New Members Mark 36 qt turkey fryer (cook lotsa other stuff too). Has strainer basket, aluminum pot, turkey lifter, 15 inch thermometer, valve hose/regulator, and heavy duty stand. Safe enough if you don't drop frozen turkey into hot oil.
The Member's Mark turkey deep fryer is a popular way to cook turkeys, using hot oil for crispy results, requiring careful temperature control (around 350°F) and specific timing (about 3-4 mins/lb), with safety paramount due to hot oil and placement outdoors. Key safety involves checking the oil temperature with a gauge, keeping the turkey fully thawed and dry, and lowering it carefully into the hot oil for a specified time, aiming for 165°F internal temperature for white meat.
