Stay safe this holiday season – safety tips for deep-frying a turkey
Deep frying is one of the latest trends in preparing a Thanksgiving turkey. This method can result in a delicious holiday meal, but can also be dangerous. By neglecting to follow certain safety precautions, you could end up with an injury or a fire. Deep fryers can be dangerous because they can easily tip over, hot oil can overflow upon setting the turkey inside and they have the potential to overheat to the point of combustion. The following safety tips can help you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving this year if you plan on deep-frying a turkey:
• Read and follow all instructions that come with your fryer
• Fryers should always be used outdoors, on a level surface and located a safe distance from material that can burn
• Do not use a turkey fryer on a wooden deck, a wooden surface or inside a garage
• Never leave the fryer unattended
• Carefully monitor the temperature to avoid overheating
• Only deep fry small turkeys (up to 12 pounds)
• To determine the necessary amount of oil, lower the turkey into the fryer and fill it with water until it reaches one to two inches above the turkey. Lift the turkey out and use a ruler to measure the distance from the water to the top of the fryer. This is the amount of oil you should use. Be sure to dry the fryer completely before use
• Make sure the turkey is completely thawed before cooking. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels before placing it into the fryer
• The oil should maintain a temperature of 350ºF and can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to heat. Peanut oil is generally considered best for deep-frying a turkey
• Fry the turkey for 3-4 minutes per pound. For a 10-12 lb. turkey, the cook time is approximately 35 to 42 minutes
• Lower the turkey very slowly into the hot oil
• Keep a fire extinguisher near at all times. Never use water to put out a grease fire
