Turkey Fryers

4 Quick Tips for Using a Turkey Fryer

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.
