Ron,

I lid the fryer till it cools, then drain it back into the container. When the oil is pouring, I use a fine-mesh container to strain the oil. Found you can use it 3 to 4 times easily if cooking potatoes. 2 to 3 times after a turkey.

Hi David,
Is the oil used only one time or can you use it over and over again ? Also if you can re-use it, how many times can it be used ?
Thanks

Kristin,

I was surprised how little smoke the machine put off, but there is no avoiding a certain amount of aroma. I will say, the aroma was good, however, I can see where if you didn’t move it out of the room in question it might eventually turn into an “old grease” smell that you wouldn’t want.

What I do is move it onto the back patio once it’s cool enough to transport and drain it there, using the original oil container.

Hi Dave! Great video on the turkey fryer! Very informational, accessible and helpful! One question: when I deep fry things in my kitchen, my house ends up smelling like grease. (I have a small starter home, so that might be the first problem;) But, how did the turkey fryer do, with it being inside your kitchen? Did it smell fine?
And, I saw your post about trying to plan for 2010. Anything in the hopper yet? For me, I look for anything that is cost-efficient, so I really like recipes that have fewer ingredients that I may already have on hand. I just got an Ina Garten cookbook that I’m loving, since she uses quality, yet fewer ingredients.
Good luck, and great job again!
Warmly,
Kristin

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.

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.!
