Is this skillet usable for deep-frying (not like the Presto 06626, which is not to be used for deep-frying)

I am not sure. I have never tried to do that since I have a fry daddy. But I really love this skillet! I use it almost every day.

Maybe, but I'm not sure how safe that would be. If the oil was only 1/2" deep it might be okay. The temperature should go high enough, but it is not designed for it. I would look at a dedicated deepfryer instead.

I never tried that. Can definitely be used for frying, but don't know how it works for deep frying

It is a deep fat fryer, 350 deg F max. Works well. So, why not, if that temp is recommended? I have not explored Indian recipes.

No, in the instruction manual it says not to but it can be used for deep frying pieces of chicken or fish or the like.

I'm not sure. I have never used it for deep frying. It is only two (2) inches deep. The temperature control seems accurate. It might work.

I can't answer this question. I had two of these skillets and loved everything about them except the fact that the non-stick surface doesn't last at all. I took really good care of both of them and both surfaces failed. Now I'm using a Presto. Have only had it for a month so far so good. It is like the Hamilton Beach except that the lid does not clip on and it is cheaper. Also the skillet detaches from the base making it take less storage room.

It seems to be.....in fact much better than the teflon coated electric skillets. So far I really like it, but I have found you can not cook on high temps. like they suggest...I use 250 - 275 Degs to cook.....does much better. I like this skillet much better then any others I have used so far...no sign of the lining pealing yet...and it does not look like it will.

Yes, you can absolutely use it for deep frying, as long as you're frying at no more than 450F. It doesn't need to be refrigerated.

I've only used it for deep frying so far but I don't see why not. It's your average bottom-heated non-stick pot.

Haven't used mine yet, but I got it to do just that. Yes, with a cast iron skillet or one that a magnet sticks to, you can sear, deep fry or boil. Got mine to use on my lanai for frying fish and steaks without all the grease and smoke in the house

I wouldn't use it for deep frying but it can be used for braising and browning ground meat.

I would assume so. I prefer a flat surface to cook my eggs, so I use my other skillets. Keep in mind, this one has the ridges in the bottom to give you grill marks. If you don't mind grill marks or ridges in your fried eggs or working around the ridges in the pan as you scramble the eggs, I don't see why you couldn't cook eggs in it.

I would say if you are not wanting to use the required amount of oil you save your money and buy a decent deep frying pan and forget the deep fryer. These deep fryers are great if you have a lot to fry. I use mine for fish frys when we are feeding a lot of people. For just your use get a fry daddy or something small .

The non stick coating makes this product unsuitable for deep frying. You would be better off with a product made for this purpose. Non Stick coatings would be damaged by deep frying.

You're welcome. AND a little more info, it is as deep as my 12" skillet. I actually choose this over my regular skillet if it is not already being used for something else at the same time. It is my favorite.

We have the classic and use it every morning. Love it for frying bacon and eggs. The pan is heavy, and flat! Follow directions about preheating and also hand washing after the pan cools and the non-stick surface will probably last longer....

It's 2.5" deep. If you're talking deep frying, no. Get yourself a deep fryer for that. But for frying chicken in an inch or so of oil, etc, yes. People cook fried chicken in frying pans all the time, and this one is no exception. I have fried and stir fried, and pan fried in mine. It does great pork chops and steaks. I do a cross between pan-fried and oven baked chicken in it. They all turn out very successfully, moist and tender, but properly cooked, and it can do a very nice crispy exterior, if you want it. I do my 'world famous' fried squash parmesan, and it's the best I have ever tasted. In other words, it's very versatile, and can turn out pretty much whatever you want. I love mine. (it's easy to clean, too) ENJOY
