I love the fall/winter holiday season. Food is the centerpiece for bringing family and friends together in celebration of the season and major holidays.
I am preparing dinner again this year. I planned my Thanksgiving menu around turkey and who isn't?. The decision then was how to prepare it- roast, fried or smoked. Actually I'm going to do two turkeys- one smoked and one fried. Why not, there are so many good sales on turkeys this week. In addition, I have a new gadget which boosts my confidence that I can safely fry a turkey and indoors.
With only one week before Thanksgiving, I am going to give this gadget a practice run this weekend by frying a whole chicken using the same technique for frying a turkey.

This is my new Masterbuilt Indoor Turkey Fryer. Though promoted as a turkey fryer, it actually is an extra large fryer, steamer, or even a boiler. The first thing I told my hubby is that I can now cook him whole large red snappers- Huachinango! Notice how this unit comfortably sits on my kitchen counter.

The cooking element accomodates oil or water. Turkey cooks for 4 minutes per pound at 375 degrees. Allow 35 minutes for oil to reach 375degrees though it will probably take less time.

The fryer basket is promoted as holding up to a 14 pound turkey or maybe the ingredients for a low country boil to feed maybe eight or just simply a whole fried chicken.

Only requires two gallons of oil to fry a turkey. Minimum of one gallon of oil for smaller cooks.

Convenient spout to drain oil from unit.

Look for my follow up on my chicken practice run.

Great multi taking butterball indoor electric turkey fryer. I haven't tried using this. I been using a bayou classic 3066a 30 quart outdoor turkey fryer kit since then when frying a turkey. But I'd like to try this turkey fryer of yours soon.
Sylvie, I am curious to know how well it works as I am considering purchasing one. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
