MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD BEFORE OPERATION OF THIS APPLIANCE
The basket supplied with this appliance provides you with a wide array of cooking options. Please read
and understand the following instructions for correct use of basket and accessories.
A. Use of Basket for Turkey Frying
1. Reference Section A, pg. 19 for correct assembly of basket and adjustable lifting hooks for
turkey frying.
2. Pour the necessary amount of oil into the pot. To determine the correct amount of oil needed
refer to Determing Proper Fill Levels for Cooking Vessels on pg. 22. Never overfill the
cooking vessel fill line which is stamped on the side of the pot.
3. Light the cooker as per Lighting Instructions on pgs. 24-25. Never allow temperature of oil to
exceed 350°F(177°C). Always use a deep fry thermometer to monitor the temperature of the oil.
Refer to Thermometer Instructions and Safety Precautions for Deep Frying with Outdoor
Cookers located on pg. 21 for important cooking directions. Never leave the cooker
unattended!
4. Thaw and towel dry the turkey completely.
5. Place the turkey flat into the basket (breast side up.)
6. Wearing mitts for protection and using the two handed lifter, lower the turkey very slowly into
the oil. Be careful not to splash hot oil.
7. Cook turkey at 350°F (177°C) for 3 1/2 minutes per pound. When the planned cooking time has
passed and it is time to check for doneness, turn the gas to the burner completely off.
8. Make sure the burner is off before lifting the turkey to drain. Using mitts and the two handed
lifter again, slowly lift the basket with the turkey from the pot allowing the oil to drain off. Make
sure to drain all of the oil from the inside of the turkey cavity before handling. Place on a flat,
level surface and allow to cool before handling.
