How not to fry a turkey

[BUTCH1]

Instead of springing for the $50 to buy a deep fryer this dude decides to use his kettle-grill and charcoal to heat up the oil, here are the results.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-Pc6At9sek

LOL I love how the guy is explaining the science behind it and then actually thinks he is frying the turkey when the whole grill is engulfed in flames.

 

[DrPizza]

lmao.

His method probably would have worked just fine - if he didn't run the oil over the sides & if he could control the temperature a little better.

 

[FoBoT]

how do you know when it is done, just when all the oil is burned off?

 

[geno]

I like the fact that the flames started up when he had about 1/4 the turkey in. Take it out and let the flames subside to rethink this? Nah, go balls deep and just drop it in. F it.

I don't have a turkey fryer, my neighbor does and he turns off the propane while dropping the turkey then re-starts the flame once things have settled down. That important part is not possible if your using a bed of coals to heat the oil!

First problem: too much oil
Second problem: not regulation on temp
Third problem: Darwin didn't take over.

 

[SunSamurai]

Dumbass didnt account for oil actually bubbling did he.

 

[JM Aggie08]

He apparently didn't:

1) put the turkey in the pot with some water to see how much it displaces.
2) regulate temp
3) think

Lord, i hope this doesn't happen at my place today.

lol

Heating oil without regulation AND monitoring is extremely dangerous. Once it passes its ignition point you have a potentially life threatening situation! Even in the kitchen with a pan filled with oil - is dangerous.

I've seen overheated oil flash spontaneously, quenched and an HOUR later still hot enough to go POW! and flash yet again when the cover is lifted. Too bad many learn the hard (and painful!) way!

 

[MedicBob]

LOL. I have to convince a friend to try this at his house and not mine.

The oil was so hot moisture on the turkey turned instantly into steam spreading the oil around it all over the place. Add the flame bellow the pot and you have an instant oil fire.

Only Americans fry their turkeys this way.

I don't know any Canadians who would be this stupid.

I'm pretty sue the dog is the smartest mammal living at that house.

In reference to my last post, some Canadians are stupid tho. The boyfriend of my grand daughter's mom decided to cook some fries last week. He put a pot of oil on the stove and went out for a smoke. He then came back in the house and forgot about the oil on the stove.

Guess what!
The friking house burnt down along with all their properties and a few of their pets. Thank god everybody got out and the grand daughter was here wit us.

No, only this one moronic American was too cheap and that stupid to use a bed of coals to heat up the oil, if it's done carefully (and always outside) frying can be safe..

 

[Squisher]

Fry + roast = froast
