CJ, check in please. It appears turkey frying can be dangerous.

I fried 7 uneventfully yesterday.

Rule number one: Fry outdoors.
Rule number two: Wear long sleeves, gloves and eye protection
Rule number three: Do not overfill fryer
Rule number four: No children, pets or alcohol

Yep, stuff like this *always* happens in Brooklyn. Usually, it's fireworks in the home on July 4th...

November 28, 2003 -- Two women were badly burned yesterday as they tried to deep-fry a turkey at a home in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn, officials said.

The mother and daughter had second-degree burns on their arms and legs after they were splattered with hot oil at around 2:30 p.m., Fire Department officials said. It was unclear how the Thanksgiving Day accident occurred.

Fire officials said the women could have been using a pot or pan unsuited to frying a turkey - or that the bird could have contained water that caused the oil to splash and spit.
