Sturdy Pot, Nice to have
I use this pot with my BC SQ14 outdoor burner. I picked it over the aluminum pot because SS is better quality and a better conductor. SS is easier to clean and for this combo, I can just wipe with a soapy sponge to get it squeaky clean. SS is much more expensive though.
It takes awhile to get the peanut oil up to the recommended temperature of 350F to fry. The temperature drops by about 15-20F once food is put into the oil. I've been doing my frying as of late right after getting it for Thanksgiving, so the average outdoor temperature when I've fried has generally has been around 40-50F.

VERY SATISFIED WITH PRODUCT
We are very happy with Bayou Classic 1101 10-Quart Stainless-Steel Fry Pot with Lid and Basket. It is of really good quality and shipped quickly. We would recommended it to anyone!
Not very good........
This pot is lightweight stainless steel. The bottom scorched through, (blackened) on it's first use. I used it on my stove's 16,000 BTU burner, but that has not been a problem for my other cookware. The fried chicken it produced was good, but I'm sure this pot can't stand up to heavy use. Buy it only for occasional use. If you plan to fry alot, buy a basket for your dutch oven or buy a commercial aluminum fry bottom/basket.
Sturdy fry pot, thermometer is not great
Got the fry pot with lid and basket for my husband for Father's Day. The pot, lid, and basket are great- heavy construction, though some assembly required for handles, etc. The thermometer that came with the fry pot gave my hubby a good laugh- it's basically a "thermometer for dummies" (i.e. when it hits the red line, turn the fryer off.) Good thing that the thermometer wasn't the reason I bought that fryer!
Stainless steel is too thin.
Stainless steel is too thin. item arrived with six dings on bottom of pot , its manufacturer box was torn and taped all over. disappointed that amazon would ship a product in such a condition. had to return it.
