Can I use this pot for deep frying, let's say with oil at temps around 375 degrees F?

I don't know what the official answer is but my sister deep fries with hers. I've never deep fried anything.

The warranty is VOID if you use them at Temps above 500 F (ruins the enamel) but 375F should be no problem!

I have never used my thermometer for deep frying because I do not deep fry food, but if I did I would have full confidence in the performance of it. The instructions that came with it give no caution warnings as to using it for deep frying, so I would guess that it is safe to use for deep frying. I can not see any way that it could get damaged by using it for your intended purpose.

I've used my Comark from around 60 degrees to temperatures around 350-360 (hot grease for fish). I've never used it to test below zero.

yes... it is super light weight and therefore heats up really fast... I use it as a small fryer and the oil heats to 350 in under 5 mins. the basket is great for frying as you don't have to fish anything out with a slotted spoon. buy this pot, it'll change your life.

Although I personally have never used it at more than 400 degrees, I know that there should be no problem. Happy cooking!

Using a independent thermometer the unit will not reach 375 degrees Fahrenheit. I have not found household unit that will reach 375. I have fried rainbow trout, largemouth bass, crappie and panfish with this unit and they have all been crisp with and without the lid on. I believe the secret to crispy fried fish is letting the fish sit for 20 to 30 minutes after they are covered with batter on a wire rack before frying.

The maximum temperature reading is 374 degrees. It is the best deep fryer I have ever owned

Not intended for direct frying on the hot plate themselves, but with a frying pan or deep pot the temp is more than sufficient to sautee or fry.

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.

Sure, I don't see why not? I have put other pots of the same material in the oven. But not higher then 400 degrees!. I hope I have helped you.

Yes - that is what I understand (I have not done it yet but supposedly and as 'Chefdjm' responded as long as you do not exceed the 200 degreesF)

You can cook at any temperature. I've cook soup in this. I've also done long term deep frying of Chinese pretzels

I don't see why not. It is all about managing the heat. I would be cautious with overheating the pan with the Teflon coating above 400 degrees but I doubt you would ever need it that hot. This is a great griddle, we use it all the time.

Since you are not supposed to use these pans with very high heat, I'm not sure deep frying is the best for this due to the heat. But they are great for stir frying. I never use heat higher than medium high (following recommendations), and have had no problems and they remain in great shape after 15 months of almost daily cooking. I think they are excellent pans overall, but I think you may be better served with other pans that can tolerate highest heat settings.

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

Haven't tried it for that yet. But if it works for deep frying, and other high temp items it should be OK if you are making enough to be able to suspend the end in without touching the bottom of the pan to insure a good temp reading. I do prefer this type over the old glass therm I use to have. Hope this helps.

Assuming you let the oil cool down a lot first, yes, I just tried it with room temperature canola oil. I mention the temperature because I don't know how the rim and handle would react to the heat. Knowing that a lot of frying is in the neighbourhood of 325-375F and that certain plastics start melting in that range. That being said the description on Amazon states "resistant up to 430 degrees Fahrenheit". Aside from stock an bouillon, I also use it for yogurt and ricotta. The comment about cleaning is also valid for milk products.
