Is this Dutch oven used for deep frying

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.

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

I wouldn't use it for deep frying but it can be used for braising and browning ground meat.

Yes. Definitely. It's good for cooking, it's not my favorite for frying food, it's slow and not hot enough.

Yes, anything you cook in a deep fryer can be cooked in this. That is what I have found.

Sure! You can use it for steaming, boiling or deep frying. We used it last night for steaming veggies, seafood, and sausage. My dad uses his to deep fry turkey.

I would say no, designed for water, broths etc. would be very careful using oil in it, rubber O-rings. Look for a deep fryer..

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

You probably could, because it's cast iron, but it's not designed for that, it might be too shallow, it does not have deep sides like a regular frying pan. This is more like a smallish serving plate that you can heat to scorching hot in the oven then place on the wooden base and then put your oil and onions or whatever else you want on there for a quick flash cook.

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.

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.

It's probably sturdy enough for deep frying, but not large enough for most uses ... unless you want to deep-fry, say, 12 button mushrooms divided into two batches (I wouldn't). You probably need a bigger pan for deep frying.

Yes it can be used just like any other deep fryer but its best to not use any flour in this unit. Mine's burnt out trying to cook chicken wing's

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.

It seems to work well for pan frying but I do not know about deep frying. It has become my favorite pan for most everything.

No, we used it a few times for frying bacon, but it's not as deep as I wanted. If you cook a lot of bcon at one time, you may have to remove some of the grease or it will run over!

It's great for donuts and any type of deep frying. Just make sure you have a thermometer to clip to the side such as a candy thermometer to keep the oil at the right temp.

My guess is yes you can. I have had it on 425 I did not have a recipe that called for 500 degrees, I looked at the pamphlet that came with the dutch oven and it mentions so limit on cooking so I think you can. There is a customer service contact number which you may want to call. 800-497-4959. Good Luck! I love my Dutch Oven!

It would work for deep frying better than shallow frying I think. It stuck badly when I tried to fry chicken with a half inch or so of oil.
