Can I plug the FRC-10E into a normal kitchen outlet?

No. It draws 18A at 208V single phase, so it needs a dedicated 208V circuit. Check your outlet and breaker before buying.

How much food does it fry at once?

The basket holds about 10 lb, matching the 10 lb oil capacity. Fill the basket loosely so oil can circulate and food crisps evenly.

Yes. The heating element lifts up out of the way so you can drain the oil and wipe the stainless tank. There is no drain valve, so you empty it by hand.

Can it fry two different foods at different temperatures?

Not at the same time. It has one tank and one thermostat, so you fry in batches at one temperature, then reset it for the next food.

What comes in the box?

The fryer with its stainless steel basket and lift-out element. Oil is not included, and you will need a 208V connection to run it.

Is it worth it over a smaller home fryer?

If you fry often for groups or run a small food business, the larger capacity and sturdier build justify it. For occasional small batches, a compact home fryer is simpler.
