I don't think I would try to deep fry with this. It works ok to pan sauté. You have to cook slower and lower temp because it tends to burn. However, the problem with lower temp is it tends to absorb the oil more quickly. This stuff sucks up any "moisture" as it is, so probably would suck the oil up quickly now matter what the temp of the oil. I think I prefer cooking with oat FIBER (not oat bran or oat flour) over the coconut flour. I started a low carb diet 3 months ago and have ordered several different flours. So far the almond flour, flax meal and the above mentioned oat FIBER are the ones I have the most luck with. I don't think I would try to deep fry with this. It works ok to pan sauté.

Yes you can. :) It adds a little more flavor to your food. We cook with it the majority of the time and have for the past 10 years. Enjoy!

You can but wouldn't recommend doing so, the chicken that we have used it on turns out very dry, and soaks up a lot of oil, not sure about pork chops.

Ihave used the coconut flour mixed with garbanzo flour and seasoning to fry chicken & pork chops and also steak!

Yes you can. Wings and thighs are wonderful cooked in the fryer. The skin is crisp and the meat is juicy. I haven't tried cooking a breast so can't rate it's performance there.

I only use it for frying. I have never thought about using it any other way, but I suppose it is possible. You probably should contact the company which manufacturers this product.

Unequivocally NO. That would be dangerous. You need an actual pressure fryer to do this. And they are available. Do a Google search (or Amazon).

You can use it for high heat stir fry with vegetable or meat. But the handles will be very hot so be careful!

Absolutely. A wok is primarily designed for pan frying. It's shape allows food to be moved from the hotter bottom pan surface up the sides where it is less hot, or to slide the more finished pieces out of the wok into a bowl. You can pan-fry meat as well but my preferred instrument in that situation is a cast iron skillet.

Melinda, I wish I knew that answer for you. I Love it. It is temperature HOT. I fry chicken pork chops, fries, fish. Done in minutes. I have owned too. Old one is with my son and still kicking. I didn't go with the ones with a temp setting b/c the reviews were not hot enough. I stuck with my grandpappy fryer. Love it.

No, you can't fry chicken in it. You can grill or saute chicken but not fry. It isn't deep enough to hold enough oil to really "fry" chicken.

Yes. I even use it to cook chicken thighs, chicken breast, pork chops, and fries.

you can use this for frying plantons or you can use it for fish. I have never used this for deep frying. It can also go in greens or green beans or flavor vegetables when cooking

No, definitely not. Two chicken breasts or four thighs would work, or an intact fryer, but not a whole cut up chicken

No, in the instruction manual it says not to but it can be used for deep frying pieces of chicken or fish or the like.

I have only tried chicken and I would say no it does not fry just as good. You have to be careful not to over cook and you can't really put too much meat in at once for the best results. It does taste fine though so it is worth buying.

i have not tried that before. i typically fry the chicken then add paste then add stock then simmer and pull the chicken. i would recommend cooking the chicken first, but let me know how it works out if you try it raw. the stuff also works very well with shrimp for what its worth.

Sure does! The secret to frying anything in this is to do it in small batches and then transfer to a 375 or 400 degree oven. Keeps the item crisp and hot.

YES, You can stir-fry and deep fry, but obviously the depth of the wok would limit what could be deep fried. You could deep fry some shrimp tempura, but I wouldn't attempt a turkey!

I did chicken breast with no issue. Chicken is low in fat so there never really seems to be a problem. I sometimes run into issues when I am grinding hit fat content pork because the fat gets tangled in the blade and I have to stop and clear it out. I would still recommend this product though.
