TURKEY COOKING SAFETY

DEEP FRIED TURKEY MAY BE A THANKSGIVING TREAT BUT PREPARING IT CAN BE HAZARDOUS. THE ALBUQUERQUE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE SAFEST PLACE TO FRY A TURKEY IS OUTDOORS.
ONE OF THE DANGERS IS HOT OIL RUNNING OR SPLASHING DOWN THE SIDES OF THE FRYER AND INTO THE FLAMES.
PUTTING A FROZEN TURKEY INTO THE FRYER CAN CAUSE THE OIL TO EXPLODE.
THE ALBUQUERQUE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO A DOZEN SUCH FIRES LAST YEAR AND URGES EVERYONE TO BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS WHEN FRYING TURKEYS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

Well you don't toss the turkey into the fryer!

Believe me. There are a LOT of stupid people and that's why firefighters have a job. Now imagine the video above, but inside a kitchen where the flame underneath the deep frier catches the splashed oil on fire. Yeah it's stupid and yes, it still happens, way too often

Well after years of joking with the wife about deep frying a turkey she called my bluff and gave me a turkey fryer for xmas. So I had to try it. On the up side the house didn't burn down and it did come out very tasty. On the down side after buying 4 gallons of cooking oil and getting the propane it was the most expensive turkey we ever ate.

lol I was thinking the exact same thing

Why the hell would you deep fry a turkey
