Can this be used for frying? Thanks

It is made of stainless steel. Dipping the basket into hot oil or grease will not damage it. It is dishwasher safe.

Absolutely.Wok cooking, stir frying, or deep oil frying. Just rinse the oil off, wash it, and hang it to dry.

This was a gift. I am unsure whether you can fry with it. Contact the manufacture on that question

Yes it can but works much better as a fryer. I've had mine for a year and we use it all the time. Including turkeys and chickens for the holidays. You can get a dutch oven with steam basket for much less money if all you need is a steamer.

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.

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

Yes but be careful not to disturb the heating elements or let food rest on them and burn-so whatever you are frying it is going to have to float-therefor I would always use the basket with this model with exposed elements.

Yes. We use it for anything we fry. We bought this because our power goes out often and we must use our genersaterr. The generater won't run our range so we use this for any meal.

sure, have used it to boil pasta and veggies. I would not fry with it though, although I am sure you could.

Would take a very large amount of oil. .We never tried because we have a Deep Fryer. If you want to put that much oil in a 2-1/2" deep skillet and heat it,I would think you are asking for possible spill,burn,and a large mess if it spills. Cheapest deep fryer will fix this problem.

I bought it because many people mentioned that they used it for quick frying. You have to decide what you believe are the dangers with the nonstick and "high" temps, and what temps trigger those dangers.

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..

I would not use it for frying as the hot oil expands and there is not high enough sides, also the non stick coating can not take such high heat. Use your dutch oven to fry.

It depends on what size of item or items You're frying. Your best bet is to fill it with Water to judge the amt of oil you need to Use

Yes I can fry a small fryer all at one time. I also use it to make my cinnamon rolls it holds 6 large rolls perfect for sunday buffet. Made a apple cobbler in it for a friends family reunion they loved it;

I don't think so. There isn't much of a bend in the handle, so won't go very deep into a fryer. I hope that helps.
