Can this pot be used to fry a turkey

I actually bought it for brewing beer. It is taller and narrower (about 16" tall x 13.5 dia.) than most 9 gallon pots. This is good for me because it fits on my stove top. Obviously, that's not a factor in frying a turkey. It's good quality and has been great for me so far. It would probably fit a medium sized turkey. You might want a shorter, fatter one (maybe 15" dia.) for a big turkey.

No, in the instruction manual it says not to but it can be used for deep frying pieces of chicken or fish or the like.

No, in fact this is the only pot that can be used with it. The burner is spring loaded and only this pot will depress the spring. I have never deep fried a turkey on here, but I have done multiple homebrew batches. Extract and partial can be done on this, but not all grain. For a bigger pot, I bought a Bayou Classic KAB4 and it has been amazing. Just follow the instructions for lighting it and it lights every time.

I would think you could use it for that. The pan is sturdy and not lightweight and deep enough to fry without having the oil too close to the surface. Obviously not for a large batch. I will say I haven't tried it. Otherwise those who have used it for this purpose can probably answer more accurately.

I don't think you can use it for turkey fryer I read it in the instructions when I received mine as a warning these are low pressure hoses I think you may need to find out more on the hose you need to replace before ordering it !

Yes. Think of it as just a huge stock pot on top of a flame. I've used it for turkeys, low country boils, Brunswick stew....

yes... it is super light weight and therefore heats up really fast... I use it as a small fryer and the oil heats to 350 in under 5 mins. the basket is great for frying as you don't have to fish anything out with a slotted spoon. buy this pot, it'll change your life.

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 really don't know. I would look up a turkey fryer and compare the pot dimensions. It certainly is heavy enough.

sure, have used it to boil pasta and veggies. I would not fry with it though, although I am sure you could.

You can but it is not intended for frying and probably you will get everything sticked. Regards.

Yes, as long as the enamel is intact on the inside of the pot. That's what is great about this pot you can directly cook in it and can with it. Dual purpose :)

I used approximately 2.5 gallons on a 14.5 lbs turkey. Every turkey will be different. You have to put the unwrapped turkey in the pot and fill with water until the turkey is completely covered. Remove the turkey and mark the water line on the pot. That is how much oil will be required to fry that specific turkey.

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.

No, I use it mainly for frying but I assume that you could if you set the temp, put the lid on and monitor the roast. check the booklet that came with it

Yes you can fry other things besides a turkey and the cooking time depends on what you are cooking... Google would be able to let you know how long to cook lets say fish or chicken

I would think it would work just fine. Keep in mind that peanut oil is generally used for turkeys and that may be the best oil for this. The oil amount would depend on the amount being fried. Also, the wings will likely rise in the kettle with their lower weight. Leave plenty of room so an oil and wing runoff doesn't happen.
