Instructions
Helpful Hints-
Use only oils with high smoke points, such as
peanut, canola or safflower oil.
To determine the correct amount of oil, place the
turkey in the pot before adding seasoning and add
water until turkey is covered. Take turkey out of
the water before marking the oil level. Measure
the amount of water and use a corresponding amount
of oil. Dry the pot thoroughly of all water.
Large containers of peanut oil are available at
membership warehouse stores, supermarkets,
discount department stores.
Turkey cookers with pots and propane burners can
be bought at large supermarkets, sporting goods
stores, restaurant suppliers, building-supply
stores, and hardware stores.
Injectors are available at specialty cookware
stores, department stores, and some of the outlets
mentioned above.
If you don't have a cooker and stockpot and don't
want to buy them, they can be rented at party
supply stores.
The injector is easier to fill if you remove the
needle.
The oil may be strained to remove food particles
and reused. It may also be disposed of with
regular garbage.
