Can you deep fry in this cooker?

Yes. But it depends on what. My old cooker's bottom was melted due to my friend's carelessness in cooking. So, I bought a new one. Since the old one was still intact even after the bottom induction support got melted away, I am using the old one for deep frying. It's a stainless stell, it will hold that heat for sure.

You definitely can. It is a stainless steel so it should not be a problem. However, make sure you set it on a medium flame because the handles can sometimes go bad with continuous exposure to high heat. But the body of the cooker itself is of a very good quality steel and can be used as pan for sautéing, as pressure cooker and of course for deep frying too.

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

Pan Frying OK. Deep Frying Absolutely NOT! It isn't deep enough. Think electric fyring pan. If you fry your chicken in a regular frying pan this will be OK. If you really want to submerge you chicken in hot oil then get an electric deep fryer.

Yes it will fry burritos or corn dogs and french fries, it is deep enough. I even fry chicken pieces in it.

Yes you can fry with the lid on. There is NO charcoal filter. I still use the deep fryer in the garage to avoid having the house smell like oil

Yes, you can deep fry battered food.That is what my wife uses the deep fryer for. She makes shrimp tempura or sweet potato tempura with it.

you can use this for frying plantons or you can use it for fish. I have never used this for deep frying. It can also go in greens or green beans or flavor vegetables when cooking

Yes you can fry anything you fry on top of the stove in the deep fryer and it will come out delicious!!

Yes, you can deep fry battered foods. The basket should be lowered all the way into the oil before adding the food to be fried, and done to a golden brown before the basket is raised to avoid sticking to the bottom of the basket in case it hasn't quite finished cooking. You can also use tongs to remove items to test for doneness without raising the whole basket at once. Delicious, but expensive as I use only light olive oil for frying!

You can never deep fry in a pressure cooker, if that's what you mean (it is a fire hazard). You can saute the chicken in oil first, but then you must still cook it with at least one cup of any liquid except oil, such as stock or wine.

The pot that comes with it is too small, but I don't know why you could not use a larger pot to deep fry a turkey.

No, in fact this is the only pot that can be used with it. The burner is spring loaded and only this pot will depress the spring. I have never deep fried a turkey on here, but I have done multiple homebrew batches. Extract and partial can be done on this, but not all grain. For a bigger pot, I bought a Bayou Classic KAB4 and it has been amazing. Just follow the instructions for lighting it and it lights every time.

Approximately 12-13" wide, and deep enough to hold 5 gallons of oil to deep fry two baskets of food at a time.....the capacity info stated 4-gallons, but we did use nearly 5 gallons to make the oil deep enough. If you keep the temperature in the 350-375 degree range and keep the oil at the correct level, you will really find this cooker to be the perfect complement to your cooking experience.

It's fine no worse than frying something in a pan . It's a real nice deep fryer we love it !!

I'm not sure. I have never used it for deep frying. It is only two (2) inches deep. The temperature control seems accurate. It might work.

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.
