So, did anybody burn their house down while deep frying their turkey?

Inquiring minds want to know.

1. Not here.

I fried 4 turkeys, another one on Saturday.

2. You've obviously got the technique down.

I hear that dropping the turkey into boiling oil is not a winning strategy.

3. The most common mistake is to much oil.

Then the oil over flows the pot, then the fires happens.

6. Especially with the turkey still frozen.

And you know it happened several times this year.

Bake

4. I don't deep fry my turkeys.

I put them in the oven.

7. I heard about someone on the news

although I think they were using their propane grill rather than a deep fryer, but same result

8. Not once but TWICE were their turkey fryer fires in my old apartment complex

I think those idiots that think it's safe to fry turkey in a fucking mongo size fryer inside a tiny apartment need to be sterlized in order to prevent their genes from spoiling the rest of humanity. And if they already have kids we should remove them from the home to a re-education camp that will teach their children right from wrong when it comes to turkey fryers.

9. Close but no cigar

it was a turducken, it was in the oven, and she didn't actually succeed in burning the house down. But...

10. Couldn't convince the turkey to get in the oil. We deep fried some bologna.
