Well, you guys have sealed the deal as far as I'm concerned. Cons: *Frying (can't get my head around the frying part) :blink: *Potential fire hazard *Peanut oil (I'm allergic to peanuts!) *Possible dry bird *Wizened old man resemblance! Pros: *Him indoors - no, outdoors doing the cooking! And as for Thanksgiving .. we're going out now LOL :rofl: |

I have to say it sounds utterly disgusting to me, but my OH has been raving about it - so much so he's looked up the frier and is threatening to buy one :eek: So, do they get a :thumbsup: or a :thumbdown: :confused: |

Plus last year some distant relative kept coming into the kitchen asking how much longer before she could mix her marshmallow/fruit salad (blech!) while I was trying to get the sweet potatoes to finish roasting. I was about ready to roast her. :o
Yikes, I would have thrown her out bodily along with her marshmellow fruit salad (Ambrosia?????) ingredients. Could you not have handed her a double strength martini and shoved her into a corner in the living room? |

OMG you found someone to marry you????????????????????????? And stay married to you?????????????????????????????? I'm aghast. Come on ladies, this poor woman needs an intervention ASAP. |
Re: Deep fried turkeys
It was probably about 4 years ago now, I think it was our first Thanksgiving after we moved out of the apartment, but anyway - someone on our street managed to burn their house down with one of those things.
Because we were unincorporated fire departments from at least 3 towns showed up, I saw at least 8 appliances going down the road (where they met a dead end and all had to reverse back up again when they were done). The house was at the bottom of a reasonably steep hill but you could see the tips of the flames above the tree line. No-one was hurt, thankfully. After having a yarn with the firefighters on their way back up the street, it seems like they had thrown in a still frozen turkey and buggered off out to the shops, only to come home and find the house ablaze and 3 towns worth of fire engines and water trucks all around putting it out. I know I don't cook them so I am in no position to talk but I'd miss not having the house filled with the smell of roasting turkey as it cooks, and my wife doesn't seem to mind anyway. I've had deep fried turkey legs outside of Thanksgiving though, they're not too bad but just not the same as roasted. Deep fryers are for chips, and the associated battered goodies you get from the chippy (and the occasional Mars bar :)) |

If they are good enough for Captain Kirk, they are good enough for anyone. :)

Re: Deep fried turkeys
We had two fried ones last year at various times. The one that was freshly fried was sort of OK, but it turned out a bit greasy. The one that was cooked the day before was disgustingly greasy. Think we'll be back to baking this year, but the jury is still out...a family divided:D
I was in Home Depot the other day and they are selling fat free turkey friers... huh? Apparently its as quick as frying, but it uses infrared heat instead of hot oil so is supopsed to be both safer and healthier. Anyone tried one? Do they work? |

Lets face it chips taste good because they're fried in fat.:D |
Re: Deep fried turkeys
Someone posted a while ago that they had one of those no fat fryers. Said the chips tasted good. I looked at the prices at the time and they were about $300 if I remember correctly.
