Can I use this pot for deep frying, let's say with oil at temps around 375 degrees F?

I don't know what the official answer is but my sister deep fries with hers. I've never deep fried anything.

The warranty is VOID if you use them at Temps above 500 F (ruins the enamel) but 375F should be no problem!

I make lasagna in it...so I will say yes it can...at 375° at least. That's what I bake at.

Using a independent thermometer the unit will not reach 375 degrees Fahrenheit. I have not found household unit that will reach 375. I have fried rainbow trout, largemouth bass, crappie and panfish with this unit and they have all been crisp with and without the lid on. I believe the secret to crispy fried fish is letting the fish sit for 20 to 30 minutes after they are covered with batter on a wire rack before frying.

I don't think that you can use it for any type of frying since it gets extremely hot. I believe the instructions also mention that it should only be used for boiling in large pots.

The pan is pretty deep, so I don't see why not. I've done some pan frying but no deep frying in mine.

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.

yes, it can be used for cooking, but carefully. The burn point is only 350F (175C) which, for a high heat stir-fry, is too low. I used it for a finishing sauce on already cooked fish and vegetables.

The pot gets a little bit narrow at the bottom but yes you can certainly use it for deep frying small things

The non stick coating makes this product unsuitable for deep frying. You would be better off with a product made for this purpose. Non Stick coatings would be damaged by deep frying.

ANY cast iron can be used for deep frying. You would need to be careful of your oil temperature though. Cast iron tends to be slow to heat. It is easy to turn the stove up to bring something to the cooking temperature and then the cookware suddenly be too hot. It's best to remember with cast iron: cook it low and slow. You need to give it time to heat.

Never tried. I usually use iron or stainless steel cookware for deep frying.

I've only used it for deep frying so far but I don't see why not. It's your average bottom-heated non-stick pot.

Sure, I don't see why not? I have put other pots of the same material in the oven. But not higher then 400 degrees!. I hope I have helped you.

I would say no, designed for water, broths etc. would be very careful using oil in it, rubber O-rings. Look for a deep fryer..

This thermometer ranges from -58 to 572 F it should work,but I would be weary careful if you use it for that purpose.Frying oils are extremely hot,it can cause second degree burns instantly.

I don't think I would try to deep fry with this. It works ok to pan sauté. You have to cook slower and lower temp because it tends to burn. However, the problem with lower temp is it tends to absorb the oil more quickly. This stuff sucks up any "moisture" as it is, so probably would suck the oil up quickly now matter what the temp of the oil. I think I prefer cooking with oat FIBER (not oat bran or oat flour) over the coconut flour. I started a low carb diet 3 months ago and have ordered several different flours. So far the almond flour, flax meal and the above mentioned oat FIBER are the ones I have the most luck with. I don't think I would try to deep fry with this. It works ok to pan sauté.

yes, it is designed as a turkey fryer and should have no problems for deep frying. The valve on the bottom is nice for draining oil
