Pressure Fry Pan: What is the pressure fry pan used for?

Its not really a "fry pan", just a smaller version of the same thing. I use mine for rice mostly. It can hold 2 cups or more of raw rice and te required amount of liquid to cook it. In theory you could use it for anything that you would cook in the larger pot, but around here, even just cooking for 2, I use the big one about 5 times as often. I hope this late reply helps!

We use it mainly for breakfast eggs, bacon and tomato so we normally use it with alight spray of rice oil and at medium heat,but for a stir fry I have had it high for a short time to brown onions etc then reduce heat on a gas stove

I use it for stir fry and varies dishes that require a deep pan. It's non stick so be careful when washing and heat should not be high. It will warp the pan and non stick won't work that well.

Yes, although I have never used it as such. It is advertised as being a pressure fryer. We use it a a pressure cooker. One thing though, we seem to have problems from time to time with it sealing. You need to make sure that the seal in the lid is clean and seated properly before each use. I think you can also buy replacement seals for it.

We use the smaller size all the time as a deep saut pan or shallow soup pan, actually a lot more frequently than the larger size for normal cooking. The larger size is used more often as pressure cooker.

I don't have a pressure cooker so I can't help you there. I have used it to lay fish on it and steam the fish. I did not want the fish in the water and it worked fine. Might want to use some pan spray so fish does not stick.

No it's not a pressure fryer. In my opinion after 27 years in the food & Beverage industry this the BEST fryer. On my 2nd one the 1st one lasted about 4-5 years NO other like it! Been there and tried other this is the best!

I use a 12 inch fry pan. It works very well. Like all large pans it's a bit hotter in the middle

You only use that settings to brown your food before you put the lid on and pressure cook it, I think it heats up to a higher temp so you can't use it for pressure cooking your meals. You must use the pressure settings to actually pressure cook the meals. I haven't had any problem with anything sticking when I use the right settings for the task I'm doing.

I don't think that you can use it for any type of frying since it gets extremely hot. I believe the instructions also mention that it should only be used for boiling in large pots.

Yes . It works great for items that a meant to be fried but cooks with any need for oil and taste good.. I try this with French fries and taste great without the oil.. Works great on chicken, Pork chops, mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders.

I would say if you are not wanting to use the required amount of oil you save your money and buy a decent deep frying pan and forget the deep fryer. These deep fryers are great if you have a lot to fry. I use mine for fish frys when we are feeding a lot of people. For just your use get a fry daddy or something small .

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.
