Turkey Fryer Safety Tips
I almost always fry a turkey or two each Thanksgiving. The Underwriters Laboratories don't like turkey fryers. You just have to be careful! When you have a large group, being able to cook a turkey in 45 minutes is really an advantage.

No, no, no, no, no ... this is just so very, very wrong, indeed (and obviously dangerous, as the video clip demonstrates ever so clearly).
You slowly ROAST a turkey over several hours, you don't attempt a deep-fry quickie, fer cryin' out loud (shudder).
Besides, that way you have *much* more time before dinner in which to imbibe copious amounts of ale ... !

No, no, no! Frying a turkey works great! I also like to roast a turkey, so that there are two. The roasted turkey helps the house "smell" like Thanksgiving, but if you need three turkeys, it sure helps to have the fryer.
If you've never tried it, you're missing out. It's not greasy at all, and the injected spices really make it interesting! No dressing though - that's one downside.
Well, you're addressin' a New Englander here, and you know how stubborn we can be (especially with respect to our time-honored traditions and such - real or imagined).
So's I sez to you, "Go ahead and fry up yer turkey as ye please, me boy, an' I hopes youse enjoys it - even if ye be thereby a fowl heretic and such!"
;-)
