    Easy to use touch screen, can stop and re-set time czcams.com/users/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB and temp at any point in the cooking process, unlike some of these (an Ultrean model we returned) that need to time down first to re-set, which waste power and time. Stays cool externally and the 3 beeps when done aren't that bad, 5 beeps for Shake reminder on the pre-sets. So far chiken, pork chops, grilled cheese, hot dogs, asparagus with prosciutto, frozen sweet potato fries, have all turned out really well. Holds 4 average drummies which works well for 2 people. The recipe booklet is great. This size unit doesn't take up too much space on the counter-top so that's a bonus. We're looking forward to using it even more in the summer instead of the oven, to keep the house cooler when we aren't barbequing. Less cleanup than with an oven. The detachable inner basket is easy to use, no problem with the screws as some have commented, but a simple screw driver would remedy that if it happens. We really love this little gizmo!!

    I’ve deep fried maybe 80 turkeys in the past 20+ years. I started out with the traditional propane deep frying method but now I use the Butterball Masterbuilt XL deep fryer and it’s so much more convenient and cheaper. You don’t use as much oil and you use no propane. Both birds will turn out great either way but I personally think the electric deep fryer has a slight edge. Great video!

    We've been using the oil-less Charbroil one for years and love it. You could leave it a little longer with the lid on and get it more brown than you did, but it will never be as beautiful as that deep fried bird. The big advantage to all 3 of these is that you aren't tying up your oven cooking the bird, so you can work on all your other Thanksgiving dishes.

    I have deep fried a turkey all three ways you have shown. I currently use an electric indoor oil fryer. Years ago I first used the propane fryer and I want to say thank you. You did everything that I did in using that propane oil fryer including the way you measure how much oil to put into the pot, how to prepare the bird, and all the safety aspects dealing with using a propane oil fryer.
    Deep frying a turkey for me is the best way to cook a turkey. All forms of cooking have their dangerous aspects, but if one will take their time and exercise some care it can be a very satisfying and enjoyable experience.

      When I started frying 20 years ago, 5 gallons of peanut oil was about $16. Now it’s typically between $25-30 for 3.5 gallons of peanut/soy blend and I have to buy 2 because 3.5 isn’t enough to fry an 18 pound bird. Still worth the money but I usually take care of my oil and try to fry 2-3 turkeys a year. HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🩃

    I know it's been a few years but were coming up on that time of year again. Last year we watched this, and went with the Butterball fryer because we wanted oil and simplicity/safety. I went with a cajun butter rub/injector and DAMN did it come out amazing. It came out juicy with crispy skin and the Cajun rub really set it apart from the boring old bird. I would highly recommend the Butterball fryer for your first deep fried turkey project. It felt much safer, no open flame, fully contained so it can't tip over and the basket made putting it in and taking it out so much easier. We felt safe enough with it to do it in the garage with the door open so we still got that Thanksgiving smell too :) Thanks Sam/boys for the great info!

    • @larthallor
      @larthallor Pƙed 3 lety +2

      And the ButterBall is designed for INDOOR cooking. It is electric, so it won’t ignite the oil and burn the house down. If anything, it is more dangerous used outdoors, in the rain.
      Also, it has a thermostat to keep the oil at the proper temperature. The skin color and juiciness difference between the two oil fryers is due to the time and temp they cooked at. The traditional method has to be tended and adjusted to keep a stable temp, while the electric fryer does that for you.

    I've deep fried quite a few turkeys, not commercially but for friends, family and myself. I'm up to at least 150 or so. I always use the original, traditional pot and Big open flame.
    First...
    #1 Safety rule for me.
    Keep the kids away. Its a holiday and everyone wants to have a good time and the last thing you need are kids running around with a giant pot of boiling oil.
    #2 Keep alcohol to a minimum while cooking.
    Ok, back to the good part.
    Many people don't like the dark meat, but I do along with my wife and others. When you let the legs just spread wide open like a gymnast doing the splits, the legs and thighs and sometimes part of the breast can easily get over cooked and dried out. I always..Always inject my turkeys. I use the creole butter flavor. Also, I always get a piece of wire and tie the legs together. I check the positioning on the rack so the legs will be on the side of the upright that allows the legs to be positioned high on the breast, keeping it from getting too much oil circulation around them...protecting them from over cooking.
    Note...
    You mentioned the dryness needed when putting the turkeys in the hot oil. Like I said, I always inject mine.
    So, they are not dry. I do however use a cajun/creole seasoning or rub.
    After injecting, I put the turkey on the rack and put a lot of the dry seasoning all over it and let it sit while the oil comes up to temp. This seems to allow much of the outer liquids to drip off and if you have the proper oil level, it gives you a fairly safe process.
    I also highly recommend a turley no larger than 14 or 15 pounds. Too big and you get too much meat that is over cooked, because the outer parts are just exposed to the hot oil too long.
    Good luck. Be safe.
