Product Description
A breath of baby blue border with fine, delicate flowers gracing the blue while precious platinum enhances the trim In 1896 Joseph Lodge was strolling through the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee and discovered the perfect place to settle his family and start his cast iron manufacturing company. Still family-owned and run, Lodge is the world's largest and oldest manufacturer of cast iron products. Try your hand at homemade donuts or Southern fried chicken with this set, or use the pot alone for stews and hearty soups.
Amazon.com Review
Cast iron is one of those materials true kitchen aficionados love. It gets better with age and seasoning, won't warp or chip, and keeps food warmer longer. Put your seafood, veggies, hushpuppies, or beignets (French doughnuts--they're heavenly) in the fry basket, then lower into the fry pot. Just remember that cast iron is very heavy--this pot weighs 7 pounds--which is why there's a looped handle on the opposite side to help you lift the pot (use a hot pad). The pot has two pour spouts, and the kit includes a 5-inch thermometer that goes up to 400 degrees F. In general, you'll want to hand wash the pot with just hot water. However, prior to first use and occasionally thereafter, you should season it by washing it with a little soap, oiling it inside and out, and cooking it in the oven for an hour. The finish will soon turn black--the sign of a well-seasoned cast-iron pot. --Doree Armstrong

5.0 out of 5 stars incredible product and bargain, July 5, 2000
This review is from: Lodge 2-1/2-Quart Cast Iron Deep Fryer Kit (Kitchen)
I ordered this for my husband, whom is an avid fisherman. He loves to deep fry his catch. He has used it several times and has never made better fish! The basket and thermometer were very useful additions, and an extra bonus--to be sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice but too small to feed a family on fried fish., March 7, 2002

This review is from: Lodge 2-1/2-Quart Cast Iron Deep Fryer Kit (Kitchen)
This pan is great if you are single (or maybe a couple) but its too small for a family. (Get either the chicken fryer or the combo pan (my personal favorite) if you feed more people.

On the plus side, its nice and deep. Don't need to fill it to the top, as the food will displace some of the oil and yet it won't splatter as much as a shallower pan. So for a small fry job you'll save a lot of oil.

Cast iron is the material of choice for fat frying. Holds the heat, cleans easily, etc. The basket is handy as is the thermometer. As has been noted you can do the food in batches, keeping it warm in the oven until its all done. But you'll lose some of the cripness while you are waiting.

And you could use it as a plain old sauce pan. This is a handy size for heating soup etc. (No lid though, but I bet a good hardware store would carry a glass one that will fit. You might even find one elsewhere on this site.)

4.0 out of 5 stars good deal but small, July 12, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Lodge 2-1/2-Quart Cast Iron Deep Fryer Kit (Kitchen)
The thermometer and basket are a good deal. And cast iron is the recommended material. This set is very good and I've used it a lot. But if I had to choose again, I would just get a larger cast iron pot, a separate skimmer and a thermometer. Here's why:

1. the pot is small and it takes many "loads" to make enough food for 2 or 3 people

2. the food can stick to the basket

3. the small pot could overflow when you add food to the hot oil, which could create a grease fire (this has not happened to me, but almost)

If you don't mind keeping your batches of food and volume of oil small, it's great.
