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!

Haven't tried it for that yet. But if it works for deep frying, and other high temp items it should be OK if you are making enough to be able to suspend the end in without touching the bottom of the pan to insure a good temp reading. I do prefer this type over the old glass therm I use to have. Hope this helps.

I would not use it for frying as the hot oil expands and there is not high enough sides, also the non stick coating can not take such high heat. Use your dutch oven to fry.

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

Since you are not supposed to use these pans with very high heat, I'm not sure deep frying is the best for this due to the heat. But they are great for stir frying. I never use heat higher than medium high (following recommendations), and have had no problems and they remain in great shape after 15 months of almost daily cooking. I think they are excellent pans overall, but I think you may be better served with other pans that can tolerate highest heat settings.

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.

I agree with Kim I have only used mine for deep frying and it should work on any cooking method but for me a smaller thermometer that can be tucked away in a drawer would be more convenient for daily use as this is a very large thermometer that sits in a deep pot and requires a large storage area.

I bought it because many people mentioned that they used it for quick frying. You have to decide what you believe are the dangers with the nonstick and "high" temps, and what temps trigger those dangers.

I use it at 350 all the time with no issue. Can't imagine 375 would be a problem, but have not used it at that temperature.

Yes, that's probably best anyway. You are supposed to cook on lower temperatures with this cookware.

I don't think I would use this for deep frying; I think it's too small. It's 3 1/2 inches tall and 7 inches wide. What I love most about this pan is its ability to keep foods hot without them sticking to the bottom of the pan or burning. I have an electric stove and it's hard to control the heat (hate it!). I like how the handle fits in my hand and how easy it is to clean. I love this little pan! I myself do deep frying and use an electric, stand-alone fryer, or my large skillet. I wish I had a good Dutch oven to use for that purpose, also. I hope this helps.

Although I personally have never used it at more than 400 degrees, I know that there should be no problem. Happy cooking!

I don't think it should be used as a deep fryer. The coating is anodized, and I don't know if it would hurt it, but I think hot grease over a period of time might be detrimental.

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

I would not use this for deep frying. It is really for the meat temperature so I doubt it goes up to like 400 degrees that you would want to deep frying. You should have an oil thermometer and this for deep frying. The oil thermometer would attach to the side of what ever you have your oil in like a turkey fryer or stock pot because it will get really hot and you wouldn't want to handle it but will still want to keep your oil at the proper temp. This would be good for checking the meat temperature during the cooking process by lifting your meat out of the oil and checking the internal temp.

I have not tried, but the directions indicate that you can. Since its a wok you would have a shallow pool of oil, not a deep vessel. From personnel experience, it might be easier to use a Dutch oven on a cooktop. One thing for sure: this wok gets HOT! Should keep the oil from getting too cool after adding food. Just fry in small batches.
