chip pan
Deep frying pot
A chip pan is a deep cooking pot used in British kitchens for frying chips—what Americans call French fries.
The pan typically has a wire basket for lowering food into hot oil and lifting it out when done.
Chip pans were once a common fixture in UK households but have become less popular due to fire hazards; unattended chip pans filled with hot oil are a leading cause of kitchen fires.
The fire brigade issued warnings about chip pan safety.
