Enamel Deep Fryer Pot with Basket — Menzir Begonya, 3 Piece

menzir begonya enamel deep fryer pot with basket — 3 piece set

The enamel deep fryer pot is the traditional vessel for deep-frying in Turkish and Middle Eastern kitchens — before purpose-built electric fryers became common, the enamel pot on the stovetop was how börek filling was fried, how meatballs were cooked in oil, and how the large batches of fried food required for family gatherings were produced. The enamel coating is durable, easy to clean, and does not react with acidic foods or high-temperature oils.

The Begonya 3-piece set includes the pot, a frying basket, and a lid — the complete setup for deep-frying on the stovetop. The basket allows food to be lowered into and lifted from the hot oil safely, and the lid contains splatter between batches.

Why We Selected This Piece

At Rootsware, we carry bakeware that fits the Turkish and Middle Eastern kitchen — the round tray for borek, the deep aluminum pan for baklava, the casserole that goes from oven to table. We selected these because they match the actual formats of diaspora home baking, not the formats of an American baking aisle.

Care & Cleaning

• For nonstick and granite-coated pieces: hand-wash only. Never use metal utensils or abrasive scrubbers.
• For aluminum trays: hand-wash with mild soap. Avoid soaking for extended periods.
• For glass bakeware: dishwasher safe, but hand-washing extends the life of the piece.
• Dry thoroughly before storing.
