Deep Frying a turkey question

Do NOT overfill the pot! This can't be stressed enough. It's better to underfill and have to add oil in afterwards then to have too much.

And when you gently place the turkey in, the oil will rise higher than you would think as the steam created will increase the volume of the oil.

If you've never done this, be careful. We do two to three turkeys a year in the fryer. Do it outside on a level driveway with no overhanging branches. Have a fire extinguisher near by. Keep kids way, way out of the area. And give plenty of time for cool down of both the bird and oil once you are done cooking. Measure doneness with a probe thermometer in the thigh of the bird, make sure not to touch the bone with the thermometer.

Oh and last thing... make sure you didn't leave the giblets bag in the turkey.

Takes a good 30 minutes to get your oil up to temp. I usually go about 25-50 degrees higher as the oil will drop fast once you put the bird in.

Best way to fill the pot is put the turkey in then fill it up with water until the bird is covered. Take the bird out and mark where the water is. This is how much oil you should put in the pot. You should have minimal oil spitting out once you drop the turkey in. Go slow when putting the turkey in. If you drop it in at once you will create a volcano effect and oil will shoot out straight up though the neck.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Waiting to see how the OT situation plays out is probably going to be a big part of the calculus.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If you draft players who can push the starters in competitions, then you have depth.  Gantt's focus is Week 1, 2026.  That is never my view.  if your focus is on talent alone, and if you do not consider the salary cap, then this is accurate.  If a player making $25m per season can be traded or not renewed because you have a player on a rookie contract who can do the job almost as well--before the maturation and experience occurs, then you may take a small step back for a moment so that you can leap forward later.  About Walker--LTs have done pretty well in Green Bay's system.  He is a good pass protector, and so is Freeling. About DT--they are often rotational.  Hunter will still play and he will improve with experience.  The WR field is not that crowded.  If you have 5 different WRs who can play, they usually do.  Hecht might have the best opportunity to take a starting job, and he is a fifth rounder.   So you look at the cap and the idea is to start as many on rookie contracts as possible.  Does that mean to start rookies day 1.  Nope.

      It better be, if it wasn't for the Stank line we might have lost in the first round - Ottawa found a way to shut down our first line completely.
