly when I tried to fry chicken with a half inch or so of oil.

Sure! You can use it for steaming, boiling or deep frying. We used it last night for steaming veggies, seafood, and sausage. My dad uses his to deep fry turkey.

Yes, it is designed to deep fry with the cover on or off. The cover is clear so you can monitor the food.

I wouldn't. Deep frying is usually done at 350-375 degrees F and this might melt the plastic components in the handle ( some of the internal components appear to be made of lower temperature plastic) You can and often will saute' in the bottom of the pot before pressure cooking. And definitely never fry with the lid closed in anything other than a commercial vessel that was specifically made for this purpose. It can and probably will explode into a ball of flames!

I don't think it should be used as a deep fryer. The coating is anodized, and I don't know if it would hurt it, but I think hot grease over a period of time might be detrimental.

I am not sure. I have never tried to do that since I have a fry daddy. But I really love this skillet! I use it almost every day.

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.
