If you try to put a frozen turkey in a deep fryer it will explode.

I have deep fried many of turkeys and it never happened but then again the where all thawed or mostly thawed

This has been busted by mythbusters. The turkey doesnt "blow up", people usually either over fill the fryer and the turkey displaces the extra oil making it overflow and catch on fire or, it will bubble over too much and catch on fire...not blow up

:firedevilRight, but the MBs also have a pretty fine line between a fire and an explosion. It might not actually explode, but it will burn like mad. Won't be much fun hangin out in the burn ward while the fam fights the grease fire in the back yard.:firedevil

I fried many of turkeys and I don't understand how people don't see the part in the instructions that says to turn off the fryer before you put in the turkey. Its a bunch of idiots not reading the directions and not willing to sit at the fryer for 45 minutes that are burning down their houses.

That's not the nut of the problem. The problem is any free water (or ice) will flash over to steam as soon as it hits the 375 degree F oil. It'll bubble and foam right out of the pot. That's more than enough to give you one heckuva burn right there. Any open flame (like say, a burner?) can ignite the spilled oil, making the problem much worse.

Thawed, dry bird is the only thing that should be gently dropped in.

:laugh: It was a joke, I didn't do it, just saw the AT&T commercial

 

[TRNDRVR]

That's why I cook my turkey on a Weber.

Thirty years now. It's the ONLY way to do it. :chef:

for campfire fun and some awesome scars. Get a can, like an old coffee can, or pot, fill it with old crayons, or paraffin take the paper off the crayons. Put it on the campfire, wait till it starts steamin, and see who's stupid enough to lob a cup of water into it. I'm by NO MEANS sayin to do it. However it shoots flames about 20' and can lead to some nasty burns, oh, the memories.
