1. Never use turkey deep fryers or outdoor cookers inside. Always find a level, preferably a concrete area to use your stainless steel turkey fryer. Keep plenty of heavy-duty oven mitts and a fire extinguisher handy for safety.
2. Use oils in your turkey deep fryer that have a high smoke point like canola, peanut or corn oil. Typically you will need from 3.5 to 5 gallons of oil to use in your outdoor turkey fryer.
3. Injecting the turkey with your favorite turkey fryer marinade or adding a seasoned rub provides extra flavor and juiciness to the finished bird.
4. Follow all manufacturers' instructions and safety precautions when using outdoor turkey fryers. Use turkey fryer thermometers to monitor your cooking. Find quality turkey fryer recipes and serving ideas that will make your fried bird a hit at any gathering.
5. The turkey fryer is the true chef's ultimate toy. Turkey fryers are big on taste and save tons of time for tasting instead of talking about it. Standard models include a burner, lidded stock pot, poultry basket, lifter, and thermometer. A variety of upgrades exist to give you the turkey fryer of your dreams.
6. If you're serious about turkey fryers, consider a quick upgrade by purchasing a stainless steel turkey fryer. Stainless steel is more resistant to rust, corrosion, and stains than other metals, thus prolonging the life of your investment.
