deep-frying pot; agemono nabe
A thick, heavy pot specifically designed for deep frying foods like tempura or karaage. Often wider than it is tall to allow easy turning of ingredients.
Put oil in the deep-frying pot and heat it.
This deep-frying pot is thick and doesn't lose heat easily.
A frying pan is shallower and used for pan-frying or sautéing, not deep frying.
Compound of 揚げ物 (agemono, 'deep-fried food') and 鍋 (nabe, 'pot').
