can I french fry in it?

You can, but just add your choice of cooking oil! I heat up the oil a little at first. Be careful to pat the potatoes dry before putting them in the pan with the oil so they won't splatter, and watch over them as you fry. I have the Presto Electric folding fryer, and I have fried breaded chicken cutlets in oil, and they come out moist and delicious. I have also made French fries very successfully. Good luck!

Yep, I use it to fry all the time. I cook outside all summer and this is a great addition to my summer kitchen.

It's a food processor, so no to the fries. However you could do potato chip slices or wavy.

Unequivocally NO. That would be dangerous. You need an actual pressure fryer to do this. And they are available. Do a Google search (or Amazon).

you can use this for frying plantons or you can use it for fish. I have never used this for deep frying. It can also go in greens or green beans or flavor vegetables when cooking

No, you simply plug it in and unplug it when done. You can fry about 4 cups of raw potatoes or 4-5 pieces of meat at one time. If you overfill it, food will not come out as crispy.

No. You have to know what your doing though. One mess up and you could fry it. My husband did it.

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.

Definitely, I always remove the basket to fry chicken parts, onion rings, hash brown patties and fried green tomatoes. Wonderful fryer, best I've had and believe me I've had all the FAMOUS CHEF Ones and they can't hold a candle to this one.

You could if you cut it into smaller chunks. I keep a small jar of coconut oil inside if mine for frying. It works well. You could use a lightweight, small-diameter pan with this, but it pretty much comes with one (the "lid"). I love this cookset. Also, if you replace the plastic feet with bolts it can be used with wood. Fuel as well. This essentially makes it I tri-fuel system.

Sure does! The secret to frying anything in this is to do it in small batches and then transfer to a 375 or 400 degree oven. Keeps the item crisp and hot.

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.

Absolutely.Wok cooking, stir frying, or deep oil frying. Just rinse the oil off, wash it, and hang it to dry.

Yes you can. I don't have a wok either and I just use a frying pan with water in it

Yes, but check your fryer quarts and bird size. A lot of oil. I use mine for wok and cast iron cooking. I hope this answer helps.
