can this product be used as pressure fryer?

I doubt that the results would be good. I think the food would be grease soaked by the time the cooker came up to pressure and the pressure released. It is a very comfortable cooker to use, meaning that once you get used to where. Your stove needs to be set to hold the pressure., it stays where you want it.

Frances, I must tell you I don't even know what a pressure fryer is! I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes, if you wanted to. It can be used for many things. I sometimes will use peanut oil, my oil of choice for frying, and then deep fry some chicken in it. The height is great for splatter control, and pressure cooking the chicken reduces the cooking time.

Yes, although I have never used it as such. It is advertised as being a pressure fryer. We use it a a pressure cooker. One thing though, we seem to have problems from time to time with it sealing. You need to make sure that the seal in the lid is clean and seated properly before each use. I think you can also buy replacement seals for it.

No, this weight is set for 8 psi. I use it as a pressure FRYER only (chicken wings).

It depends on what size of item or itemsYou're frying. Your best bet is to fill it withWater to judge the amt of oil you need toUse

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

I would think if it can be used in a pressure cooker, why not a crock pot. It is a nice heavy one, not thin.

I suppose it could, but you would have to bring a cooking pan and oil, and that would defeat the purpose of the unit.

if you only use oil and don't have much or any additional liquid to generate steam, I'd speculate this is unlikely to work. Plus the presence of large amounts of steam is unlikely to contribute in a good way to crunchy fried chicken.

I bought it because many people mentioned that they used it for quick frying. You have to decide what you believe are the dangers with the nonstick and "high" temps, and what temps trigger those dangers.

If you are talking pressure cooker, I would not. Although it is very sturdy, pressure cookers are temperamental, so to speak. It can be used with a steamer very well . Hope this helps.

Not if you only purchased the pressure cooker. I suggest checking your order details.

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 sauting and prefer baking with butter, coconut oil, or Palm oil.

Not a good idea. The burner is quite small (5 3/4" diameter). You would risk having your pressure cooker fall off. I'd suggest a larger unit.

Yes but be careful not to disturb the heating elements or let food rest on them and burn-so whatever you are frying it is going to have to float-therefor I would always use the basket with this model with exposed elements.

Yes it can but works much better as a fryer. I've had mine for a year and we use it all the time. Including turkeys and chickens for the holidays. You can get a dutch oven with steam basket for much less money if all you need is a steamer.
