Purchased for frying potatoes and proved to be an ideal choice.
With the strainer, the potatoes drain much better than with absorbent paper.

We usually use 1 liter of sunflower oil and fill the strainer up to 3/4

without the strainer it is also very good for schnitzel, meatballs, etc

It is used exclusively as a deep fryer.
Good quality, the bottom does not warp, but the inner mesh is not easy to clean.
It catches a lot of grease from the oil that is difficult to remove.
Also, it requires attention to any oil overflow if it swells and spills onto the bottom. It is difficult to clean both the bottom and the inner rim of the lid.

I would recommend it as a quality cooking pot more if it is used as a saucepan.
As a deep fryer for its price, I would prefer to ultimately purchase an electric deep fryer to avoid the difficulties of cleaning burnt fats.

I only use it for frying. It deserves 5 stars because out of all the ones I've seen, it's the only one that the basket almost touches the walls and you don't lose any space.
