Can I deep fry battered foods?

Yes, you can deep fry battered foods. The basket should be lowered all the way into the oil before adding the food to be fried, and done to a golden brown before the basket is raised to avoid sticking to the bottom of the basket in case it hasn't quite finished cooking. You can also use tongs to remove items to test for doneness without raising the whole basket at once. Delicious, but expensive as I use only light olive oil for frying!

Yes, you can deep fry battered food.That is what my wife uses the deep fryer for. She makes shrimp tempura or sweet potato tempura with it.

Yes For the wetter batters you must gently lower the items into the oil as to not splatter or remove the batter coating from the food

Yes, I deep fry Pork chops, chicken, onion rings, the one thing I found out is to take the basket out if you fry onion rings because they will stick to the basket. You will need to change the oil after deep frying battered foods. It makes great fried foods, very tender. I use my Delonghi almost every day.Hope this helps, please feel free to email me with any concerns or questions you may have

You can, but just add your choice of cooking oil! I heat up the oil a little at first. Be careful to pat the potatoes dry before putting them in the pan with the oil so they won't splatter, and watch over them as you fry. I have the Presto Electric folding fryer, and I have fried breaded chicken cutlets in oil, and they come out moist and delicious. I have also made French fries very successfully. Good luck!

I'm not sure about the oil, maybe a half gallon. I use peanut oil as it's the best for most deep frying. I do know that deep fried foods don't absorb as much oil as pan fried, but I diet, and I don't eat fried foods except on my free eating day.

Yes. I make fried rice in it myself, but keep in mind it is not deep like a chicken fryer.

Since it is a large deep fryer. I would have to believe that you can cook just about anything friable in this unit.My opinion only.....

Yes you can fry other things besides a turkey and the cooking time depends on what you are cooking... Google would be able to let you know how long to cook lets say fish or chicken

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.

Yes, you can absolutely use it for deep frying, as long as you're frying at no more than 450F. It doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Pan Frying OK. Deep Frying Absolutely NOT! It isn't deep enough. Think electric fyring pan. If you fry your chicken in a regular frying pan this will be OK. If you really want to submerge you chicken in hot oil then get an electric deep fryer.

I don't think they can be fried. They are made of rice, are paper thin and used for fresh veggies. In the Philippines, they only eat them cold.

I am not sure. I have never tried to do that since I have a fry daddy. But I really love this skillet! I use it almost every day.

Yes, I have fried fresh fish in it. Depending on crisp you want it you may want to cook a little longer than the directions say. Use peanut oil in the spray bottle to spay on the fish and when you turn them over half way thru cooking spray the other side a little. worked for me

I don't deep fry because high temps break down the benefits of coconut oil. I do pan fry on med heat though.

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

The pan is pretty deep, so I don't see why not. I've done some pan frying but no deep frying in mine.

Sadly it cannot. The manual explicitly states to NOT use solid fats depsite the fact that solid fats(saturated) are the most suitable for deep drying due to their high smoke points and lower amount of omega-6 fatty acids. Vegetable and canola oils are poor choices almost all of the. i would make an exception for peanut oil in small doses. I will be returning this item for this reason. It seems most of the fryers in the $80-$100 range CAN indeed use solid fats and I will look at purchasing one of those.

This is to shallow for deep fry--I suggest Presto Deep Fryer for fish and bone in chicken. This is great for boneless chicken and pork chops etc.
