Overview
A 2 quart, 304 stainless steel deep fryer pot from Saltlas with a frying basket, an oil strainer, and a lid, built with a double bottom for more even heat across gas, electric, induction, and ceramic stovetops.
This is a stovetop pot, not an electric appliance, so heat comes from whatever burner it sits on and the double bottom is meant to spread that heat more evenly than a single layer of steel. Saltlas caps the maximum oil fill at 1.2 quarts and includes a strainer for reusing or storing oil afterward. The 2 quart capacity keeps it suited to small batches rather than large fry jobs.
- 2 quart, 304 stainless steel construction
- Included basket and oil strainer with lid
- Double bottom for even heating
- Compatible with all stovetop heat sources
Who it's for
Fits someone frying small portions, one or two servings at a time, who wants an easy to clean stovetop setup with built in oil straining. Not the right size for anyone regularly frying large batches or big cuts, since reviewers found the basket and pot run small.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers frying small batches, things like french fries, onion rings, mushrooms, and small cuts of chicken, describe good results and easy cleanup, and several call out the oil strainer as a genuine convenience for reuse. The size is the recurring caveat: more than one reviewer found it smaller than expected and noted that doughy items like fritters can stick to the basket.
