I believe this might be the third year that I used your video for deep frying I have it saved. Cheers to a third year deep frying turkeys Happy Thanksgiving!
Other videos I was like oh my God just get to the point already. This video on the other hand super entertaining didn't even realize it was 9 minutes. Thank you so much very informative it will be my first time making a turkey this year in my new unit nice to have an understanding of somebody that already has done it beforehand and the way it turned out.
Ong you are my new best friend...lol. I was cracking up watching this. Thanks for being so thorough. My husband and I are frying our turkey for the first time this year, and I bought the Masterbuilt XL (it does not say butterball on it tho), and the instructions don't even say what cook temp or give a guide as to per pound cook time. You were a big help and a little comic relief. New subscriber here... Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Great Humor, Dude. I had just ordered one at the approval of the Adult Beverage Monitor that I happily married some 38 years ago and was looking at reviews. Thanks for the video 🙂
I bought the fryer and then heard about all the problems of cooking a turkey in one. Very worried . You make it look easy. I will inject it with a beer and butter sauce and lower it in . We will see what happens. Will do it on the back porch just in case. Thank you so much for your video!!!!
I have this fryer and I find if you use a liquid injectable seasoning it gives the meat a great flavor. I use Tony Chachere's Creole Butter injector (whole bottle) and on the outside Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. May not be available where you are but its a staple here in our home. Meat comes out tender, juicy and full of flavor.
Make sure to take it out of the box and test it asap. Bought one from Walmart this year. Broken out of the box. Would not turn on. Likely the completely unneeded safety switch is defective. Spent quite a bit of time and effort trying to troubleshoot it. Everything in the area closed for Thanksgiving so no exchange possible and had to put it in the oven. Great video though. Thanks Masterbuilt.
Do you use fresh oil every time or do you keep the old oil and re use it? I just spent $30 on 3 gallons of peanut oil for our deep fried turkey. I’d hate to get rid of it with a one time use but I don’t think it will keep... thoughts?
Ill reuse the oil for wings and fries one time after doing a Turkey. let the oil cool and put it back intro he containers but you can’t let it sit around for too long or it will get rancid.
Has anyone had a problem with the fryer tripping the circuit breaker in the house? I’ve had the fryer about 5 year’s. It’s it time to replace. I use a lot.
Did it still cook at 4 minutes a pound when used outdoors? I’m afraid the electric heating element might not be able to maintain the oil at a constant cooking temp in cold weather.
I live in Kansas and it was pretty chilly here. I fry a turkey every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I keep all my fryers on the back porch outside. They turn out perfectly everytime in 45 minutes. Temperature stays even. No problemo.
Also he has the turkey in the basket incorrectly. The feet should be at the narrowing end of the basket unless your turkey is much smaller then it doesn’t really matter

Maybe if you wouldn't have had so much to drink before, you would have caught that you put the turkey in backwards. Legs go into the narrow part of the basket but funny and fun to watch. haha
😂😂😂...hilarious!! Great review! I've had mine for about 5 yrs and I've never smoked a turkey. Lots of seafood, no bird! Gonna try it this yr for Thanksgiving or Xmas...#AnythingGoesIn2020!! 👊
@@RedCowEntertainment 1/2 cup of garlic powder? Was that a typo or do you really use garlic powder and salt in equal amounts? Just want to check before mixing up a batch.
I bought this after Thanksgiving last year waiting for this Thanksgiving to use it. According to the instruction book I purchased the peanut oil and got the turkey all ready to be fried. Turned it on and the yellow power light came on but the GREEN Ready light NEVER came on! Oil never heated up to the 375 degree that was needed to cook my turkey!! And since I bought it a year ago it is not under the warrantee!!! Very Disappointed in the product.
I've fried turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas last year. I'll be doing it again for Thanksgiving this year. The last time, I've wet-brined my turkeys with a solution containing buttermilk, kosher salt, peppercorns, garlic, and brown sugar. What I'll be doing this time is massaging compound butter between the skin and breast while also injecting cajun butter solution directly into the meat. My bird will truly be a Butterball. And, believe it or not, I will be letting my 15 pound turkey rest for a good 3 or 4 hours before carving and serving. The rule of thumb is to let the bird rest for about as long as it takes to roast it. Of course, frying cooks the bird in a fraction of the time, but it still needs that extra time to rest so the juices will settle down and properly reconstitute with the meat. It will still be sufficiently hot when carving time comes, though you can also heat it up with piping hot gravy. But the point is that the bird won't dry out shortly after I cut into it. Sufficient resting time really makes a huge difference in juiciness and flavor, even with leftovers. After letting the turkey rest for that long myself, I'm a believer.
@@cheby56 Better than dry turkey. But there are ways to heat it back up to desired serving temperature that will let the meat retain its juiciness if it gets too cool.
With a smaller cut of meat like a steak or pork tenderloin I always set my timer for 10 minutes before carving, with a 15 lb bird it will obviously take longer.
This this is MY kind of sense of humor! Loved the video. One question, though. If you put the seasoning on the night before, doesn't it wash off the next day if you give it a warm water bath to warm the turkey after removing it from the fridge (as suggested in the Masterbuilt videos)? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
The warm water bath, I believe, is if you are thawing out a frozen turkey. The warm water bath ensures there's no ice crystals which could explode in the hot oil. I was using a fresh turkey so I skipped that step. In theory, yes, you would have to season a bathed turkey with additional seasoning.
I put my turkey in breast side up and legs towards the smaller tapered end, I cook in mine all year long, not just for turkey, makes the best fried chicken ever, and you can cook a ton of pieces at one time. Yes, peanut oil is best, hottest burning point of any oil, but if on a budget, buy regular cooking oil and save a ton of money, but peanut oil will not ruin at high heat and you can use it over and over.
The company definitely doesn't recommend extension cords and it's not as safe if you use one. However, if you use a properly rated one that's of a proper length, you can at your own risk.
im not ruling out more camera reviews if the inspiration strikes me, but it's so expensive to keep up even with renting. Thanks for sticking with me anyways!
@@ronwilhelm2467 Nothing, i've used one the last 2 years with no issues. If you want to be smart and cook this out in your yard away from the house, you need an extension cord
It will burn. There's a reason the cord is short. Adding length produces resistance (Ohm's) which exceed the UL guidelines and could decrease necessary power. A household cord will burn up quickly. An industrial level is still risky. There are warnings all over the Damn thing to NOT use an extension cord. But do as you're intelligence dictates.
I believe this might be the third year that I used your video for deep frying I have it saved.

Do you inject it before or after day before frying and seasoning
Let's put 3 gallons of lava hot oil and the most rickety table known to man...
The widest area of the basket is for the head of the bird. The narrow end of the basket is for the legs
We bought the same unit, loved it the first year, the second-year the heating element went out and we were screwed
been using mine year round, not just Thanksgiving, and never a problem, you got a bad element, contact MB
There's a trip reset button on the back side of the controller, make sure its pushed in.
Wow Dr. Butterball, you've fried it again!

How good is the filter when you drain the fryer for reusing the oil multiple times?
Best reviewer ever
This video brightened up my life :D . Thank you!!
Did it still cook at 4 minutes a pound when used outdoors? I’m afraid the electric heating element might not be able to maintain the oil at a constant cooking temp in cold weather.
It struggles, big time. Even indoors, when you put a turkey in the oil, it takes forever to recover and get back up to temp vs a propane turkey fryer.
I live in Kansas and it was pretty chilly here. I fry a turkey every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I keep all my fryers on the back porch outside. They turn out perfectly everytime in 45 minutes. Temperature stays even. No problemo.
My ready light won't stay on
what if you smoked and then fried the turkey?
Tom Owen I was actually thinking about that for a future experiment. Smoking at a low temp and then frying
@@RedCowEntertainment EJ I need you to understand that I will lose my mind if this works.
Very helpful and very entertaining .Thank You
How did you know how much oil to add so that the turkey is completely submerged without it over flowing?
There is a max fill line inside the pot. The turkey cannot be over 20 lbs.
Also he has the turkey in the basket incorrectly. The feet should be at the narrowing end of the basket unless your turkey is much smaller then it doesn’t really matter
