Thanksgiving is right around the corner. For many, this means spending hours in the kitchen, roasting the turkey in the oven, making all the sides and even baking a dessert or two. The turkey takes up a lot of space in the oven, and often takes a lot of time. Roasting the turkey has come to be expected. Why not try something different this year and use a specialty fryer to cook your feast?
Save Time
Roasting a turkey, especially a larger bird, can take several hours in the oven. Sometimes, you just don’t have that kind of time. You may have other responsibilities that keep you from getting a turkey into the oven at the necessary time or you may not even be home to keep an eye on it. Using a specialty fryer greatly reduces the amount of cooking time, allowing you to keep your focus on other important obligations.
Save Space
Let’s face it, the oven is a coveted space on Thanksgiving. Not only do you need to roast your turkey, but you have other items that require time there as well, from dressing, to casseroles to desserts. The turkey often takes up the most amount of space, creating a problem when you have other foods that need to bake. Open up the space in your oven by using a specialty fryer for your turkey.
Specialty Fryers Create New Flavors
When you roast the turkey year after year, the flavor becomes predictable, and can even get boring. By frying your turkey, you create a whole new flavor profile. White meat becomes tastier, dark meat becomes juicier. The skin becomes amazingly crispy and delicious. Your family won’t be able to get enough of it.
Create a Theme
Why stop with the turkey? Fried foods are amazing and a specialty fryer creates a delicious main course. Create a theme and fry up some of your other Thanksgiving staples as well. You can fry all kinds of foods – potato balls, cranberry sauce fritters, stuffing balls, green beans and even pies and truffles!
Be Safe
Frying your turkey incorrectly can result in some major issues, including serious burns and devastating fires. It is important to practice proper safety. Choose a specialty fryer with a lid that seals closed. Make sure your turkey is completely thawed and thoroughly dried before immersing it in oil. Always keep the fryer in sight and make sure that children and pets steer clear. And when using the fryer, make sure that bare skin is covered in case oil spits or splashes.
Don’t give your family the same old expected feast. Try something new this Thanksgiving and fry your turkey with a specialty fryer. You might even just start a new tradition!
