what is the highest temperature this fryer can go
272905
The dial goes up to 390 degrees. I normally use it @ 375 and I've checked it with a separate thermometer and it was right on.

It goes up to 400 degrees. I love my skillet. I cook just about everything in it. The removeable handles are a big plus as well.

I don't know if the unit is rated for that high a temp. The most it would normally handle is about 140 degrees.

The temp control is automatic and perfect in my opinion. My thermometer said it was 375-385, which is what I manually set my old fryer to. It wore out. I like the frydaddy better. It barely makes the olive oil smoke which is normal, but it does not burn the olive oil. Just unplug when done frying and the oil will last a long time. It heats up very quickly! Great fryer.

The unit may get warm not hot never had an issue with it being to hot on the sides I would recommend this fryer I just used it last night again and loved it!!!!!!!!!

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.

Assuming you let the oil cool down a lot first, yes, I just tried it with room temperature canola oil. I mention the temperature because I don't know how the rim and handle would react to the heat. Knowing that a lot of frying is in the neighbourhood of 325-375F and that certain plastics start melting in that range. That being said the description on Amazon states "resistant up to 430 degrees Fahrenheit". Aside from stock an bouillon, I also use it for yogurt and ricotta. The comment about cleaning is also valid for milk products.

400 degrees. Through trial & error I found 300-350 is best temp for my stir fry recipes.

It will reach max temperature, when you put the turkey in the fryer the temperature would drop drown and would not come back up. the heat from fryer melted the plastic on the temperature gauge.

There is only an off/on button. The heat is not adjustable. I'm not sure what the highest temp is at. However, it cooks great regardless.

Best answer I would have is -- low, medium, high ... similar to a electric fry pan. Low approx. 100 degrees / medium approx. 250 degrees / high approx. 380 degrees I hope this helps. Sharon S. - Pennsylvania

you could not control the temp with a fryer. need a regular temp controlled cooker

Don't know how high the heat rating but I own this set and use it everyday. Have not had any problems from boiling to frying. I would give it 2thumbs up!

Smoking from a fryer has more to due with what oil you use rather than the equipment. Peanut oil (refined) has a high smoking temp 450F, light olive oil 468F which is my favorite (be sure it's really olive oil!), Avocado Oil (refined) 520F but can be a bit pricey. BTW: Breville products are always top quality, I have several. - retired flavor scientist

Yes, you can absolutely use it for deep frying, as long as you're frying at no more than 450F. It doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Wattage calculation with AC is not that simple. I don't know if it is a full 2500W but my normal kitchen outlet breaker (I assume 20A but have not checked) did not trip at all when using this fryer and it heated the oil relatively quickly and brought it back to temperature quickly after adding food. I got it up to over 380F (measured with a thermometer).

ours was 120. It struggled to keep high temperature. Had to make sure amount of food being fried was very small batches.
