I will use oil only twice. After that the Turkey can get oil penitration

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.

How do you store your oil in between uses? Do you refrigrate it?


Could you explain "refrigrate"? Is that an engineering term?


I just keep it in the garage in the corner. Never had any trouble with
it going bad. I am sure someone will have thier objection to this and
some valid reasons. But it has worked for me for about 8 years and about
14 fried Turkeys. I uasually do one at Thanksgiving and one at
Christmas. We alternate these holidays between Here in Atlanta and were
we hail from in St.louis. I keep a additional frying setup at my Moms in
St.Louis.

I don't do fried turkeys, preferring the rotisserie, but I do leave the
deep fryer, with oil, in the garage. I strain the oil about every third
use, and throw it out when it gets looking too dark, maybe once a year.
Like you, I've never had a problem, and no one's ever complained or died.


My turkey fryer is a 30qt stailess pot placed on a low profile burner. I
always clean the oil and store it after use. And never in the pot, but
in a large plastic container that it comes in (35 lbs container) I have
to wait several hours before the oil is cool enought not to melt the
plastic. Any unused oil is placed in a smaller plastic container
depending on how much was not needed.

Last year in St.louis for Thanksgiving my Mom had several people over.
So we needed two turkeys. My little brother brought over a "Green Egg"
smoker to do one, and I fried the other. Both were excellent, but very
different.

Cheers!
