This particular item was a gift, but I own other Le Creuset cookware and yes, I can fry food in them.

You can make what is more like oven fries. There is a recipe that comes with the grill. As you know, true French-fries are cooked oil.

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.

Yes, anything you cook in a deep fryer can be cooked in this. That is what I have found.

You actually can, but I find that adding a touch (tea or tablespoon) of olive, rice bran or canola oil to this pan never hurts, especially when you want some carmelization, sheen and moisture of your cooked products (like onions, omelets, frozen potstickers, or whatever). Just be careful NOT to cook high heat items like a thick steak on non-stick surfaces- it won't come out as well as cooking over a grill or cast iron, and some discoloration will be left on some of the non-stick surface that may not come off; plus non-stick surfaced pans supposedly give off traces of carcinogens, when subject to very high heat. Good luck.

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!

Yes you can. At least I do, and so far no problem. It doesn't really stop the frying smell, but it avoids the splashing around.

I never tried that. Can definitely be used for frying, but don't know how it works for deep frying

Yes I can fry a small fryer all at one time. I also use it to make my cinnamon rolls it holds 6 large rolls perfect for sunday buffet. Made a apple cobbler in it for a friends family reunion they loved it;

You can, but there is no lip so grease would just run off the sides. I use cast iron skillets on my grill for meat.

Yes you can, see other comments. Unnfortunate, I gave up, because handling the heavy Dutch Oven and high temperature was too difficult for me ,77 year old)

You can, but I mix it with bread crumbs or something else when I fry something. You need to fry at a lower heat than normal or it will burn.

I don't see why not, as it is heat stable at high temps. And it doesn't have a strong flavor. However I personally use it for frying and sautéing and prefer baking with butter, coconut oil, or Palm oil.
