Would this be good for flying fish and other things you would deep fry?

I bought this for my daughter and son-in-law and I know they fry things, including fish, in it. I'm not sure what you mean by 'deep frying'. I don't think it's deep enough to fry something that you'd want to submerge in oil. I know they love this fry pan.

Absolutely. I fry chicken, fish, chicken fried steak, and I make French fries in it. I also use in on a lower temp to make meatloaf, chicken and rice, and beef and noodles. (Now I'm hungry).

It would work for deep frying better than shallow frying I think. It stuck badly when I tried to fry chicken with a half inch or so of oil.

The maximum depth in the middle of the pan is 2 1/2 inches by quick check using a ruler. I did deep fry rolled up boneless chicken. I think it cooked it fairly evenly across the pan.

This is to shallow for deep fry--I suggest Presto Deep Fryer for fish and bone in chicken. This is great for boneless chicken and pork chops etc.

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.

Yes it can be used just like any other deep fryer but its best to not use any flour in this unit. Mine's burnt out trying to cook chicken wing's

sure you can deep fry we make panfried chicken all the time then you can make gravy out of the drippings

Yes. Definitely. It's good for cooking, it's not my favorite for frying food, it's slow and not hot enough.

I don't think it should be used as a deep fryer. The coating is anodized, and I don't know if it would hurt it, but I think hot grease over a period of time might be detrimental.

I would say if you are not wanting to use the required amount of oil you save your money and buy a decent deep frying pan and forget the deep fryer. These deep fryers are great if you have a lot to fry. I use mine for fish frys when we are feeding a lot of people. For just your use get a fry daddy or something small .

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.

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, definately. I use it to cook frozen fries and wings, both have to cook at 450 or higher.

I used this oil for everything I love it your food is so flavorful. I would use it in a deep fryer

Would take a very large amount of oil. .We never tried because we have a Deep Fryer. If you want to put that much oil in a 2-1/2" deep skillet and heat it,I would think you are asking for possible spill,burn,and a large mess if it spills. Cheapest deep fryer will fix this problem.

Maybe, but I'm not sure how safe that would be. If the oil was only 1/2" deep it might be okay. The temperature should go high enough, but it is not designed for it. I would look at a dedicated deepfryer instead.

It seems to work well for pan frying but I do not know about deep frying. It has become my favorite pan for most everything.

Hello Srilatha P. , The answer to your question would be a definite NO, it cannot be used for deep frying .

I would not use this for deep frying. It is really for the meat temperature so I doubt it goes up to like 400 degrees that you would want to deep frying. You should have an oil thermometer and this for deep frying. The oil thermometer would attach to the side of what ever you have your oil in like a turkey fryer or stock pot because it will get really hot and you wouldn't want to handle it but will still want to keep your oil at the proper temp. This would be good for checking the meat temperature during the cooking process by lifting your meat out of the oil and checking the internal temp.

Personally I would not...it is designed as a deep sauce and Fry Pan with quasi WOK capability. A Fry Daddy would be a better alternative. If you do Deep Fry it it heed the warning of not too high of heat setting. Certainly does a great job Frying Chicken and small batches of Fries but I don't think the intent is for Deep Frying large batches but that poses the question, "how deep?" If you are a party of one as myself certainly small Fry batches of Deep Fry are doable but it does have a handle so be careful. There are better alternatives for deep Frying IMO.
