Deep-frying Turkey Safety Instructions
Deep-frying the holiday turkey is a popular method across the United States, largely due to the short cooking time involved (about 3 minutes per pound, versus several hours of roasting in the oven). However, care must be taken to avoid injury or fire. Hot oil turkey fryers are so risky, in fact, Underwriters Laboratories refuses to certify them with the “UL approved” mark.
