For $25-30, $20 if mismarked, you get a battery powered transfer pump
with filters. Bought one a couple of days ago. Will give a report after
T day.

I will use oil only twice. After that the Turkey can get oil
penitration and not be as good.

Here is the one that can be ordered from The Bass Pro Shop.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I sincerly hope things work out for
the better. It sounds to me like you are taking a good stance.

Why not just use a large funnel purchased from wallyworld for a buck
with a coffee filter inside?


That is basically what this is, But the filter is a little less fine
as
is a coffee filter. These funnels come with a metal spreader that
keeps
the filter from folding over as the oil is passed threw. For a few
bucks
it is worth it.

Personally, I wouldn't waste the money. A funnel is a funnel. If you
'filter' the oil once, you may never do it again as you'll be waiting
forever for it to be strained the first time.

One thing to keep in mind is that even if you do have food particles in
your oil, they've been at a high enough temp that there won't be any
living germs in there. :^)
I've got a bunch of old funnels in the garage.

Might have a little left over motor oil though. :)





Why are you cooking a healthy food in oil?

Turkey should be baked, not fryed in oil. Blech.


I agree. You cannot fry a bird that is stuffed, thus missing out on much of
the seasoning.

My brother in law deep fries his birds and they are not as tasty and juicy
as the birds I bake with stuffing.

I made our stuffing this morning (sausage, mushrooms, onions, butter,
seasoning and croutons), let it cool down and stuffed the bird 15 minutes
ago. The stuffed 23 pound turkey is now keeping cool in our garage fridge
waiting to be baked tomorrow. ;-)
