is the type of fryer in which the excess batter will fall to bottom and not burn

Yes, I have three of them and have used them since 2009. I have the 9-gal and 5-gal version for doing large fish fries for local nursing homes and just recently bought the 2.5 SS version for use around my home.

It is just that, you can open the grease drain and catch the bottom cooking oil and it is not even hot, great fryer.

Yes it heats from the middle so batter that falls to the bottom does not burn

I don't think so. There isn't much of a bend in the handle, so won't go very deep into a fryer. I hope that helps.

The fryer holds a set amount of oil, there's a fill line. If you overfill the fryer with oil, it will bubble over when you're cooking anything. I've made fries and chips in mine and I don't adjust the amount of oil for any particular type of food; I just fill it to the line. I would guess it's about a quart (4 cups).

Yeah - I use mine on a turkey fryer. If anything I have to keep it turned down as my burner is capable of producing more than enough heat. Hope that helps!

I bought this to use with our Granpappy Elite fryer. You have to bend the handle so that the basket will reach the bottom, but the handle was long enough that I could also make another bend further down the handle so that you can still use it without a hot pad. It is exactly what I was looking for!

We don't have this fryer anymore because it got so hot on the outside, seemed kind of wobbly too; we were afraid our kids were going to end up getting burned if they used it. While you might be able to use it without the basket, your oil may need changing more often since bits that that basket would ordinarily catch would instead float down to the bottom where they may not be able to be retrieved.

I haven't used mine in a long time but I not recall it having a fat bottom. I would not recommend it on an electric stove.

This will work using the Smaller Steamer because it is made with a wider lip around the edge which prevents the steamer from going all the way down in the pot. The larger steamer goes all the way down in the pot so the larger steamer isn't suitable, its more for deep frying.

No. It's very light in flavor. It does not over power the food which is why I use it whenever I crave fried foods.

The element is submersible and goes under the basket in the oil and is attatched to the controls outside of the basket. see video below If it wasn't in the oil, it would take alot of heat to get the frying temp high enough to fry such as a gas stove with a dutch oveh and a wire laddle to scoup out frys, If you dont like this than get a presto electric wok and fry in it like tempora and use a wire laddle to extract the fried food. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZmBD4XlilQ

If it isn't too big... But it cooks very quickly so I find it is never a problem needing to make two or three batches... I love this fryer..

It is a deep fat fryer, 350 deg F max. Works well. So, why not, if that temp is recommended? I have not explored Indian recipes.

When you assemble the unit, the heating element sits in the oil. There is about a 1/2 to 1 inch space between the bottom of the element and the reservoir, so any crumbs from the food that's frying fall to the bottom of the reservoir. Cleaning the element is easy to hand wash..

Hi Leslie unfortunately I ordered it for someone I am not sure what model fryer they used. I will try to find out and respond to you.

I had a Fagor and HATED it. It had no bottom pan to keep the food off the bottom and no matter what I did, food was always overcooked or burned on the bottom. I called customer service who told me I should have 3 burners set at low, medium, higher medium, and to move the pressure cooker as it heated up, and for this reason did not need a bottom pan. What a crock! I now have a Presto aluminum and couldn't be happier. It has a bottom pan and I use it to cook all sorts of things. The microwave, blender and pressure cooker are my three most used kitchen appliances. I can also use my Presto for fruitcakes, canning, English style puddings (which are like a cake).
