Women are you tired of spending the Hoildays in the Kitchen preparing that Turkey. Think about it you spend several hours getting it ready and more hours of it in the oven heating up the whole house only to have that darn bird come out so dry it sucks all the moisture out of your body.

Do yourself a favor, buy your Hubby (or sigf. other) a Turkey Fryer for Christmas. Men love to cook over fire. (fire is good) It only takes about 45 minutes to cook and it's always moist.
The bird will come out a beautiful brown, just like it was baisted for hours. Never had a bad one from the fryer yet and have been doing it for over 10 years now. Once you've had a deep fried turkey you will never want to put one in the oven again.

Works darn good as a fish fryer too. Again it get the other half cooking and cuts you some slack. It took me a while to realize that gift my wife gave me was just as much of a gift for her.
 
saw them on tv tonight...had never seen one before..........looks like a good idea
 
I think I saw them on TV tonight as well. It may have been my local news although I am not entirely sure, but they warned that these cookers were dangerous and that there are saftey precautions that should be used. Unfourtuanatly, I didn't stick around long enough to see what it all was. Unless, it will be on at 11 tonight with my local news? I'll update you all if it is...
 
Bill, yes, it can be dangerous. Mostly by dropping the turkey in the very hot oil. It will boil over and burn you if you're not careful. It's just like dropping fish into hot oil --- it bubbles up. And, if the turkey is wet with water, it makes the oil pop even more.
 
There are a few safety precautions, but most are common sense.
1. Premeasure for the amount of oil. I place the bird in the pot and add water, from gal. jugs, untill its covered by about 2"of water. This lets you know how much oil you need. Make sure there is still room at top.
2. When you frist heat the oil, take it about 50 deg higher than cooking temp. Shut the fire off. slowly insert the turkey into the oil, be careful of bubbling and splatter. Relight the fire and bring it to cooking temp.
3. When it's done, be sure to let it drain good, oil can be trapped inside.

After you have done a couple you don't need to measure for the amout of oil, but always shut the fire off when inserting the Turkey. And please keep the little ones away.
 
Deep fried turkey rocks. We are making one this year. They are right, you'll never bake another one.

Another tip if you deep fry one. When you take it out of the fryer, put it on one of those broiler pans, where the excess oil/grease can drip through to the pan below. Keeps the bird from sitting in all that and getting greasy, also makes clean up a bit easier.
 
84, have you tried the injector sauces? We are using the Creole Garlic Butter one this year. In the past we have done the cajun and a homemade sauce that my sister makes. My sister said they deep fried a chicken this past weekend. She said that will be the way to make chicken for now on. :)
 
Star, you will like the Creole Garlic Butter injector. It is a mild spice, but has a wonderful taste. I also deep fry chickens. They are wonderful! Believe it or not, it takes more minutes/pound fry time for a chicken than for a turkey. (3.5min/#-turkey; 9min/#-chicken)

Just a reminder: ALWAYS use Peanut Oil! It is the only oil that can take the constant high temperatures without burning.
 
I hope so. I would like to try the teriyaki one but TWF does not like anything to do with that.

I have tried the teriyaki.  Good as a marinade, but not as an injector sauce.:(

Star, here's a suggestion. Once you get moved, you can deep fry a couple of chickens. Inject one with what TWF likes and you can inject the other with the teriyaki, then TWF can try a little (if he's not too chicken-pun intended). As I tell my kids (it doesn't work on them) you can't say you don't like something unless you try if first (maybe TWF).:D
 
I haven't done much Injection, normally just outside and let sit in frige for a day. Deep Fried chickens also and can't understand why it takes longer. Also use the set-up for making Deer Hash, such a long process to generate all that heat in the house.
 
The way it was explained to me, the reason it takes longer to deep fry chickens is the chest cavity is smaller. Therefore, less oil can get in and that is the reason it takes longer for a chicken.
 
We will see. TWF is not bad at trying new things as I have tried things that I didn't think I would like and was amazed. ie Frog legs.
