The oiless 'Big Easy' turkey fryer works excellent. First coat turkey with the oil of your choice then cook ten minutes per pound. The last ten to fifteen minutes you put the top provided with cooker to brown it. You can't tell the difference as if it were cooked in expensive peanut oil.

 It does take longer than cooking in oil 10 minutes verses 3.5 minutes per pound, but it is a lot cheaper if you are only cooking one turkey.

 

Thanks, Uncle.

 

Just so happens I recently bought a "Big Easy."  Read all the reviews, figured most were paid for, and was looking for an outside opinion.  Thanks!

 

Got a 12# Butterball today.  A 2 hour bird.  Plan to inject it with Tony Chachere's Creole butter and do a rub [TC Bold Creole seasoning & Cabelas Chicken] with the oil.  Going with peanut oil since I already have it.

 

Maybe overdoing it, but it will be opening day gun season, it will hopefully be cooked enough  between morning and evening hunts, and we'll be hungry enough to eat day-old road kill.

 

In keeping on topic, should I lace it with noodles?

We, of course, continue to be impressed with your cosmopolitan personal history, which you lose no opportunity to apprise us of.

If you lace it with bacon, you might can forgo the oil. Let me know how that works

I will say one thing, if you have it ready when a bunch of hunters come from the woods, it will be eaten faster than it took to cook it.

Bacon!  Sounds like a plan.  Thanks.

 

Any suggestions as to how to secure it to a "standing" bird?  Wrap, hang?  Toothpicks?

 

Right about hungry hunters.  I usually start Scrap Stew around 4am and it's ready by midday.  I'm going to prep the turkey before I go into the woods as usual and cut my hunt time short to get it going by 10am providing we don't have to haul / track. 

 

Hopefully will break in a new .243 with new cooker with equal success.  Will advise.

I bought 2 gallons, but the hunt club ate it all before it could cool.

 

Has anyone used one of those "oil-less" turkey fryers?  Electric or propane?  Comments?

 

Oh, the chicken stew had noodles in it.

Just don't end up as one of these.

#1.  Make sure the turkey is thawed.

Bacon worked.  Just draped and stacked it over the shoulders, wings, drumsticks, and down the neck.  When the bird was done, the bacon made for a tasty, crispy bonus.

 

But just in case, I did rub a little peanut oil on it as well.

 

Took a lot longer than I anticipated.  Probably because of the wind.
