Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 5-Quart Chicken Fryer with Iron Cover

 (20 customer reviews)

This is the first cast iron product that I had ever purchased. I was using layered stainless steel and nonstick cookware until I got tired of either having food stick on the stainless steel wok or several nonstick pans peeling after just two years of heavy use for each pan. I really enjoy using this 5-quart fryer. After only a dozen or so uses and it starts to show its' nonstick properties. It is vital to preheat the pot to sear the food properly so it will not stick. Cast iron is heavier compared to what I am used to, so cleaning this pot can be a chore at times.

I enjoy eating lots of rice, noodles, and pastas. Making fried rice on this pot taste really great (a good portion of eggs is crucial to good fried rice). A healthy diet should limit the intake of foods cooked in high heat (prolonged stir fry, grilling, deep frying). I pretty much use this to cook my daily meals as it adds more flavor when the meats are seared and not simply boiled like what my stainless steel wok...Read more

Being the proud owner of several other Lodge cooking vessels, I boldly tried my hand at frying. All I can say is wow.

The chicken fryer works wonders on chicken, veal, and cube steak. All of the cast iron properties come in to play when using the fryer, and it provides the control and the stability needed when frying foods. The heavy weight gives it stability, and the heat retention properties mean that you can control your cooking efforts more efficiently.

Try the fryer, you won't be disapointed!

I received the original order with a broken handle and it was promply replaced with free pick up. The deep fryer is one product also that is hard to find. I have been looking for this type for a long time and I have not found them in other store including big stores like bed and bath ,wal Mart or other store . The price is really right for me also.
