Turkey Fryers Deep Frying For Thanksgiving
By Ginger O’Riley
You might be like many people who shook their heads in disbelief
and who were on the verge of being horrified the first time they
heard someone mention that they were going to be deep frying turkey
for their next Thanksgiving get together.
But, after the shock wore off and people picked their chins back
up off the floor, they learned that there are actually some very
good reasons why people drop their Thanksgiving bird into a vat
of scalding oil in turkey fryers.
This method of cooking turkeys has actually become so popular
in some parts of the country, being primarily down in the deep
south, that there are now specialty deep fat fryers that are built
to handle the deep-frying of a whole turkey. These turkey deep
fryer models are extra large and have the kind of oil capacity
to be able to completely submerge a whole bird that is up to about
20 pounds.
Dunk Your Turkey Into A Vat Of Deep Fryer Oil In Turkey Fryers
Most people assume that if you dunk a turkey into a vat of deep
fryer oil in turkey fryers, the result will be a greasy meal that’s
not so appetizing. But, exactly the opposite is true. Because
the turkey is almost immediately sealed by the hot oil, all of
the juices and flavor is trapped inside and the result is meat
that is moist and flavorful throughout.
At the same time, a turkey fryer makes the skin of the turkey
incredibly crisp and delicious and for some people, that is their
"new favorite" part of the holiday feast. The experts
at deep-frying whole turkeys say that one of their "secret"
tricks to keeping the bird be so juicy and full of flavor is to
inject the turkey with various types of sauces, seasonings, and
flavorings before dropping the bird into the sizzling vat of deep
fryer oil.
Seasonings And Flavor Additions
Some examples of the types of seasonings and flavor additions
that many use to infuse their deep fried turkeys before putting
them into a turkey fryer are things such as: a bottle of liquid
garlic juice; a bottle of "Cajun Sunshine" sauce, or
a bottle of Tiger sauce.
According to various cooks who have experimented with injecting
such things, it is ultimately up to the cook and their tastes
and just about anything can be added to increase the flavor component
of the turkey.
The Additional Seasoning Permeates Into The Bird
Whatever type of additional seasonings are injected into the
turkey before it is submerged in to the depths of a turkey fryer,
the main benefit is that the seasonings will be sealed into the
turkey almost instantly and won’t cook off, but will simply permeate
deeper into the bird as it goes through the deep frying process.
There are quite a few models of turkey fryers that have already
hit the market since this cooking method started to catch on.
You can review your options with the most popular brand, the "King
Kooker" and it is a complete turkey deep fryer kit that comes
with the burner, large cooking pot, thermometer, and a lifting
basket that helps to get the turkey in and out of the hot oil
safely.
These fryers are designed to be used strictly in the out of doors
and can be found wherever barbecue equipment is sold.
