Is there anyway you can outfit the 7 in 1 with a larger pot for frying a whole turkey?

The pot that comes with it is too small, but I don't know why you could not use a larger pot to deep fry a turkey.

Disclaimer: I'm no expert so I'm not responsible if you burn your house down. I would think you could but haven't tried. I've had mine for years so they may have changed but the base on mine is wide and sturdy. I would think it could handle some weight.

I have never done it, but I'm sure you could do it. Just be sure it is very stable on the propane burner. Sure would not want it to slip off. There is certainly enough heat to fry your turkey.

If you can find a deeper pit with the same circumference (diameter) of the original pot that came with the unit it would work. Your best bet woukd be a restaurant supply store.

You could probably remove the inner cooking pot and brown something on the stovetop, then put it back into the unit to cook the rest of the way. However the handles are covered with removable silicon(?) covers that are pretty difficult to get on and off.

You can't get the cover by itself even from just parts store of Cuisinart. You'd have to buy a pot with the same size opening as the frying pan.

The commonly found small turkey breast should be fine in the cooker, though I have never used my cooker for a Turkey breast. Actually you could fit two breast in the cooker at one time. Phil

No, you could only put certain amount of oil, and that's is not deep enough to fry whole chicken.

9 1/2 width x 8 3/4 DepthI was a little disappointed that there was no recipe book for a fryer this big large, and also that I couldn't fry chicken with it. I also tried to cook ribs from a regular size fryer cook book and they tuned out so tough I could not eat them, and I didn't get a rack for the inside bottom. OH yes, I also want to mention the bottom scorched on the fist time I used it, and it is still scorched.

No, in fact this is the only pot that can be used with it. The burner is spring loaded and only this pot will depress the spring. I have never deep fried a turkey on here, but I have done multiple homebrew batches. Extract and partial can be done on this, but not all grain. For a bigger pot, I bought a Bayou Classic KAB4 and it has been amazing. Just follow the instructions for lighting it and it lights every time.

NO you cannot pressure fry in any regular pressure cooker it is dangerous! You need a very special pressure fryer and they cost over $300

Yes, but I would still use a good old big cast iron skillet for frying chicken, if you have it.

I've never tried to cook a whole turkey in it before. The actual can cooker website has a ton of recipes that you can try. I found this one for Thanksgiving turkey, it looks like they suggest cutting into smaller pieces to cook it.http://www.cancooker.com/thanksgiving-turkey/

Sure, I do that all the time. To keep the top pot with food really hot, I boil water in another pot and put it at the bottom. Two stacked pot in the cooker, but only the top one has food.

Get the 10 inch covered fryer. It has straight sides like a saute pan. But it probably a little shy of 10 inches.

I actually bought it for brewing beer. It is taller and narrower (about 16" tall x 13.5 dia.) than most 9 gallon pots. This is good for me because it fits on my stove top. Obviously, that's not a factor in frying a turkey. It's good quality and has been great for me so far. It would probably fit a medium sized turkey. You might want a shorter, fatter one (maybe 15" dia.) for a big turkey.

No, in fact I would think the 7 qt would be perfect. Think of it this way: you can always make a lesser amount of food in a larger pot. If you don't have a larger pot, it would be really difficult to make enough for leftovers, guests, a whole chicken, etc, etc. I wouldn't trade my 8 qt for anything, and we've been empty nesters for 6 years now. I make everything in it.

You could if you cut it into smaller chunks. I keep a small jar of coconut oil inside if mine for frying. It works well. You could use a lightweight, small-diameter pan with this, but it pretty much comes with one (the "lid"). I love this cookset. Also, if you replace the plastic feet with bolts it can be used with wood. Fuel as well. This essentially makes it I tri-fuel system.

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

Sure. We do that all the time. Shrimp in the top and corn, potatoes, onions etc in the bottom for a low country boil. We love it. Also use it as a turkey fryer without baskets.
