What is a frying vessel?

A frying vessel is a type of cookware specifically designed for frying food by submerging it in hot oil or fat. Frying vessels come in various shapes and sizes and can be made from different materials, including stainless steel, cast iron, or non-stick coated aluminum. These vessels typically have a wide cooking surface, high sides to prevent splattering, and a long handle for safe handling. Some frying vessels may also have features such as temperature control, a built-in strainer, or a spout for easy pouring. Frying vessels are commonly used for cooking dishes like fried chicken, French fries, fish, and various other deep-fried foods.
