fryer

Bubbling oil vessel

A fryer is a device for frying food, typically a deep pot or electric appliance that heats oil for deep-frying: an air fryer, a deep fryer.

A fryer is also a young chicken suitable for frying—small and tender enough to cook quickly at high heat.

Pick up a fryer at the butcher's.
