Chicken? I've heard you can do chicken in these. Does that mean with oil or water? Some can handle oil, some cannot.

You can never deep fry in a pressure cooker, if that's what you mean (it is a fire hazard). You can saute the chicken in oil first, but then you must still cook it with at least one cup of any liquid except oil, such as stock or wine.

I don't think you can but if you want to cook chicken as a stew i do it with any meat and add water and vegetable, but to use the pressure cooking as a frying is not meant to be, you can't put boiling oil under pressure !!!!! you need to buy a frying pan design to hold plenty of boiling oil .

Sure, if they've been boiled for awhile. Seems kind of rough on your motor, if they were not boiled enough to be kind of soft. (you are making pet food, aren't you?)

It doesn't matter if you heat the pan first before put the oil in or heat the pan after you put the oil in. Kinda like the chicken or the egg. Everyone knows God created the chicken first. The important thing to do is get the oil or pan hot enough...and that's time and not more than medium heat. If your oil is starting to smoke...and I mean the slightest sign of smoking...your ready! I wash this pan like my cast irons...wipe....scrape if necessary...hot water and a stiff brush...and oil if necessary! Great pans...another suggestion....there is no better recipes than Test Kitchen! I've tried em all! Good luck kitchen warrior! It doesn't matter if you heat the pan first before put the oil in or heat the pan after you put the oil in. Kinda like the chicken or the egg.

No you cannot. The recommended maximum oil level is not high enough to cover a whole small chicken.

yes, i've done it a few times. don't put too much oil in and it will leave batter fragments at the bottom so pay attention. it cooks chicken fast.

I mostly use olive oil but I have fried chicken in regular vegetable or canola oil and have not had any problems. I always hand wash all of my Anolon cookware though. I absolutely love Anolon.

I have never tried any oils. They dissolve quickly in water and even if they didn't dissolve from the oil, they would most likely leak. I wouldn't trust them for any liquids.

I did chicken breast with no issue. Chicken is low in fat so there never really seems to be a problem. I sometimes run into issues when I am grinding hit fat content pork because the fat gets tangled in the blade and I have to stop and clear it out. I would still recommend this product though.

Maybe, if your hens are smart enough. My 6 girls never figured it out. The kids gave them "lessons" repeatedly. We dripped it into a pan, they drank out of the pan. we bumped their beaks to the nipple, and they resisted. We tried teaching the smartest hen first. She didn't learn either. My hens run around outside, too. That could be the problem.

Never tried a chicken. Steaks and shis-kabobs. Looks like the rotisserie would work well though.

You could do that. You're heating up a lot of oil so if you were doing a big batch of wings it would make sense. We've used ours for frying turkeys and also we used it to make a boiled dinner for parties.

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam

Sure! I would use peanut oil to fry them in, we used to do it all the time! Enjoy

The oil is very easy to clean. That's no problem. I just find that it's just too small and doesn't make very much at a time. I regret buying it. You will only fit 2 chicken breasts at a time. That 8-cup claim is sheer nonsense!

It depends on what size of item or itemsYou're frying. Your best bet is to fill it withWater to judge the amt of oil you need toUse

my chickens took right to them but a friend of mine had your trouble and he just didn't give them any other source of water. He would tap the nipples to get water on them and they started to drink. Also you need enough water to put pressure on the nipple to leak when they peck at it.
