Amazon.com ReviewA member of NordicWare's Restaurant cookware line, this 12-inch covered jumbo fryer offers discerning home chefs the same top quality found in commercial kitchens. The six-gauge pressure-cast aluminum construction spreads heat quickly and uniformly without damaging hot spots (an annoying problem with inferior materials), and the dark interior absorbs heat for faster browning and shorter cooking times. With a quality nonstick finish, the pan also effortlessly releases food and cleans easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Another plus for demanding kitchens: The heavy-gauge metal resists dents and scratching, and a concave bottom eliminates warping--so go ahead and put it to work! Extra-deep to contain splatters, the 6-quart pan is perfect for anything from grandma's fried chicken recipe to southern-style catfish fillets and comes with a tight-fitting, stainless-steel lid that resists stains, odors, and corrosion. All handles are riveted for a stay-cool touch, and a removable grip provides a comfortable, secure hold. Finished with a light gray exterior, the fryer has a sleek, modern style that looks handsome at the table or displayed on a hanging rack in the kitchen. The entire Restaurant line is NSF-certified for safety and comes with a 20-year limited warranty. --Kara Karll
