hungarianchick 0 #1 November 16, 2005 ...deep fried turkey? It sounds yummy, looks crispy and it cooks much faster than in the traditional way. (3 minutes per pound) + 5 minutes. On the downside you need a $#!&load of oil. So, what does it taste like? "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpchikk 0 #2 November 16, 2005 It's the best piece of turkey you will ever put in your mouth. Very juicy and also great if you inject it with something before deep frying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #6 November 16, 2005 Absolutely fantastic. Buy the oil at a place like Sam's or Costco, should only cost you about $20-$25.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #7 November 16, 2005 We had a deep fryer for just that. We used peanut oil. It tatse great, but after a while it is a pain. I mean how long do you store the oil in the pot? After you decide to toss it ... where? Its a lot of oil. So I prefer my turkey cooked that way, but I want someone else to do it, so I don't have to clean up. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmpnkramer 0 #8 November 16, 2005 It is AWESOME! I have had a couple cooked that way. There will be a couple of ladies at Z-Hills doing it this year. I had somme with them about 2 or 3 yrs ago.

We used to fry ours and as for clean up and disposal of the used oil. We did it out in the country and would have a bonfire that evening.

GARYC24 3 #10 November 16, 2005 It's good. Just wanted to note that every year, there is always at least 1 person who messes up trying to cook one.. either a fire, or injury.. Best to get correct stuff and instructions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #11 November 16, 2005 Best damn turkey in the world. Funny you say that, our Christmas party is going to have a southern/cajun theme this year, so my husband and I are contributing the fried turkeys.

Girlfalldown 0 #15 November 16, 2005 Deap fried turkey is so good and juicy! I also love smoked turkey. You marinate it in brine for 3 days or so and then smoke it at a really low heat for 8 or so hours and it comes out super juicy and tender. It melts in your mouth. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make BioDiesel out of it. actually BioDiesel is made typically from Soybeans or Corn. Using cooking oil in a converted diesel is what youre thinking of. Very few engines in the world are rated or mfg approved for 100% biodiesel.

We hope to support 100% in our Tier II engies in the near future. but as Tier II and Tier III engines come into play, specifically Tier III common rail injection systems, the fuel pump mfgs wont support it for lack of lubrication that is required to run those type of pressures. Bosch is one of them. But now were completely off the subject!
