You know, 162747, you don't *need* to spam every Thanksgiving video you can find with your mindless vegan fundamentalist act.

You're only worsening people's views of vegans and vegetarians with your same old "MEAT IS MURDER!!1" antics.

Humans aren't herbivores. We weren't made that way. Stop shoving your tofu tirades down everyone else's throats!

I understand your logic but disagree. Grass is less stable than concrete. An unstable surface is not ideal for 20+ pounds of hot fryer oil. Additionally, you're concern about kids reinforces my point about the ladder contraption. As grass is an unstable surface a rouge bike, ball, or kid is more likely to tip a ladder or fryer on grass than concrete. This is another classic example of Alton Brown over thinking. In my experience it's usually best to stick with the basics.

because since its not near the sidewalk on the driveway, it is less likely that some random kid will knock the pot over. And if a spill happens, it won't make a huge mess.

Why?

[mvallin]

how does making a rink-a-dink contraption over hot oil on grass make this safer???

[klumzyee]

jesus LOL im surprised he didnt wear safety goggles and call the fire department to stand by -__-

[TheWoodlink]

zip tie idea is dumb and NOT safe

[grumpchong]

same here. everything i've ever heard about deep frying says that starting with oil that is not hot enough causes too much oil to get into the food. higher temps help to sear the bird and prevent this.

I have Google Documents for all of my seasonal meals ( Thanksgiving, Christmas, July 4th, etc). This ensures consistent meals and traditions; notes added each year insures mistakes are corrected as well as continually improved end product; shopping lists with a to-do list and time schedule makes sure nothing is forgotten; rounding out my Thanksgiving Google Doc is this video series with a turkey carving video. Stress free entertaining with no last minutes trips to the store.
