How many pounds of food can be cooked in oil before having to change?
At the Spring Fishing Classic’s, we cooked at a number of Bass Pro Shops. We
used the same oil at all events - we prepared over 400 pounds of food. The oil
was still producing wonderful food.
13.
What type of oil do you use in fryer?
All types of oil can be used. Most peo-
ple use vegetable oil. Peanut oil is good, but some people have allergies to
peanuts, so vegetable oil is usually safest when cooking for a large crowd.
14.
Which size fryer do you use to cook turkeys?
Starting with the 6 gallon size;
6 gallon will cook 1 turkey at a time, 8 1/2 gallon - 2 at a time, 12 gallon - 3 at a
time and 17 gallon - 4 at a time.
15.
How many turkeys can you cook before changing oil?
12 - 13 - When you
inject a turkey, the butter seasoning and juice will get into your oil as it cooks
and affects the quality of your oil. After cooking 12 - 13, you will need to inspect
the oil and determine if you can cook anymore. But we recommend 12 -13 to be
safe.
16.
How long do you cook turkey?
3 ½ minutes per pound @ 350 degrees.
17.
Can you use the oil from frying turkey to fry anything else?
NOT RECOM-
MENED because injectable marinade gets into oil and will affect taste and qual-
ity.
18.
How do I change from Propane to Natural Gas?
Contact R & V Works and
we will ship you the natural gas jet. You will need to contact your natural gas
supplier to find out what type of plumbing and regulator you will need in your
area. Natural gas regulators and propane regulators are different. They will not
interchange. Natural gas does not burn as hot as propane, so the oil will take
longer to get hot.
