|
| You can say that the use of turkey fryers for those holiday turkeys has become extremely popular. Since big name celebrities have started cooking these birds on their television shows people are all over themselves to make them for their own holiday dinners. While, these fryers do produce tasty birds they can be quite dangerous if the cooking process isn’t done properly. There have been increasing reports of fires and explosions and even burns by those eager to try the deep fried turkey for the holidays. Deep fryers can be extremely dangerous, especially if you buy cheap fryers that only have small tripod stands. To ensure that you have the best holiday possible and the safest holiday possible you should follow recommended safety precautions when cooking a turkey in any fryer. Best Tips for Using Turkey Fryers: • You should always use a turkey fryer outdoors! It is not meant for indoor use and if something goes wrong you can catch your house on fire. • Further more, you should never use a turkey fryer on a wooden structure like your porch or a picnic table. It can catch the wood on fire. • The turkey fryers should be placed on a flat surface to reduce the chance of it tipping over. • Do not leave your turkey fryers unattended when frying food. It must be watched at all times to ensure maximum safety. Many fryers don’t have thermostats on them, so the fryer will continue to heat the oil until it actually catches fire. • Keep your children and pets well away from the fryer when in use. They could inadvertently knock it over and burn themselves. This applies even after you’ve stopped using the fryer as the oil can remain dangerously hot for hours afterwards. • Do not over fill the fryer with oil. It will rise up and spill over the sides of the fryer. It’s suggested that you place the turkey in the fryer first and then fill up the fryer around it with water until the turkey is covered by ½ inch of water. Mark the water level with tape. Remove the turkey from the fryer and pat dry. Empty the water out of the frying pot and dry inside then fill it back up with cooking oil to the level you marked. Once the oil is hot you can place the turkey in it slowly and safely to fry. • You should also use as much safety gear as possible when cooking with a fryer. Keep those safety goggles on, and wear well insulated, preferably heat proof apron and oven mitts. • You must also make sure that the turkey is completely defrosted. Start defrosting the turkey a few days before you deep fry to ensure that it’s not frozen inside. A frozen turkey is one of your greatest risks for starting an oil fire. The water can lead to oil splatter and cause oil splatter and cause an explosion. Turkey fryers can be dangerous when misused, but you can enjoy the turkey fryer for a long time to come if you follow proper safety guidelines during the holiday cooking.
