Hello, if its small fish like perch or catfish, about 6-8 pcs so they cook evenly. Larger fish probably 4-5, but whatever amount you use, you have be diligent when you first put them in and stir so they don't stick on the bottom. The rack is aluminum and things WILL stick if you just put them in and leave them to fry. I actually spray Pam cooking spray on the basket, all sides, (not an off brand either, you wont get the same results) to help cut down on the sticking. That works great. If you do french fries, I can get 2 big hand fulls of fresh cut french fries in the basket and the same applies, stir them until all sides are starting to cook to avoid sticking on the bottom. Hope this answer helps. Hello, if its small fish like perch or catfish, about 6-8 pcs so they cook evenly.

It depends on the size of the pieces. Small pieces you can probably do about 25 at a time.

I have only used it once to cook chicken, i usually cook fries and calamari, but you can cook about 6 to 8 small pieces of chicken , or 3 to 4 big pieces of chicken . This is a very good frier.

It depends on what size of item or items You're frying. Your best bet is to fill it with Water to judge the amt of oil you need to Use

I haven't tried to fry calzones but in my estimation depending on how big the calzone is you may be able to do it one at a time. This is where I would be doing some measuring.

I would say you can fry half a bag of fries (28-32 oz bag) at a time. Good size! Love it!

Hmm maybe? I think the portions would be too big for a fish and if its flake good, it would probably get messy and stuck.

It holds over two quarts of oil and can fry two to three cups of about anything. I use mine mainly for fish, perch, and drop in about two cups at a time, but for French fries I put in about three cups.

I reuse it once or twice depending on type of food I fried. I run it thru a strainer and refrigerate it. It's a nice little fryer for everyday use. If I was cooking for more than 2 people, it would be small. It's hard to keep things hot when frying multiple batches.

If it isn't too big... But it cooks very quickly so I find it is never a problem needing to make two or three batches... I love this fryer..

I buy a 5 gallon container and use about 3/4 between both sides. That brings it about 4-5 inches from the top. I do that so it doesn't overflow and cause a fire when I put whatever I'm frying into the hot oil. I still use mine and an loving it. I have fried up to 50lbs of fish and fries at one time.

This was a gift. I am unsure whether you can fry with it. Contact the manufacture on that question

Depends on how big? Plus you would have to take the thing that turns out or it would break you cod up in little pieces. I can put 15 - 20 wings in it or a half of bag of frozen fries if that helps.

You have to make sure that the water in the main aquarium is one inch below the top of the baby tank. Also for feeding the fry, I use tropical fish flakes and crumble it real fine between my thumb and index finger. The fry will eat that. Make sure it is real fine.

I usually cooked two at a time, but there was definitely room for a third or even fourth, depending on how much liquid you add. If you use frozen chicken, you need less liquid...it makes its own broth. Still, be sure to calculate space if you want to include onions or other veggies -- if you're doing that, stick with two. Or just chop the meat up in chunks or strips, stir-fry style!

Yes, this is a huuuge amount of food for my 9 bettas and definitely for one! In the past I have frozen the food and as long as it thaws out fully before feeding it is just fine. Some of my fish wouldn't eat this food but others loved it.

I do not know the exact BTU'S on the fryer but I will tell you this. I have a fishing trip every year usually involving 60 people. We used the fryer this past year for fish, potatoes and deep fried corn. The fryer worked to perfection. The oil temp stayed up and the oil afterwards looked like it did when it came out of the bottle. I would recommend this fryer to anyone and made the cooking time a whole lot easier.
