However, there are numerous safety hazards when using a deep fryer such as the risk of grease fires and explosions. Pikeville Fire Department has some tips for those considering cooking in this way. If you were to decide to deep fry your turkey, the biggest thing is to make sure you get your turkey in advance to be able to have it fall out. Because whenever you do happen to drop a frozen turkey into that large amount of oil that is hot, it's not only going to end well. And there are many, many videos available on the internet to be able to watch and prepare for it. The biggest thing that we can say is make sure that it's thawed out. Prepare your turkey the way that you need to and have it in an outside well ventilated area to be able to do your cooking. It may be cold on Thanksgiving Day, but just bundle up and be out there with it the entire time that it's cooking. It is also recommended using the appropriate tools to handle a turkey in a deep fryer. Pikeville Fire Department also suggests calling 911 in case of any emergency. If you were going to be deep frying your turkey, making sure that you have all the hooks to be able to get the turkey out whenever it is done. If you were to be just cooking your turkey in the oven, just making sure that you do have protection for your hands whenever you're getting it out of the oven. In the event that something were to happen, while you are cooking inside of the oven, is leave the door shut. If you open up that door to that oven, it's going to allow oxygen inside and allow the fire to grow further. But the best thing that you can do is leave the door shut, turn the oven off and let the big metal box do its job. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Collum.
