Great Fryer but read the instructions
We have been using another electric fryer that we purchased from Amazon for the last 6 years. I gave my propane fryer away when we got the electric and switched to the ability to safely fry in the garage or on the deck and with the ease of auto-regulation of oil temperature. The oil dosen't get as degraded with an electric and you are able to drain it from a spigot at the bottom back into the container the next day without any muss or fuss.
This new fryer is even better.
- Less oil...2.5 gallons rather than the 7-8 that I needed in the old unit
- magnetic break-away plug for greater safety
- quicker cooking...More like 3 min per lbs than 3.5 min, just check for a temp of 160-170 (see next line)
- easy to check the birds temp, just stop the rotisserie, pull up the basket onto its safety stops and stick in a thermometer
- self draining basket, pull the basket out of the oil onto the safety stops, rotate the bird so the cavity faces down to...
Worked like a charm!
Easy to use as directed. Make sure to tie turkey as directions say so it will turn correctly. Doesn't use nearly as much oil as outside fryers, and easy clean up. I personally would use this outside under cover just because it does leave that famous fry smell and I'm not that fond of it lingering. Turkey came out awesome and can't wait to use on chickens and other smaller items!
A Worthwhile Investment
I bought this turkey fryer because I know deep fried turkey is the best! The manual comes with handy recipes and I tried the Cajun Fried Turkey one for this past Christmas dinner and family and guests complimented me on how good-tasting and juicy the turkey was. I gave it four stars because the 17.98 pound turkey cooked well at first on the automatic rotisserie rod, but towards the end the turkey just sat frying on one side in the oil without rotating anymore. And it was annoying to continuously raise the turkey from the oil and line the gears up.The directions state this fryer can cook up to an 18 pound turkey, but I guess the weight was too much for it since the gear on the spit rod didn't want to remain in contact with the gear at the front bottom of the fryer, which rotates the turkey as it fries in the oil, but eventually the turkey got done. A premium Waring Pro thermometer comes in the box and this was great in making sure the turkey was well-done (165 degrees Fahrenheit) when...
