One reviewer said it only holds 3" of oil. Is this true?

The insert that holds the oil measures 9" x 12" x 6" deep. There is a max fill line marked on the inside of the insert that is 3 inches from the bottom. So they only want you to fill it halfway, though I've had as much as 4 inches in it and it worked fine.

It takes just under one gallon of oil to get to the fill line. I assume the reviewer stating it "only holds 3 inches of oil" is referring to the height from the bottom of the oil container to the fill line?

That is correct, but that is plenty to cook, large pieces of fish, chicken, fries, hushpuppies, shrimp and much much more. It is a wonderful cooker that we use at least once a week.

Sure!! If you order this be sure to open it right away. I ordered two and both of them had a slight oil leak. Still Recommend.

Yes. I love it. I put essential oils in it as well. it has a 500 ml reservoir. I think it's one of the largest.

It's only about 2" front to back, so it doesn't hold as much as one would think. I'd say it's a bit over a gallon.

yes about the size of a dime, sturdy enough to hold oils for a few days .. perfect for what I needed

Yes, you can get 4 quart bottles of oil in there and still have room. I have this bag on both of my KLRs.

There's a small metal reservoir, about 1/2 cm deep with a 1/4 cm diameter, by the nossle. I have not used it yet, but it seems that you place a few drops of essential oil in there.

Not really...it has a top, but it does not seal tight. Maybe just clean it out before going and take oil in a sealed container???

If you don't have more than 1/3 cup of oil in the container it works fine. Any more than that it tends to squirt rather than spray. Also Give it a few pumps just before use, the more pressure the better the spray.

I use 2 bottles in my H1 Hummer. It holds 8 quarts of oil. It's pretty awesome stuff, I highly recommend it. Bill

I have two of these boxes. The first one holds doterra oils just fine. The second one is not made as well. I don't know if they have a different supplier with poor quality controls or what, but some of the slots hold the oils and some don't. To the naked eye they look like they are the same size but they aren't. Some are smaller then others. Since it's been a while since I bought mine, maybe they have changed again. If I were you I would consider getting one and just send it back if it doesn't work. Amazon returns are easy..

Mine has not held up very well just using it to take water out of a birdbath. Personally I wouldn't use it for any oil, lubricants or gas. Years ago I had one that looked the same that was used for kerosene but it was much better quality and it worked great. This one is pretty flimsy.

About three quarters of an inch deep holds at least a pound of bacon grease

it holds about 5 cups of oil if you fill it. however, it only needs 2-3 cups depending upon what you are frying. it is a shallow bowl, but wide. works great. we like that it doesn't need so much oil to work.

I dont think so. It sits on top of a water bottle and there is no reservoir that you can put the oils in.

no its 3 in. I think I am going to get another one, one for food and one for non-food items.

It got thrown away, so I can't measure it, but I can imagine it might have held about 3 quarts. It certainly did have one long handle as shown (and would not stand on its otherwise usefully curved base). I'd be very inclined to find one in a shop to check with the pan you intend to use beneath it before buying!
