You can get a meat thermometer with a wireless remote readout. When we
do prime rib, or turkey, I put the remote right next to my beer, and
it gets looked at often, of course.

Just how much oil does it take? How many dollars worth? And how long
does it keep? How much for a freezer to hold the oil at 0 F. between
uses. I think you could easily end up buying new oil for every turkey.
I have a radio remote oven thermometer that sits by the keyboard, or
the beer, as the case may be. If I want grease, I will go to the
restaurant down the street and have onion rings. We bought a set up,
tank, burner, and kettle, and it has the cooking instructions for
frying a turkey stamped into it. Of course, we bought it for mashed
potatoes and lobstercide. Anyone dumb enough to oil a turkey needs the
instructions right on the gear.

Well, as I said, I don't understand boiling a turkey in oil.

Be thankful for that. It's pretty dangerous.

There are many things you don't understand, WAFA. I would let this one
go and focus on more important things - like why, at your age, don't own
a house.

Peanut oil keeps very well at room temps. And the turkey is not greasy.
But costs about $30 for enough oil and you can do 5 turkeys they say. Is
not cheap hobby. But since I own a boat, actually a boat, canoe, kayaks,
and float tube, hard to say I am cheap. Broke maybe, but not cheap.

In past years, I have steamed up the shellfish on our kitchen gas range,

instead of being in the kitchen.

Any recommendations? I'll be using a 60-quart steamer a neighbor has.

Thanks.

Hey, thanks...but I just ordered a simpler unit from Bayou something or

Could have picked it up on Walmart during the weekly trip for office
equipment.

You could have...I wouldn't have. I don't shop at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is
where you buy your wine, right?
