I was half thinking of trying to cook a deep fried turkey this year,
just for something different.
Until I came upon this, that is ....

Sort of confirms that Allstate commercial talking about a dozen or so
houses burning down on holidays due to deep frying turkeys.
I agree with Harry and oven roast ours. Nothing finer than the smell
of turkey cooking in the oven all day.
Household cooking takes up very little electricity. While no device is
foolproof, a modern electric oven on "bake" is pretty close to it. The
question for me remains, though...why would anyone want to take a
relatively healthy food item, such as turkey, and cook in a way that
adds what it doesn't have a lot of naturally, fat and cholesterol.
If done correctly and at the correct temp. you'll hardly notice an
increase in fat and cholesterol. Turkey has a fair percentage of fat
as is, the fat goes to the bottom of the pan, and you baste with it,
what's the difference?
We had a "smoked" turkey one year. It tasted more like ham than turkey,
if memory serves. I like roast turkey, and I expect it to taste like
roast turkey, not oil-soaked turkey or ham turkey.- Hide quoted text -

If it tasted like ham, you did a horrible job smoking it.
A. I don't "baste" with pan drippings.


B. I didn't smoke the ham.

How do you get the natural occuring fat out of the turkey, Mr. Health?
And why are you overweight?
Why is it that if *you* decide you don't like something, then it's
instantly a terrible thing, no one should do it, it's awful, it's
stupid, and on and on? Let's take boats for instance. You've stated
here many times in many threads over the years that went on for ever
about some mightly large cruising boats that you've claimed to own.
Now you state that you don't care anything about boating, just getting
to where the fish are, correct? Which is it?


I don't give a tinker's dam if you or anyone else here eats unhealthy.
If you want to sit around with a can of flavored Crisco and a spoon, go
for it.


Why so defensive, Harry?
I really want to know how you make your turkey healthy. How do you get
the fat out of it?

I've never owned any "cruising" boats, per se, if by that you mean a
large, live-aboard, low powered boat used for extensive travel. I've
owned a few sailboats, including two that could be used for "real
cruising," but I never used them for that. Day cruising or perhaps a
short overnight, maybe, but not much longer than that.


What about your lobster boat? Was that just to get to the fishing
hole?

Your statement about my feelings regarding boating are absurd. In the
Chesapeake Bay, just getting to where the fish are involves some
informal "cruising," albeit at a higher than typical cruising speed, and
we do engage in boating activities that do not involve fishing.- Hide quoted text -

Are you saying that you didn't say here in rec.boats that you only
boat to get to the fish?
Was the Hatt and lobster boat for that purpose?
