Does this work well for deep frying fish? Want to use outside if I works well. Thanks

I have not tried frying fish - yet. The key to this fryer is to allow the temperature to reach max, then control the quantity of food placed in the basket as the temperature gets pulled down quickly if the quantity is too much. Always allow the oil to heat back up after removing the food from the fryer before adding more.

Frying fish can be an approximate or an exacting endeavor. This appliance is small and inexpensive. I wouldn't consider a large-scale fish fry, but it's your call. Outside? Why not grill the fish?

Yes but make sure to put more oil in it and let it heat up fully before putting in the fish.

Yes, it works fine. Double checked the readings with a regular deep fry thermometer.

We use it for frying bacon and cooking pancakes all of the time. We were also concerned with how well it would work for frying bacon. It has a very shallow lip (1/4 inch), so you have to be careful with grease building up, but it works just fine if you drain the grease a couple of times during cooking.

Have not used them for turning fish as of yet, but have used them for frying zucchini, chicken, hot dogs, corn dogs. I really like these tongs. Good luck!!!

Yes, you can absolutely use it for deep frying, as long as you're frying at no more than 450F. It doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Yes! I have used it to fry fish snd stir frys. But the oil gets hotter faster. So be careful using it. I love it.

that's a slight issue, depending on your tank configuration. The unit should be slightly above water so that there is no way for the fry to escape from above, better, for other fish or aquatic animals to not get in from above, sometimes the lid even floats away. I use Hikari baby guppy food, really nice and the fry love it. Just a little goes a LONG ways. I have since stopped using this product and bought a small Aquaeon 2 gallon tank to transfer all the frys so that there is no possible other aquatic animals that eat your fry and also a LOT easier to feed

I agree with Kim I have only used mine for deep frying and it should work on any cooking method but for me a smaller thermometer that can be tucked away in a drawer would be more convenient for daily use as this is a very large thermometer that sits in a deep pot and requires a large storage area.

I have only used this for in the oven dishes and on top of the stove dishes. Have not used it for deep frying, not sure I would. I have used it to brown onion, and meat. Hope this helps.

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!

Yes it is very good for this. I use a cast iron grilling pan of frying pan to fry them. It is easy to control heat so you can cook slow. This way you can cook clear through if you want with out burning. Then turn up heat to finish outsideWhen done frying can turn heat down to 140 degrees to keep warm till ready to eat. This is one of the best things I have in kitchen.

I use this feeder for fry. I crush up flakes very fine and adjust it accordingly. It does a great job. I have two of them.

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.
