Thanksgiving is an exciting time to gather with friends and family. This year, celebrations may look a little different. More people may be planning outdoor gatherings featuring fried turkey!
There are many important considerations to make regarding safety when frying a turkey. First, be sure the turkey is properly thawed before placing it in the fryer. Never place a frozen turkey in hot oil. Be sure that the area where you are cooking is far from any structures such as a deck or house. Have a fire extinguisher ready, just in case. Remember, never try to put out a grease fire with water.
If you are cooking inside this holiday, be sure to turn all pot handles toward the back of the stove to help prevent accidents.
