Turkey Deep Fryer

Electric Turkey Deep Fryers

I like eating fried foods which are cooked in a deep fryer.

I like eating fried foods which are cooked in a deep fryer. Deep fried food is usually crispier and absorbs less oil than other traditionally cooked food and that is the reason why I like them.

Lately I tried several ways to deep fry a whole turkey, and let me tell you, it tastes better than a turkey cooked traditionally in an oven. Due to their big size, you need a big deep fryer that is specifically designed for deep frying turkeys.

Due to great interest shown my many deep fry lovers, there are many turkey fryers available in the market today with lot of features. Deep frying requires large amount of hot oil and often can cause oil burns, if not used properly.

To account for this, these turkey fryers have in-built safety mechanism to give maximum protection and make your frying more pleasant.

They do not involve hot oil and hence you need worry about spilling them on yourself. An extra advice to turkey fryers is to try this outside your home. This can be done conveniently in your garden or open space. Deep frying a turkey also requires less cooking time.

Baking requires around 20 minutes baking a pound of turkey, but you can deep fry a 12 pound turkey in under an hour. Deep frying also cooks your turkey evenly, thus adding great taste and properly cooked moist turkey.

If you are planning for frying a turkey, or are a turkey lover, I suggest you buy one of these dedicated electric turkey deep fryers. You are protected from any mishap that can happen due to hot oil. They cost from $50 to $200.

Expensive ones come with additional kits containing cookbooks, utensils. I suggest choosing the one that matches your cooking preference and gives you good safety.

Some companies have brought out electric turkey deep fryers, but most of them are hooked on to gas or propane based deep fryers. Your cooking preference decides the selection.

You can control the fire in a propane based fryer and control the temperature in electric fryers. As long as you know how to cook a bird well, it should not matter which fryer you chose. A good cooking is more important than the selection of a fryer.

To add great taste to your deep fried turkey, you should season it all around. This can be done by either making cuts and injecting seasoning ingredients or rubbing the seasoning all around the turkey. Many of these electric deep fryers come with cook books which give you great recipes for cooking tasty turkey.

There are many recipes available online which can provide good seasoning ingredients. One of my favorite is the Cajun style seasoning, but you can choose out of many other varieties available online.

Whatever seasoning you chose, make sure that it’s applied evenly all around the turkey. Make sure that you keep aside the turkey after seasoning for a while, so that the seasoning penetrates inside. This adds to the taste. Deep fry it as per guidelines of your electric fryer and taste a difference.
