Masterbuilt Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer
Deep frying your turkey seals in the juices and makes the skin crispy, just the way turkey was supposed to be eaten, it is the quickest way to cook a turkey and it doesn’t taste greasy either. You have two choices when you want to deep fry a turkey, you can use an indoor electric turkey fryer, or a propane outdoor one.

The electric one is safer but slightly slower to heat the oil back up after putting the turkey in. The propane one has no problem heating up the oil again, but you have to manually monitor the temperature of the oil because if it gets too hot then it can ignite which would be a disaster. With the electric turkey fryer then it has a thermostat to regulate the temperature so you don’t need to worry about that and can concentrate on the rest of the dinner instead.

There is only one electric fryer on Amazon.com at the moment, but it is the top seller in the turkey fryer category, beating out all the propane models which shows just how popular it is.

The model I’m talking about is the Masterbuilt 20010109 Butterball® Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer which is currently less than $120 on Amazon. That is more expensive than most of the propane models (not counting the cost of the gas cylinder of course) but actually cheaper than some of them too.

For your money then you get a compact and professional turkey fryer that can cook turkeys up to 14lbs. You just set the temperature on the side and turn it on, wait for the green light to say the oil is ready, then pop the turkey into the porcelain lined basket inside and set the timer for about 3.5 - 4 minutes per pound and you are set!

Don’t forget you don’t have to use the Masterbuilt Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer just for turkey, you can fry lots of things in it, like corn on the cob, lobster, french fries, hot wings, shrimp etc, and you can even use water instead of oil and steam things if you want to.

This model has 159 reviews on Amazon.com and 85% of them are for 4 stars or above so people absolutely love this fryer!

Thanks! We're pretty much sold, especially for uses other than turkey. We'd use it probably several times a month. It's just Mrs.p6 and sometimes our youngest son now we don't make as much food at a time as we used to.

Of course I still need my BIG pots when I make massive quantities of Burgoo, Jambalaya and such, but that will be pretty much at family gatherings.
