Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!
Innef one plans to deep fry Thy Bird on bird-day, here are some important safety tips to remember.
1. THOROUGHLY dry said bird, inside and out. You do not want even a drop of water remaining. Use an entire roll of papertowels or equivalent. And then use another one. Do not ask how I know this is important. Spit. Pop. Crackle.
2. Wear GLOVES, cheap welding gloves from Harbor Freight or similar work great. They will smell funky and so will you, do not bring them into the house. Wear oldish clothes. Wear safety glasses (or preferably goggles or even a face shield).
3. Keep small children and animals at a safe distance. Do not even think of doing this inside your home or garage.
4. Consume alcohol only in reasonable quantities whilst frying.
5. Strain/filter the oil using mesh paint filters (the kind for 5gal paint buckets).
6. Make ABSOLUTELY SURE that none of your guests have peanut allergies. Peanut oil is the preferred frying goop.
7. Make certain that your propane tank is full, lest you run out and need to borrow a neighbors, mid fry.
8. Season the bird with a good dry rub. I use Bad Byrons Butt Rub. :snicker: Some folks inject seasoning, this tends to make the hot oil spit even more.
9. Place cooked bird in a large disposable foil pan lined with paper towels. Cover with foil and let stand for 20-30 mins. Transfer to another pan.
10. Carve as usual and enjoy.
