Set includes frying basket. 6 quart deep fryer and stockpot all in one. Review: Very nice, but be careful not to fill too much . . . - This fryer is very nice, but do NOT overfill it. I filled it within three inches of the top and when I added French Fry cut potatoes, the oil bubbled instantly and overflowed the fryer. Fortunately it did not burst into flames but it was a moment of terror. There might be a max-fill mark, but I didn't see it or realize the potential problem. Otherwise, it's excellent in every respect and works wonderfully for French Fries. I was going to use it for fried chicken, but after watching Alton Brown's (Good Eats) YouTube video on fried chicken, it's my new method--except that I fry the chicken only for five minutes on each side to avoid burning the outer coating, and then I put the golden brown fried chicken on a metal baking tray with a "cookie" metal cooling rack and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 45 minutes to finish cooking the chicken. desertcart sells baking sheets with the 'cookie"cooling metal racks, and for home cooking this is the way to get golden brown fried chicken which is thoroughly cooked, yet juicy and tender. The Excelsteel frying pot is best for French Fries, tempura shrimp, and other food that needs to be deep-fried--just do not overfill it with oil, where two or three inches below the top of the frying basket is a good upper fill limit, so try it with a few French Fries and see how high the bubbles go). Review: Works Well - I bought this item to make homemade french fries. All you need to do is fill the fryer with oil, dice several potatoes and toss them in. In about an hour, you'll have the best french fries you've ever tasted. The basket is large enough to hold a lot of fries, and they come out great. The homemade fries made with this fryer taste better than any restaurant's fries. I NEVER add ketchup to the fries I cook in this fryer, as it would only drown out the great flavor they have. Side note: I only use olive oil when I deep-fry, as I've heard it does not clog one's arteries like most other cooking oils. Also, fries cooked in pure olive oil tend to taste better, as the potato slices absorb the olive flavor while cooking. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: There is a potential fire risk when cooking oil gets too hot. From what I've heard, olive oil is a somewhat greater fire risk than other cooking oils because it's "flash point" heat level is somewhat lower. The maximum heating level becomes even lower when the same olive oil has been re-used several times. Therefore, it is important to always dump out the olive oil after a few uses and replace it with fresh oil, and never keep your stove above a MEDIUM level. The fries will take some time to cook, but be patient. I assure you they're totally worth the wait! ## Features - Constructed in stainless for durability - Convenience - Encapsulated base ensures even and faster heat distribution - Maintains hygiene - Easy to clean ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0030T1KRK | | Best Sellers Rank | #445,299 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #430 in Deep Fryers | | Brand | EXCELSTEEL | | Brand Name | EXCELSTEEL | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 843 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00878201005236 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 8.15"D x 8.15"W x 7.25"H | | Item Weight | 3.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ExcelSteel | | Material | Steel | | Model Number | 523 | | Oil Capacity | 6 Quarts | | Part Number | 523 | | Product Dimensions | 8.15"D x 8.15"W x 7.25"H | | UPC | 878201005236 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** EXCELSTEEL - **Color:** Silver - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00878201005236 - **Item Weight:** 3.5 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** ExcelSteel - **Material:** Steel - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Oil Capacity:** 6 Quarts - **Product Dimensions:** 8.15"D x 8.15"W x 7.25"H - **UPC:** 878201005236 ## Images ![Excelsteel 6 Quart Stainless Steel Stove Top Deep Fryer,Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8118bv2QFPL.jpg) ![Excelsteel 6 Quart Stainless Steel Stove Top Deep Fryer,Silver - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PCW6MHFiL.jpg) ![Excelsteel 6 Quart Stainless Steel Stove Top Deep Fryer,Silver - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ttOKb5GiL.jpg) ![Excelsteel 6 Quart Stainless Steel Stove Top Deep Fryer,Silver - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911Jmt3M1vL.jpg) ![Excelsteel 6 Quart Stainless Steel Stove Top Deep Fryer,Silver - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P6485BWsL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the inside of the pot stainless steel or is it coated?** A: It's stainless. And, I might ad, not too difficult to clean. When you're ready to change the oil, I fill it about half to 2 thirds full of water (after dumping the oil) and add dish soap and bring it to a boil with the basket in it, the handle folded in and the lid on. then I let it set for 10-15 minutes. Dump that out and it's easy to clean anything that may have adhered to the inside of the pot or the basket. **Q: What are the dimensions of the pot?** A: Product Dimensions: 8.2 x 8.2 x 7.2 inches ; 4.4 pounds **Q: Can the lid be used with the basket inside for storage** A: YES! The handle folds down and the lid can also be put on while boiling the water (I only use it as a near perfect vegetable cooker, so don't know how it might work for deep fat frying). The basket stores nicely inside with the lid on. **Q: Is the basket also stainless steel?** A: The "magnet test" for stainless steel is a misconception. The most common stainless steel is 300-series (304, 316, etc.) and is non-magnetic 400-series stainless steel is magnetic. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice, but be careful not to fill too much . . . *by S***Y on December 19, 2021* This fryer is very nice, but do NOT overfill it.

I marked this down one star because of the basket. It does have an issue with the handle folding up when you try to flip the basket, you can read other reviews on ways people have dealt with it using clips and such. I bought this reading those reviews and knowing that the basket would be a bit to work with. For us that isn't a huge issue because hubby doesn't actually use the basket much and when he does he knows to be careful with the handle. The basket if sold by itself I think really would only get 1 star because of this handle issue. Otherwise the metal is all held together well and it is sturdy. It would be a great basket if they just fix the handle issue. The pot itself deserves 5 full stars, it heats up evenly and fries really well. It is the perfect size for a family of four while frying foods and can be used for other cooking projects when not being used for frying. Hubby is extremely pleased with this pot and recommends it as well. Clean up has been easy and the pot has been used a lot since we got it and it's still holding it's original shine and metallic color. The lid fits the pot, and all of the handles on the pot and lid are secure and sturdy. So basket 1 star, pot 5 stars...I didn't average it out giving this review lower stars because what I really ordered this for was the pot and I feel for the price the pot alone would have been worth the money we paid for it. The basket is just a really bad bonus item. ## Frequently Bought Together - Excelsteel 6 Quart Stainless Steel Stove Top Deep Fryer,Silver - Hiware Solid Stainless Steel Spider Strainer Skimmer Ladle for Cooking and Frying, Kitchen Utensils Wire Strainer Pasta Spoon, 5.4 Inch - KT THERMO Candy/Deep Fry Thermometer with Instant Read,Dial Thermometer,12" Stainless Steel Stem Meat Cooking Thermometer,Best for Turkey,BBQ,Grill,Analog display --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/4901022-excelsteel-6-quart-stainless-steel-stove-top-deep-fryer-silver](https://www.desertcart.us/products/4901022-excelsteel-6-quart-stainless-steel-stove-top-deep-fryer-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
