Deep-frying turkeys has become more popular in recent years. Unfortunately, the delectable results deep-frying your holiday bird can produce come with some significant risks, as we reported in "A Safer Way to Fry a Turkey." Watch our video (right) for more information on deep-frying turkeys if you're planning to make this cooking method part of your Thanksgiving tradition.
Having seen the rising sales of gas-fueled turkey fryers, manufacturers are introducing electric models as well as appliances that cook turkeys without all that oil. As part of our June 2008 report on gas grills, we tested the Orion Cooker, $139, and the Char-Broil Big Easy Infrared Turkey Fryer, $129, which allow you to cook whole turkeys, chickens, and roasts.
The charcoal-fueled Orion cooks using a combination of convection and steam; you can also smoke food. The Char-Broil is powered by propane and cooks using infrared heat. Read our latest review of gas grills for more details on these cookers.

The information of this blog is very lovely and important. These information is very useful.
Good article. This article is provide good entry about oil. These entry is very reasonable.
Thank you so much for noticing and the great post about my blog.
Good idea and makes great turkeys when it works. I bought this a few months ago, used it 3 times before the bottom fell out of the stainless steel container (that you insert into the fire chamber)and this caused a small grease fire in the unit. Upon closer inspection the container is cheaply tack welded together and will come apart after a few uses. I have confirmed this flaw with another BIG EASY owner who also is having the same problem with the tack welds. Warranty is only 3 months on this product so it will last only one season if you are lucky. Char-Broil needs to look at their quality control concerning critical components with respect to this product since this could be a potential safety hazard. When notifying Char-Broil of this issue they were more concerned with me buying a replacement unit instead of reporting a potential safety hazard.
