Do the enclosed care instructions say that deep frying in oil as for tempura will harm the non-stick coating?

I don't think this would be a problem. I do know you should not use spray oils on the pans. The propellent in these sprays ruins any non-stick finishes.

That should be fine it hydrates not to use spray oil like Pam. I love the pans.

I think that depends upon what you are frying and how long the frying time takes. Example would be if you are frying "Country Fried Steak," that may degrade the oil faster due to fat/juices in the beef. On the other hand, frying "Tempura Zuccini" would not breakdown the oil as fast.

It works great without any ventilation, it has a filter built into the top cover that will catch 95% of smells, but deep frying in general is not an odorous process compared to pan searing, etc. No worries at all in even the smallest kitchen, had mine for a while now and it's been fantastic! There will be a slight smell obviously from the oil being heating but again, it's less than frying something in a skillet.

No. It will mess up the coating. I use wooden spoon or silicone spatula when I'm cooking with Orgreenic. I had high expectation os this brand, but honestly, they are just like all other non-stick pans that get dull in a short time. Then frying becomes sticky after a while. If you don't want to bother reseasoning pans, try the glass stove top brands like this: http://goo.gl/7AqNRx or this: http://goo.gl/jzxMCC . They are much healthier and easier to maintain. You can use metal utensils with it too. Once the non-stick pans lose the coating, that's when cooking becomes unhealthy so I will stick to stovetop glass cookware. Specifically the amber glass ones. They last a long time. Hope this helps. No. It will mess up the coating. I use wooden spoon or silicone spatula when I'm cooking with Orgreenic.

.....that I don't know. I hope you can find out through their internet site. Or a salesperson at many of the places it's sold. There was a learning curve in making sure food doesn't stick (for just the frying pan), but it's healthier than teflon!

I have had no problem with the nonstick, but I also use a little bit of butter or spray in it. I don't cook food in it alone.

It looks & feels like the same interior as rice cookers. It's NOT like dark Teflon in frying pans. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about this nonstick material because u wouldn't b scratching it right? It states to use a soft wash cloth anyway. I love this product and it's worth the investment for its purpose.

I am unaware of the health risks you mention but it is my practise to warm the pan a bit before I add oil or butter. It's more a matter of timing and routine though. I have ruined a non stick pan before, not a Calphalon, by forgetting I had turned the heat on. It ruined the non stick surface. This might be what the warning was about. However, I sometimes forget and have oiled it immediately with no variance in the results.

What I have found with all non stick pan is that you can only cook in med heat. Any higher and the coating starts to slowly come off which make it ineffective.

Do some research on Zojirushi products and you will find that in every case the non-stick coating is a titanium ceramic compound. The typical coating in frying pans is Teflon. Thanks for trying to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) on a good product. How ignorant.

Hi Mary,I don't immerse my frying pan in water but do rinse it thoroughly so some water does pass into the vents and nothing happens. I think if you don't immerse it in water and it has sufficient time to dry between uses it should be fine. I love the frying pan! Mary Pat

Hello Srilatha P. , The answer to your question would be a definite NO, it cannot be used for deep frying .
1902563
Never tried. I usually use iron or stainless steel cookware for deep frying.

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.

Oh..forgot to mention.. Never pre heat this pan on high..As with all non stick...It will destroy them.. Read the directions and save the warranty card !

The interior is billed as being "non stick" but the word "Teflon" is not mentioned. I've never had a problem with fumes.

I doubt it. The look and feel are that the "inner cooking pan" is coated with Teflon. The manual states "the nonstick coating can peel off if damaged", "do not pour vinegar in the Pan"...
