Overview
Saltlas's FK_3.5L is a 304 stainless steel deep fry pot with a fitted basket, lid and oil strainer, sized at 3.7 quarts total with a 1.6 quart max oil fill for frying small batches of fries, chicken pieces or tempura on the stovetop.
This is a stovetop pot, not an electric fryer, so heat control depends entirely on your burner rather than a thermostat. The oil fill line sits lower than buyers expect; several reviewers were surprised how little oil, about 6 cups, the max line allows, and more than one describes oil rising over that line once food went in. The listing claims induction compatibility, but a reviewer testing it directly found 304 stainless steel is not magnetic and it does not work on induction, worth verifying before buying for that reason alone.
- 304 stainless steel construction
- 3.7 qt total, 1.6 qt max oil fill
- Includes lid and built-in oil strainer
- Suited to gas and electric stovetops
Who it's for
Suits someone frying small portions for one or two people who wants a compact stovetop pot with a strainer built in rather than a full electric fryer. Not a fit if you cook on induction, given a documented mismatch between the listing's claim and at least one buyer's real-world test, or if you fry larger batches regularly.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers frying small batches for one or two people call it well suited to that job and easy to clean, including in the dishwasher. Two separate complaints stand out: the basket handle can unhook mid-lift if squeezed wrong, and the oil max-fill line is easy to overshoot, with one buyer overflowing oil after switching between food types. A third reviewer tested it on induction and found it does not work despite the listing's claim.
