Can I submerge the probe and part of the cord in a deep fryer? I deep fry turkey's at 350 degrees.

Degrees are degrees, whether it be air, oil or water. This one is rated above 600 degrees. But, I have only used it in conventional oven.

Hello Srilatha P. , The answer to your question would be a definite NO, it cannot be used for deep frying .

I don't deep fry because high temps break down the benefits of coconut oil. I do pan fry on med heat though.

Since it is a large deep fryer. I would have to believe that you can cook just about anything friable in this unit.My opinion only.....

I have not used a thermometer, but i have used this for deep frying. i bought it exclusively for deep frying outdoors (extension cord not included). works well, i would estimate it gets up to 350 comfortably.

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.

The probe is submersible up to where the wire meets the metal probe. If that part gets water the probe will die. So be careful, even when cleaning

I haven't but don't think I would try it. I would get a deep fry/candy thermometer to be safe. Neil

Yes. I also recommend that you purchase an instant read thermometer also. The reason why is that with cooking a turkey your thermometer could be off a 1/4 of an inch and get a complete different reading. One other tip...don't submerge your prob in water to clean, it will ruin.

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.

According to Google..490 degrees. It should be fine for deep frying. I have not tried it, so I am not speaking from "experience"

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

Both the probe and the wire are submersible, not the union where they meet. Do not put in dishwasher, or soak it in water- for cleaning purposes.

It is very difficult to keep the probe cable from dropping below the water level. I place the probe inside a plastic bag and then put into the water bath. The opeing of the bag is always above water level, so no water will get in. It does not affect the temperature reading. Works good with sous vide cooking. I use this controller with a crock pot.

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.

We never cooked anything that needed that high temp. It did consistently reach 375 degrees. The cooker quit working after a few months so we had to get another fryer from a different company. Needless to say, we were not real pleased with the fryer.

There is a hole in the bottom that is plugged with a silicone plug. Silicone can handle 400F typically.
