How Not to Fry a Turkey

[wutwutlmao]

Unbelievably stupid.

[brendenpeterson93]

turn off the burner and cover the pot... jeez. It isn't hard to do.

[christian5791]

i know, i know, truth hurts, specific if you are a membership,  just you nickname says it all.

[TheBigmaxx]

poor turkey :(

[Wutzibutzi100]

How dumb could you be?

[missisfreddiemercury]

well you should not fry a turkey, ... give it in the oven for 4 or 5 hours, it's safe and healthier :)

[TheSokodelic]

stupid americans...

[AnAmericanSon]

@TheSokodelic Why don't you go the fuck home then?

[christian5791]

American idiots !

[djhawkti]

@christian5791 and the hate continues

[tauroneful]

@christian5791 How do you know they were not some euro trash practicing American dialect?

[wajona]

Was sich der ORF so alles einfallen lässt!!

[macaugroupier]

[heckathornmike86]

red neck retards

[Futschigama]

just cover it up you idiots...

[TheBeaux77]

I'm originally from Michigan but now live in Louisiana. My family living up north love fried turkey but now I use an oil-less fryer much better and safer.

[AnAmericanSon]

@TheBeaux77 Welcome to Louisiana, and Happy Thanksgiving.

[mossberg55]

do people in other countries cook turkeys like this or just silly Americans?

[TheBeaux77]

Nah, thats a bunch of yankees trying to fry a turkey.

[524pmdnyc]

@TheBeaux77 we don't fry turkeys up north. We roast them.

"I don't think that's working" - Helpful bystander

[cochranexyz]

The southern states must be represented in this video..... There must be a connection.

[armyvetmom]

separate the fuel source, i.e. propane, then either cover it with lid to snuff out flames or get the proper fire extinguisher that isn't water based. And if all else fails, try baking soda, works great for indoor cooking fires.

[TheDragonLake]

@armyvetmom more like if it happens at all 911 IS YOUR BUDDY!

[resqjason2]

why not just put a lid on the pot and leave it alone?

[quedorf]

What I will never understand is why people insist on frying a turkey so close to combustibles like a house. Not rocket science here.

[firealarmfreak5]

Camera Guy: I don't think it's working.

Ya think?!

[lordofmidgets]

Wow Just put a lid on it... REtards

[mattube91]

Hey noobie, dont try to extinguish an oil fire with a water extinguisher, it will just repand it. take an ABC or a K powder extinguisher. Or take baking soda. This is good for everyone at home or working in a restaurant

[charger042003]

um, maybe put the cover back on, and starve the fire of air. Then turn off the heat source.

[MrGreenTrees420]

one word :  LID

[wombleface]

@MrGreenTrees420 No kidding

[DOC8404FMF]

STUPID STUPID people. Ignorant white trash indeed. Water on a grease fire, REALLY???? I hope these dumb fucks never reproduce.

[FriendlyFire360]

@DOC8404FMF uh have you ever seen Idocracy? of course they will breed

[LesPaul1482]

wow..everyone knows your supposed to kick it over into the garage...duh!

[marigold1930]

hint: next time fry the turkey in the middle of the driveway, away from everything and everyone.

[51362879]

"OH BOY!!!!"

Why didn't they put that tub over it, instead of letting it sit in the driveway?

[tubefluid]

Hint: Next time, don't use diesel fuel for the oil.

[stewyisawesum]

Dumb asses put water in a grease fire

[residentfan2]

I especially enjoyed watching the fellow standing around with his hands in his pockets during the whole potentially deadly incident.

[maximilliansjs]

Idiots standing around drinking beers. White trash.

[chino4321805]

gayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blacktahoe07]

Place the lid on top, problem solved. Damm. You don't need a Phd for that.

[UFOSPACE1999]

Ok..I have accessed the situation here.

1. dumb fucking rednecks

2. dumb ass rednecks...with no clues

3. Just put that LID on that FIRE..and it will stop flaming up!!!

WOW and these people act like they live in HVTP....Happy Valley Trailer Park.

[thromb]

JUST KICK IT OVER!

[afloridaguy]

@thromb Oh that's brilliant! Not, Then you would have a massive fire LOL>

[StevenVicious]

i went from cars to this lol wow

[Treusch]

I love the cameraman's commentary "I don't think that's working".

[chuckeieio]

Just cover the damned thing idiots!

[coldfarted]

Every time I try to deep fry a turkey the dang thing flaps it wings and gets boiling oil all over the place and burns my house down.

[ipissed]

lid

[mrkingid]

morons

[skittlepower95]

why do americans deep fry everything ............americans gotta love em

[retrohippie]

@skittlepower95 you think WE deep fry everything? Try the UK...

Besides, you'd love deep fried turkey anyways. ;]

[skittlepower95]

@retrohippie yer i agree on both your responses

[EternallyRecurring]

@skittlepower95 because everything tastes better deep-fried.

[skittlepower95]

@EternallyRecurring it does, you just gotta try to get as much oil as you can off of it in the end.

[EternallyRecurring]

@skittlepower95 Doesn't the skin make a "seal" that keeps the turkey moist, hence the reason for frying? It's not like it's drenched in oil. The only part that should be oily is the skin and the surface. The meat isn't oily whatsoever.

[skittlepower95]

@EternallyRecurring ok yer that makes sense

[P3RSIANpinoy]

how many turkeys were hurt in the filming of this video?

[bashafacin]

know what your doing before you try to deep fry a fucking turkey or at least do it away from the house for fuck sakes.

[donaldjr1969]

How about standing 8-10 feet AWAY from the burning oil before discharging the extinguisher next time?

[scalzo31]

WAY TO CLOSE TO THE HOUSE

[jake2229510]

:30 "o yeah its working" lmao

[tdubblz]

at least you can laugh now. but seriously, every year many families loose their homes during the holiday season to careless mistakes like this. you gotta be more careful.

[xXPUN1SH3RXx]

Fuck deep fried! BBQ is the only fucking way!

[BestOf90sCCM]

I'm glad the dog didn't get burned

[abaybayable]

lol like 50 things wrnog ill name 3.. 1. its by the house 2.idiots dont read the instructions 3. they fucking cant put ti in a oven

[smitykid]

stupid

[mikehattan]

Read the INSTRUCTIONS you dumb-fux!

[rennyminou]

Very clever to have placed the fryer right near the house!

[pdxfaqx]

As soon as the fire started they should have called 911... When these fires happen they can get out of control very fast. So it is very important to get the fire dept there asap.

[DBengals1]

hahaha

[noshamejamezzz]

oppps damn there goes supper

[nikkisman914]

I was wondering who was in the running for the STUPIDEST a-holes in America...then low and behold......THERE THEY ARE.....!!!!!!! These idiots probably still ate the turkey when the fire went out....Absolutely brain dead.....

[MrObviousMan01]

LOL, with a big LID type thing right in front of them all...... Dohhhhh

[THEaTEAM52]

"we're fine...let it burn"

[januaryweek]

just tip it over. it'll go out eventually

[ZZZRSC]

You should never direct an extinguisher down into a tank of burning oil. It is like trying to fill a drinking glass with a pressure washer. Only a wet agent (not water) extinguisher should be used on burning vegetable oils. These are very expensive and only found in restaurants, not homes. A metal garbage can lid with a broom handle is the safest bet for a home owner with this type fire. Telling anyone to use any extinguisher on a deep fryer is bad advice, fire science instructor or not.

[KE5RHD]

That is exactly what an Oklahoma City Fire Department fireman did one summer at the State Fair of Oklahoma. A live shot was set up for an interview with the fair director when in the background a small fire broke out in a corn dog booth. While live on air an OCFD fireman picked up an extinguisher without first assessing the type of fire, grease. He hit it with a CO2 nozzle whereby the whole booth was soon fully engulfed in a total and complete blaze. Then he hit it with water and it flashed.

[wheelus928]

LOL!!!! I want me some deep fried turkey! :)

[kenntenn]

YUM !! I bet that was one great tasten' turkey !

[vacherieBoi]

why didnt this guy just cover the pot lmao

[tylertyler82]

You need a K fire extinguisher for grease fires, not an ABC.

[jlm993]

@tylertyler82 - The B in ABC means flammable liquids. An ABC works just fine.

[tylertyler82]

no not for grease fires. i am an insurance inspector and i inspect commercial kitchens all the time. if you want to be safe use a K for grease fires :-)

[jlm993]

I am a fire science instructor, residential fire extinguishers should be ABC, so the can handle 99% of home fire. k works best and can mandated for COMMERCIAL kitchens but not residential. I guarantee I have personally put more grease fires out with ABC than you have you have with all method combined. Many people come hear looking for advice.( not that they should, but they do anyway)As professionals when we post comments we should give accurate and practical info.ABC work great on grease fires

[georgetime]

That's why I cook my turkey by scorching it with model rocket engines.  A more controlled flame.

[UnoSemper]

HEHEHE

[boaterbil]

Grease fire= K class extingusher

[ptwolfe99]

It sucks you are in our gene pool

[earlstafari]

Carbon Dioxide extinguisher, get one.

[jcstinnett]

All you had to do was cover it with the lid!!!

[cccspizza]

was the fire dept. called?

[jbroussardva]

Additional info:

1. We never put the turkey in! The fire started while the oil was heating up. We had a couple of other turkeys being prepared in the traditional manner, so no one went hungry.

2. Both Fredengle and cockobean are right re: fireball source. The fire took off because the extinguisher jet hitting the oil roiled the surface and accelerated the combustion. We put the fire out shortly afterward by dumping in two large boxes of baking soda.

[thatghillyguy]

@jbroussardva You never just put the lid on??? Of all they ways to put it out you had to waste a fire extinguisher and them waste two large boxes of baking soda?

[thatghillyguy]

@jbroussardva and you also fired the fire extinguisher directly into the vat instead of over like you're supposed to and you guys didn't turn off the gas so when it spilled out it wouldn't light on fire.

[truckinjeff]

So how'd the turkey come out?

[airsoftguy92]

you NEVER use a fire extinguisher for a grease fire. shows how far you people went in terms of schooling, because you learn that in highschool.

[FreemanZee]

Yes, one can use a variety of extinguishers on flaming oils, ...but these are fucking reeeeeeeeetards who burn a fire under their overhanging asphalt tile roof.

[Alientank]

I think it's you that needs more schooling. Most extinguishers out there are dry chemical or foam, which you DO use with grease fires. Very seldom are pure water extinguishers made anymore.

[Warcrafter50]

Good advice. I have Firextinguisherology tomorrow second period.

[cockobean]

The most effective method would be to have a heavy wool blanket soaking nearby. 2-people can spread it out and gently place it over top of the flames to smother them.

[Fredengle]

you probably stood to close and did not give the agent room to spread out this is why they say stand 8-10 feet away

[gavinhodges]

Well done Rex (pun intended lol) We're coming to your house next Thanksgiving!
