Move over wheel, it’s the Butterball Indoor Turkey Fryer
The folks at Butterball sent me their new indoor fryer to check out, and I must say I was dubious. However, I’ve now used a half dozen times without incident.
I fried a whole chicken, then a couple batches of french fries, simmered carnitas and seared meatballs before finally putting a 14-pound turkey to the test. Success on each front.
The machine does what it professes to do without making a mess or setting off fire alarms.
You can also steam and boil with the device.
Clean up is as easy as is humanly possible for a machine that holds a miniature vat of oil. Check out the video we shot.
By the way, the seasoning for the turkey was Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning, which performed beautifully. I brined the bird with half-cup salt and half-cup sugar in enough water to cover.
If you like to fry turkey for Thanksgiving, this is the cooker that will get you in from the cold.

Awesome! I grew up w/deep fried turkey at Thanksgiving. Most of the reason I don’t use mine so often is living in Chicago, it’s cold out & a pain around the holidays. I will be looking for one of these. We also use it for seafood boils as well. Oh the possibilities! Thanks.!
Great video, thanks I have been trying to decide if I should spend $100.00 for the fryer but I think I will go ahead and get it. The outside one we used one time it was way to much trouble.
Thanks again.
Dave… great segment…but you MUST get better/use correct knife! watching you try to cut that turkey with that small paring knife was painfull…:)
