can this thermometer be used in frying oil?

Yes it can, but be careful leaving the plastic head above the hot oil for prolonged periods of time. I just put mine in and out.

This thermometer ranges from -58 to 572 F it should work,but I would be weary careful if you use it for that purpose.Frying oils are extremely hot,it can cause second degree burns instantly.

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

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.

Never tried, we use ours to heat oil and fry fish. sorry. But we love it for that.

Sorry, I can't help you there. I bought it for my deep fry pan but I have not used this thermometer yet. I have not even tested if this thermometer is accurate or not. Sorry.

I have not measured the temperature of cooking oil. But I did use a meat thermometer and compared the temperature readings between the two. They were within a couple degrees of each other.

Don't see why not, I pour bacon grease into it now and save bacon grease to use in my corn bread. It wouldn't hold to much if your talk about deep fryer oil.

Probably, this would not be the best choice for reading meat temperatures. It was designed as a candy and deep frying, and for that it has few peers. For its purpose, this is my own favourite, but I have several thermometers in my kitchen. I use them all, as each is designed to measure temperatures of specific kinds of food in specific situations.

It's great for donuts and any type of deep frying. Just make sure you have a thermometer to clip to the side such as a candy thermometer to keep the oil at the right temp.

I would say no, the coating should be dry to use this machine. Drop something wet into regular hot oil in a fry daddy.

Yes you can.. I fried a turkey with it..The difficult part was measuring the oil.Wings would be no problem.

Haven't tried it for that yet. But if it works for deep frying, and other high temp items it should be OK if you are making enough to be able to suspend the end in without touching the bottom of the pan to insure a good temp reading. I do prefer this type over the old glass therm I use to have. Hope this helps.

It should be pretty accurate with a shallow amount of oil. If the amount of oil is deep enough for a standard thermometer, use it to compare against the laser measurement.

Absolutely! Anything you fry in it, you have to apply your own judgment by checking in on the status from time to time. I fry everything with it, from fish to chicken, to turkey. Make sure you fry in the garage with the door open or outside besides the building. The smell is not fully filtered out.

I don't think so. There isn't much of a bend in the handle, so won't go very deep into a fryer. I hope that helps.

Yes, if you wanted to. It can be used for many things. I sometimes will use peanut oil, my oil of choice for frying, and then deep fry some chicken in it. The height is great for splatter control, and pressure cooking the chicken reduces the cooking time.

I haven't but don't think I would try it. I would get a deep fry/candy thermometer to be safe.Neil
