Can it strain deep fryer oil?

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.

I'm sure it can but the used oil would probably ruin the strainer. I would probably try a cheap mesh strainer and then afterwards a coffee filter. I would definitely NOT use this on used oil. You might have a really difficult time degreasing this expensive piece of equipment afterwards and it's cheaper to buy a gallon of oil than it is to buy one of these!

Yes, although my experience straining oil with it is that you will want to clean it with very hot soapy water as quickly as possible, otherwise it will solidify in the fine mesh making 1000% harder to clean. We have even used it to strain raw unfiltered honey and have not had any problems if we clean it promptly.

I would say no, the coating should be dry to use this machine. Drop something wet into regular hot oil in a fry daddy.

This fryer has the element right in the oil so no you can't do anything but fry in it. It's not like you could use it like a crockpot/slow cooker.

I'm not sure how well it would work. I've had trouble with this one getting too hot in the cable linking the probe to the monitor. That can destroy the connection. I don't know if the oil in your deep fryer would be at a higher or lower temperature than inside a grill. If it's lower, it may work just fine. If it's higher (I grill at about 350 degrees F) it would probably not work.

Yes. I love this fryer and use it a lot. I also ordered another one for the beach house...I liked it that much!

Yes, but check your fryer quarts and bird size. A lot of oil. I use mine for wok and cast iron cooking. I hope this answer helps.

Yes, it is designed to deep fry with the cover on or off. The cover is clear so you can monitor the food.

Of course, although with the lid remaining in place it is somewhat minimized. To my knowledge there is no deep fryer made that does not do this. I have a patio off my kitchen where I use this device.

Not sure what that is? assuming you are asking if it fits in a Turkey oil Fryer? It would but the fryer has a basket which lifts out when you are done were this would have to be manually pulled up as it does not have a handle. It works great on a Big Green Egg or Weber style BBQ as the Turkey is setting vertically.

No, you could only put certain amount of oil, and that's is not deep enough to fry whole chicken.

Good. I don't think you can go wong. This strainer is very nlce. My husband favors this one over all others he's had for his fish fryer.

It depends on what size of item or items You're frying. Your best bet is to fill it with Water to judge the amt of oil you need to Use

i would not use if for a deep fryer. The digital part is plastic and it would melt if attached to fryer or if left near heat source. It is used for checking meat temps. Package says not to use in oven or grill.

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

I don't have this one but what I do with the deep fryer I use is buy all white paper towels, line a strainer and sit it over a large pan. I strain the oil into the pan and at the same time clean the inside of the fryer out. I usually reuse the oil until it starts to make the food taste oily (about 7-10 times reuse depending on what you fry).

Would take a very large amount of oil. .We never tried because we have a Deep Fryer. If you want to put that much oil in a 2-1/2" deep skillet and heat it,I would think you are asking for possible spill,burn,and a large mess if it spills. Cheapest deep fryer will fix this problem.

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.
