per the instructions the seals will not hold with not oil. I wanted it for popcorn, but if I do the rubber seal will be no good. You might want to take out the gasket then try it.

Yes you can fry anything you fry on top of the stove in the deep fryer and it will come out delicious!!

Yes, but I would still use a good old big cast iron skillet for frying chicken, if you have it.

Absolutely! Anything you fry in it, you have to apply your own judgment by checking in on the status from time to time. I fry everything with it, from fish to chicken, to turkey. Make sure you fry in the garage with the door open or outside besides the building. The smell is not fully filtered out.

Yes, my wife uses it to cook beef, chicken, and fish. This baby cooker is quite awesome.

I think you can, but would have to fit in and cook slowly with supervision. It's not a slow cooker

No. You have to know what your doing though. One mess up and you could fry it. My husband did it.

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. I just love this cooker. Browning and slow cooking all in one pan is awesome. And the pan is heavy, not light metal.

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.

I have only tried chicken and I would say no it does not fry just as good. You have to be careful not to over cook and you can't really put too much meat in at once for the best results. It does taste fine though so it is worth buying.

Yes, absolutely. Go to the Sistema website. They have a bunch of recipes to try and these will give you plenty of ideas for things you can cook in this great little cooker.

Basically yes. Oil must cover at least half of chicken piece being fried tho so when you turn it, both sides fry/cook evenly.

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.

Thank you for your interest in our Pressure Cooker. If KFC prepares their chicken in pressure cookers you might be able to mimic it. We do not know how their chicken is prepared.

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

YES, You can stir-fry and deep fry, but obviously the depth of the wok would limit what could be deep fried. You could deep fry some shrimp tempura, but I wouldn't attempt a turkey!
