long weekend

prof? if you do it right it's great. no offense, gonz...but you didn't do it right. the temperature is very sensitive and the turkey has to be as dry as possible when you put it in...not to mention that the fat has to drain out. if you are seriously interested, prof, i can contact some good old cajun men that do it 3 times a year.
 
One time, gimme a break :p

It was excellent, hot. Juicy (moist) is good. Once it cooled down it tasted like fried turkey sounds it would taste :shrug:
 
Honestly, up until yesterday, I didn't even know you could deep fry something that big. Now I'm thinking of deep fried pigs.

as long as you enjoyed it at the time it wasn't a failure....but the skin isn't so hot the next day, that is true.

Question (and this sort of seems to follow topic) has anyone here ever tried to deep fry a turkey?

I bought this yesterday. It's the exact same kit as I need for the corn boil, but (fortunately) the burner's rated at a reasonable 54,000 btu instead of the 85,000 offered by others. But, as it's a turkey fryer, I read the instructions on frying a turkey. 3.5 minutes a pound??? Is that even possible? Sure beats running the oven for 10 hours.

Those fryers are great, just be very careful with them, use them OUTDOORS ONLY and not on a wooden deck or anywhere else you don't want hot oil spattering. ;)

They are perfect for a Lowcountry Shrimp Boil, too. ;) :cool:

Taking the boy to the Tennessee Aquarium Saturday with a gramma (giving the wife-person a day off). Should be fun.

So you're saying that it's a good buy? Phew. I'll print this out for the missus. Now she can't beat me for spending the money.
 
I'll testify to that 3.5 minutes/lb. We cooked a couple of birds liek that at Bills/Pats game and it hardly took any time at all. Incredibly messy process, but it was the best turkey I have ever eaten.
