Can I fry stuff over this portable burner using frying pans?

Yes! I've done it before but the burner on the right doesn't get as hot. I think I isolated much of my cooking to the left side.

You can do either method but I just use it as a weight and flip. Heating it by itself can drip grease (from seasoning cast iron) onto the burner and I don't want the mess. The handle gets very hot so be sure to use an oven mitt...ove gloves are great!!!

Yea sure, why not. Its a grill , just like any back yard grill but compact to take anywhere. You can use a pan or even a grill plate. If your going to use it solely for pan frying, just get a camp stove...If your going to use it also for a camp grill/tailgating grill..its perfect.

I've found out that you have to match the large fry pan with the size of the burner. Otherwise, you'll end up with a "hot spot" in the center of the pan. If you can move the food around easily, it would probably not be a problem. I have a WOLF stove at home, and use a Camp Chef 90 when camping, and both have large burner rings that will heat this large fry pan evenly. I've never used electric stoves, but other than the weight of a fully loaded pan, I don't know why it wouldn't.

Small burners should not be used to on high to bring the PC up to temp, the PC might reflect the heat back to glass surface and break it. Your milage may vary, but I imagine if it was already up to pressure, you could use the small burner to hold it at that temperature, as it doesn't take that much heat to hold it at pressure. At your own risk of course.

I've used mine on a very small portable propane burner and fuel tabs and had no problem with heating and cooking. Just had to watch the heat and make sure to stir because the pans are a little thin and get hot fast. Good set for the price I think.

you can, but this burner would be tremendous overkill for something like that.

I don't can, but I don't see why not. Once plugged in, it is just like any other "stove" burner... I hope this helped :-)

I think all burners heat most effectivley on top of the burner that is the same size. If you want it to heat a larger pan it would be advisable to get a aluminum pan or a copper bottom pan to distribute the heat more evenly...........Ken

The pan is pretty deep, so I don't see why not. I've done some pan frying but no deep frying in mine.

absolutely fine to use over gas burner, we do it all the time, and in the oven. However, be careful with the lids, because they do not appear to be the same quality glass as the pots. One of ours shattered when subjected to rapid cooling

It is totally possible. I'd suggest getting some kind of tray if your burner doesn't have any. (Mine did.) You'll need to pile it up fairly high if you want the gas to be dispersed through it. Two bags, I'd say. And you should be aware, this stuff is like broken bits of safety glass. If you want a "pretty" effect, I'd spend more money and get the polished kind of fire-glass.

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).

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.

Qualified yes. Remember these are light weight pans for backpacking; not quite like cooking in the home kitchen. I use a burner metal pad to help even out the heat and lessen over heating. Works great.(my metal pad is the bottom of another older fry pan cut out to fit my stove)

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.....
