Can the lid be used with the basket inside for storage

YES! The handle folds down and the lid can also be put on while boiling the water (I only use it as a near perfect vegetable cooker, so don't know how it might work for deep fat frying). The basket stores nicely inside with the lid on.

No. It is a replacement for an in cabinet trash bin. A lid may be sold separately.

The unit will fit in the cabinet, but the largest lid you could store would be only 8 inches in diameter.

No, the lid would easily allow water in. I only use it indoors. I would never use, for example, in a shed or other outdoor structure. It might fit under a bed, though.

Yes I believe you can, yellow gold forsure one item the basket is inside the jar please read the label

Yes you can, the lid is a separate piece, it's not attached to the main box.

The lid does not form a seal. So it would not keep anything you may put in it inside. It is made of silicone and is soft and pliable.

Yes it can. Those are the bags that I use with it. I've filled it and bought cheap baskets from dollar store and transferred the bags once they were frozen.

yes. It can be simply locked so the top won't open then stood upright for storage

yes....you can remove the basket and use a slotted spoon I suppose. This is a great deep fryer for 2 people! The filtering system when frying with the lid closed avoids alot of grease splatter.

No, the lid is not intended to be used for anything else besides covering the container

No. I have a small, separate plastic basket that sits in it, for that purpose. Don't know where I got it...Lowe's, Bed Bath and Beyond, perhaps?

Probably not, unless its cut into quarters. The inside basket is about 2 1/4 inches tall and 8 1/4 inches wide. In the middle is a long plastic piece (looks like a jewelry ring holder) that sticks up in the center that prevents putting anything whole & large. As info, I would not purchase another.

No...we put a tote with a hinged lid in it. This worked good for what we needed it for.

Yes, the top section has a solid metal bottom (base). So you could use it for storage although it has no top cover.

Yes you can lower and raise the basket in the oil while the lid is close. That is recommended in the manual.

No you can not. Not sure how that would be helpful as all the fat, oil or butter would flow through the basket
