Step 2:
Place pot with oil on fryer. Make sure thermometer is clipped to side of pot. Do not use lid when heating
or cooking with oil. Bring liquid to the desired cooking temperature (325°-350°F for frying) approximately
20-30 minutes. Never leave heating oil unattended. It can ignite. Carefully monitor temperature and never
allow oil to reach “Fire Hazard” zone on thermometer.
Step 3:
Pat the turkey dry and sprinkle Brinkmann Fried Turkey Rub’N Spice or other seasoning between skin and
meat of the turkey.
Step 4:
Place seasoned turkey with the neck cavity pointing up on Turkey Stand or place turkey in basket.
Wearing protective gloves and clothing, use the Hanger to slowly lower stand or basket into hot oil. It is
important to maintain a temperature between 325°(150˚C) and 350°F (175˚). Regulate the flame with
regulator control knob as needed. Do not let oil overheat as a fire may result.
Step 5:
Estimate cooking time by the formula of 3
1
/
2
minutes of frying time per pound of turkey (example: a 10 lb.
turkey should cook approximately thirty-five minutes). Check doneness with a meat thermometer after
removing turkey from hot oil. Use caution as food will be very hot.
Step 6:
When food is done, turn fryer OFF. Always turn propane cylinder valve OFF first, then turn the regulator
control knob OFF. Allow fryer and oil to cool completely. Never attempt to drain oil or move pot until oil
has cooled below 115˚F (45˚C) - Severe burns could result.
WARNING:
To remove the Turkey Stand or 7” Strainer Basket, grip the turkey hanger firmly with
both hands and insert through hole at top of Turkey Stand or under notched handle of 7” Stainer
basket. Only use the Turkey Hanger provided with your fryer kit. Use of any other item or hanger
could lead to personal injury.
WARNING:
Always remove the Turkey
SLOWLY
from boiling pot to allow hot liquid to drain. Lifting
Turkey out of pot too quickly may cause hot liquid to splash out of boiling pot and could result in
severe burns for anyone near the pot. Be sure to lift straight up and attain proper clearance above
rim to prevent overturning pot with hot liquid.
WARNING:
When using 10 quart Pan & Basket, always hang basket directly over pan on the hang
tab. This allows hot liquid to drain back into the pan. Hanging the basket in any other way could
cause the pan to tip over, spilling hot liquid.
