Can you pressure cook with oil in this pan? e.g. fried chicken

Unequivocally NO. That would be dangerous. You need an actual pressure fryer to do this. And they are available. Do a Google search (or Amazon).

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.

No, it is a high pressure fryer and cooker. Teflon may not survive the pressure frying temps. Also, when pressure frying always have a fire extinguisher at arms reach and wear clothing that covers all skin areas, just in case. I have pressure fried with this many times and it is built for that, but better safe than sorry. It is all thick walled stainless to handle the pressures.

Yes you can, and the drain incorporated in the pan is great for draining the excess oil.

Yes. I cook chicken and rice in it all the time in my electric pressure cooker.

I think you can fry in this pan. I've mostly just cooked hamburgers in mine. Just make sure the chicken is well done in the center. The nice thing about the grill pan is that the meat doesn't lay in the oil and splatter everywhere. Good luck!!

We generally warm the pan before adding oil or butter but you can also warm it with oil on it, i don't think it will spoil the pan or food!

it is a thing of great beauty my pressure cooker!you can,you need some liquid or stock.i use a few carrots to lift the meat off the bottom of the pan.

Initially, yes, you can. However over time (beyond 6 mo maybe?) you will need just a little oil, such as putting a little on a paper towel and wiping bottom of pan with it. I love these pans though!

You don't need oil. This is a great non-stick pan. Enjoy your oil free cooking! what you described as jel, is the non-stick coating.

I think this depends on how much oil you use and what you are cooking and if the oil splatters outside the pan onto the hot burner because this pan has very low sides. There can be some smoke and it can get a little messy.

Good question. Don't tell anyone, but I use oil in my Anolon skillet and it hasn't hurt a thing. :)

Yes it's more of a problem. You're not supposed to use spray oil so I just use a more oil/butter when cooking, then soak the pan in warm soapy water before cleaning. Sometimes I just soak overnight and clean in the morning. Use a Teflon scrubby pad or brush to clean.

yes, i've done it a few times. don't put too much oil in and it will leave batter fragments at the bottom so pay attention. it cooks chicken fast.

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

Technically the answer is yes but you certainly will need to use some kind of lubricant (butter, oil) or it will stick badly. This is not a non-stick pan so you will always have to use a lubricant to avoid sticking.

You really need to follow the instructions, preheat pan on medium and use little oil and food shouldn't stick. Hope this is helpful.
