This Cooker requires careful handling !!! For full instructions contact the manufacturer ! Pressure Cookers can and are Dangerous when not used properly !

I would say no, designed for water, broths etc. would be very careful using oil in it, rubber O-rings. Look for a deep fryer..

Yes. I make fried rice in it myself, but keep in mind it is not deep like a chicken fryer.

Nope. A basic and not so simple cooker. Plug it in and wait for it to cook thoroughly.Have made Stews with this and quickly found it just isn't big enough and it now just sits in my cabinet.

You can if you want but I believe it would be unsanitary and unhealthy. It might be better to use a smaller amount and add oil and throw away the remainder.

You can easily adapt most recipes. The one we like and use is GREAT FOOD FAST,by Bob Warden. I believe I got it at amazon. Love the cooker.

Since it is a large deep fryer. I would have to believe that you can cook just about anything friable in this unit.My opinion only.....

I think you can, but would have to fit in and cook slowly with supervision. It's not a slow cooker

Basically yes. Oil must cover at least half of chicken piece being fried tho so when you turn it, both sides fry/cook evenly.

The cooker gets up to 300 degrees. Boiling point is only 212. so yes you can cook rice, or warm up canned foods, leftovers etc.

It will cook anything you put in it, but a couple of problems: 1) It does a poor job of getting to and maintaining fry temperature; mine couldn't get past 340, and quickly dropped lower when food was added. 2) It's a lot smaller than the advert pics imply; those must be pigmy chickens they show. Mine wouldn't hold more than 4 drumsticks (chicken). I returned mine, and now I use a dutch oven. It isn't automatic, but it cooks.

You can, but be careful with that. The oils are strong and heating them can produce some very strong vapors. In other words, don't be sitting right under that oil burner breathing in the fumes that occur.

I would cook the food your normal time then transfer to a serving bowl...I used mine in my pressure cooker and then took the food straight to a bowl...Mine was just fine...

I actually did cook it in there. However I mostly use those things to carry other food to work and re-heat it.

I don't have that cooker, because of its inferior design and quality of construction, compared to other similar units. I returned it to the store where I bought in less than one day without even firing it up. There are other units out there at comparable cost that are much better designed and constructed. Regardless of what you use, I would recommend that you should plan on cooking several relatively small portions rather one huge batch all at once.

Yes you can fry anything you fry on top of the stove in the deep fryer and it will come out delicious!!

Same way you would use any other cooking oil. For example, I just put a teaspoon full into a pan, heated it, and fried eggs in it. That was easy! You could also add it to other foods. Anything that requires oil can use this.
