Is it deep enough to fry bacon and hold the grease

It would probably hold the grease for one pan full of bacon, but then you would need to dump it before cooking up more bacon.

I used a ruler and the height inside is only 1/2 inch. I'd lean towards no with how bacon grease pops around so much

We fry turkey bacon without losing any grease to the countertop, though turkey has far less fat than traditional bacon. We tend to use it more for pancakes and French toast. As long as you avoid using metal spatulas, it'll hold up pretty well. Hope this helps!

Pretty shallow. I would not fry bacon in it unless you only made a few at a time. The grease will need to be emptied quite a bit.

it is very shallow and will hold some grease. I would not use it for that since it is not possible to put a splatter screen over it, and you would have to sop up the grease often. It works for warming precooked bacon and sausage though.

It is deep enough I always use it for Fried rice and there is no mess at the kitchen I like it...you have to season it first before you use itCheers..

Jason, I never have used it because it is just too big for the amount of bacon grease I collect. Sorry.

Note deep enough for bacon, unless you don't mind the spatter. It is great for cooking eggs over easy. My wife makes a mean egg mcmuffin with Canadian bacon. Canadian bacon cooks great on the griddle!

Definitely not. It warps and spilling bacon fat sounds risky. Wear-Ever Half Size Heavy Duty Sheet Pan (13 gauge) by Vollrath (formerly Lincoln Foodservice), model 5314 America's Test kitchen does product reviews. I have the pans you asked about. While they cook evenly, they warp at higher heat.

I only eat turkey bacon which works great in the pan but I do think the pan is deep enough for regular bacon.

Of course, although with the lid remaining in place it is somewhat minimized. To my knowledge there is no deep fryer made that does not do this. I have a patio off my kitchen where I use this device.

The edges are not high enough for anything with grease (Bacon, sausage) and you would not get good heat distribution between the burners. I would not recommend this for any purpose other than using it with the equipment it was designed for. Safety first.

It would certainly hold the bacon flat, it must weigh 5 lbs. I prefer to do my bacon in the microwave on a paper towel, much faster and less clean up.

It is deep enough to cook bacon in it. It's about 1/4 inch deep. I cook bacon in it all the time.

If you are doing 6 or more slices it is not deep enough, too much grease and it gets everywhere (this is per the bacon maker - my hubby).

I bought this for my daughter and son-in-law and I know they fry things, including fish, in it. I'm not sure what you mean by 'deep frying'. I don't think it's deep enough to fry something that you'd want to submerge in oil. I know they love this fry pan.

Measured from the inside bottom of the pan, the edge is about 1/4 inch. The sides are deep enough for some melted butter for a grilled cheese sandwich. You could easily do pancakes. I would not do bacon, since a strip can generate more grease than the sides might hold.

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

YES! The handle folds down and the lid can also be put on while boiling the water (I only use it as a near perfect vegetable cooker, so don't know how it might work for deep fat frying). The basket stores nicely inside with the lid on.
