Overview

Backyard fish fries and outdoor entertaining are what this Bayou Classic cooker is built for. A fry pot with basket rests on a welded frame over a cast aluminum burner, fed through a regulator and braided hose, with a lid and fry thermometer included.

Pot, lid, basket, thermometer, burner and hose arrive together on a low welded stand, so there is little to source separately. The small pot limits batch size, and feeding a crowd means several rounds of frying.

Who it's for

Weekend cooks who fry fish, chicken or corn fritters on a patio get a complete starter set in one box. Hosts who need large batches or a stated burner rating should look at a bigger setup.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pot, lid and basket included
  • Fry thermometer comes in the kit
  • Braided stainless hose on the regulator
  • Welded frame, light to carry
Cons
  • Burner heat output not listed
  • Small pot limits batch size
  • Low stand means bending over the pot

Performance notes

Frying results depend on how steadily the regulated burner holds oil temperature once cold food goes in, and the included thermometer is the only gauge for that. A small volume of oil loses heat quickly when loaded, so frying in smaller batches lets it recover between rounds.
