Operating Instructions

Deep Frying Turkey/Chicken

1. Add Oil: Fill the 36QT pot with cooking oil (e.g., peanut oil, canola oil) up to the recommended fill line. Do not overfill.
2. Preheat Oil: Light the burner and slowly heat the oil to 325-350°F (163-177°C). Use the provided thermometer to monitor the temperature.
3. Prepare Turkey: Ensure the turkey is completely thawed and dry. Use the marinade injector to add desired seasonings.
4. Lower Turkey: Carefully attach the turkey to the turkey rack and lifting hook. Slowly and gently lower the turkey into the hot oil. Ensure the burner is turned off during this step to prevent flare-ups.
5. Cook: Once the turkey is submerged, re-light the burner and maintain the oil temperature. Cook for approximately 3.5-4 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Remove Turkey: Carefully lift the turkey from the oil using the lifting hook. Allow excess oil to drain before transferring to a platter.
