I have a beautiful Griswold chicken fryer (#8) it is 9" across the bottom and about 3" tall without the lid.
It makes great fried chicken but you cant put very many pieces on the bottom of the pan. I stack it and then constantly moving pieces around from top to bottom.
does anyone know the proper way to use this pan? Does it fry all the pieces because of the lid?
Other brands of non cast iron chicker fryers are about 12" wide.
