Can you use this pan as a frying pan since it doesn't have a long handle?

Yes I can fry a small fryer all at one time. I also use it to make my cinnamon rolls it holds 6 large rolls perfect for sunday buffet. Made a apple cobbler in it for a friends family reunion they loved it;

The sides of this skillet are not high enough to hold enough oil to deep fry - approximately 2" high. Heated oil expands so it would be unsafe to use any more than 1/2" of oil in a shallow pan like this due to the probability of oil overheating and splattering/spillling out when food is added in. To safely deep fry you would need to use a boiler/pan with 5" or 6" sides so that oil won't spill over the sides when food is added in the heated oil.

You could possible remove the handle. You would need a tool of some sort for sure and will take some muscle too but, I don't believe it would be impossible. I do like this pot. Have used it to cook chicken and my famous stew.

no long handle. the wok heat up slower than regular wok, but once got to high temp, it will stay hot for a long while.

I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing no. The handle would get hot, I'm sure. It's not cast iron like the rest.

You can but the coating comes off and the pan bends because it is so thin. This is a terrible pan. Its too thin and the coating came off after one use. It certainly is not worth the $19.99 I paid. In fact I have donated the pan, refuse to use again. Sorry I could not be more positive.

I'm not sure, but looking at the pan, I'd definitely say it's not the kind of pan you'd cook a high volume of liquid in. It's more shallow, like a true frying pan. I love this pan for large frittatas and dishes like that. Hope that helps.

I have not used this pan for this purpose. Perhaps the pan will warp. Why don't you just try it and find out.

I would be afraid to as it would get really hot and may burn the bottom. It doesn't feel like a heavyweight steel/metal you find in a pan.

I would think so. Mine gets very hot....hot enough to fry. I would suggest using a pan with a thick bottom so that the heat is more uniform.

Absolutely. I believe you could cook rocks in this pan and not hurt it. The most durable non stick fry pan I have ever owned.

If you mean flipping w/o a spatula or some other utensil, it wouldn't work - the pan is too heavy.

You can but the thumb recess is not very deep for larger hands I think it could be a problem. Hammer and Icepick seem to be better suited to the handle.

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.

You can, but I would think you would want to clean the handle from time to time. It has a heat tolerance of around 400 degrees F or so, it would survive most stovetop temperatures, but I feel it would last longer and stay nicer if it was just used to move a hot skillet rather than stay on it through heat and cool. Your question is one that I feel it would be just personal preference as when to use it.

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

Yes you can. I don't have a wok either and I just use a frying pan with water in it
