Can you fry battered food that hasn't been cooked yet? Or can you only put pre-cooked frozen items in it?

YES, you can cook that hasn't cooked yet (my experience with french fries show me that it Works)

Absolutely! For uncooked food, I sometimes spray a light coat of Olive oil. The food comes out golden brown.

Definitely, I always remove the basket to fry chicken parts, onion rings, hash brown patties and fried green tomatoes. Wonderful fryer, best I've had and believe me I've had all the FAMOUS CHEF Ones and they can't hold a candle to this one.

Yes, anything you cook in a deep fryer can be cooked in this. That is what I have found.

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. In fact, the last get-together we had, that's what we cooked. The frozen kind from Costco seem to work best, as they are compact, mostly unbroken, and stay together nicely until you pop those tasty little morsels in your mouth.I have found that this well designed machine works far better at cooking and keeping Brats, Sausage, Dogs, Taquitos, Corn Dogs, and Egg Rolls than any conventional oven can do.I thoroughly recommend! 5 Stars!JGLDFW TX

It depends. Apples and other fruit fillings do need to be pre-cooked. Quiche mixtures and batters for desserts do not.

I have found that anything that you buy in a frozen state (french fries, battered fish, etc.) tastes amazing when cooked in the air fryer. If you make things fresh, add a little oil to the bottom and you'll never know you didn't cook it in oil. I love mine. I use it all the time - not like those other appliances that you get talked into that sit in the garage!!

I would kill & pluck it first, lol , yes the temp range is more than adequate to deep fat fry anything from Snickers to hard shell crabs. The cooking basket is plenty deep to cover the cut-up chicken.

No, but I pre-cooked the items to stuff burgers with first, I don"t think they would turn out as well if I didn't. The burgers are fun to make as there are so many varieties to try.

I suppose it could be done......not sure about cooking them directly from a frozen state.

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.....

I'm sorry, I've never frozen any food in the dishes. But, I would guess that they would not heat the frozen food without the glass getting too hot. I find they are best for refrigerator storage. My food stays fresh more than twice as long as in other containers.

I have these pans and I season my food before frying. And the food would not be tasty if you season after frying.

Interesting question for trial and error. We always freeze our leftovers for another day. They reheat well and never go to waste.

I have never used my turbo oven to cook these items, however I see no difference between pre battered vs own battered

You see, nothing non fried will ever taste as great as something fried, but things cooked in this device are pretty good. Frozen fries are almost as good. What I like the most is that it's simpler than frying, and after a while using the machine it even gets faster.

Dry foods that come as frozen: for example I spray my frozen french fries with butter and add some salt, and they come out to taste great! I love eating raw broccoli and spray it with some olive oil :) Kids frozen nuggets are to oily so I just placed them like that
