King Kooker 60-Quart Aluminum Boiling Pot Review

King Kooker 60-Quart Aluminum Boiling Pot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A 60-quart pot is the perfect size for steaming a full, packed bushel of blue crabs on an outdoor propane burner. The KK-60 is a heavy-duty aluminum version that is well-made, has a nice-fitting lid, and heavy-duty riveted handles. The included boiling basket is also ideal for large seafood boils and frying very large turkeys. At last inquiry, King Kooker does not make a steamer plate for this pot, so for steaming crabs, you'll need to raise the included basket a few inches with either stainless steel carriage bolts or some other kind of spacer (there's plenty of room under the lid).
Aluminum pots used for steaming crabs will pit eventually due to the salt, so to prolong its life, you'll want to wash it immediately after each use. In the long run, a stainless version like the Bayou Classic 1060, 60-Qt. Stainless Fryer/Steamer with Vented Lid is the way to go, and I've seen the Bayou Classic sold with and without a basket. This King Kooker does do a fine job at a reasonable price; and it's of course lighter in weight.
I have seen two versions of the KK-60 sold locally that were both 60 quarts but were slightly different dimensions. The photo shown above is actually a much smaller (15qt?) pot.

This item is not solid cast iron . whatever metal they used to cover it looks like it but easily scrathes off revealing the aluminum. Not safe at all since you will injest metal pieces with your food.
It even warns you that it does not need to be treated like cast Iron and that it is aluminum on a piece of paper they stick inside the pot.
Mine arrived heavily scratched and appeared used.
The french fry machine that came with it will shoot your potatoes across the kitchen.
The onion mum spice mix contains MSGIt is too heavy to ship back, it got chucked in the trash the first day I got it as it cannot even be used for a flower pot.
I would not feed a pet water from this thing.

This product works well enough, but you need to check its calibration. Since water boils at 212 degrees F (except at higher elevations) you can determine the thermometer's accuracy by placing it in water that's just beginning to boil. Mine reads about 195 in boiling water, therefore I know to add approximately 15 degrees to get an accurate reading of what I'm cooking. I also use it to monitor the temperature on my grill.

I bought this turkey fryer from sam's club for 67.00 on oct.7, 2010. I cooked my first turkey in it that same night and it was great. The pot was a sturdy aluminum, not like the flimsy pots of some other brands. I'm going to get a bunch of crawfish this weekend and use the basket to boil them.
I would definitely recommend it to others.

Char-Broil The Big Easy Oil-Less Infrared Turkey Fryer Review

Char-Broil The Big Easy Oil-Less Infrared Turkey Fryer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have never owned or used a turkey frier. I am very safety minded and the thought of all that peanut oil at a high temperature and the open flame, well I just cant bring myself to buy one. I did, however purchase the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Infrared Turkey Fryer. So far in three weeks I have cooked three turkeys. Since I have never used a real deep fat turkey frier, the operational part of my review of the product is a bit one-sided. I can say that of all the appliances that have more than 2 moving parts, the ease of operation of the Big Easy is just that. Big and easy. The three turkeys I have cooked in the cooker were just under 12 pounds. The first was rubbed with olive oil, it was delicous and moist but a bit dark on the outside. The subsequent 2 were rubbed with peanut oil and had a better complection, but were just as moist and flavourful. I did experience a bit of overcooking of the drumsticks and wings. I believe that this could be cured by sheilding them with some aluminium foil (that will be my next experiment). I have yet to cook anything but turkeys, when I do though, I will make an addendum to this review. All in all, I am pleased with the product and highly praise its ease of use and safety in producing a nice fried turkey. My son is a proffesional Chef and agrees that my terminology is correct, oil has been used and as he states, "technically Dad, it is fried, but not deep fat fried" Thats ok by me.

The Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less infared turkey fryer represents the next step forward in utilizing infared style cooking. This patented technology takes the mess and hassle out of cooking a perfect turkey (up to 16 lbs.) or other large cut of meat (chickens, pork tenderloings, or beef roasts). With no hot cooking oil to purchase, splatter, or dispose of, the Char-Broil Big Easy is the delcious, safe and easy alternative to oil-fried turkey. Cooking is done inside a double-wall cylindrical cooking chamber, powered by a fullly enclosed propane burner. Char Broil's patented Heat Wave infard technology delivers juicy, crisp, flavorful results every time. Your favorite marinades can be injected and even dry rubs and sauces can be used for added flavor.

Safe

Thanksgiving just got a whole lot easier and healthier for those who love the juicy taste of fried turkey but hate the safety, cost and hassle issues related to cooking with oil. Because it’s oil-less, The Big Easy eliminates the dangers long associated with the incorrect and unsupervised use of deep fryers. Cooking occurs inside The Big Easy’s cylindrical, double-walled heating chamber, powered by a fully enclosed propane burner. The turkey or other meat is placed inside a drop-in basket that is lowered into the chamber and cooked with evenly distributed Infrared radiant heat.

We love the juicy and distinctive taste of fried turkey, but many of us have become increasingly wary of the fire dangers associated with deep fryers - and for good reason. In fact, firefighters and consumer product safety experts warn that unattended or improperly used turkey fryers can cause devastating house or deck fires. Cooking oil is combustible; therefore, if it is heated beyond its cooking temperature, then its vapors can ignite. In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission noted "the majority of reported incidents occurred while the oil was being heated, prior to adding the turkey."The Big Easy offers the perfect safe and healthy solution-great fried turkey taste without the oil.

Easy

Those who have fried a turkey using a traditional deep-fryer can testify that it is a labor-intensive process. Finding a safe location, buying oil, pre-heating the oil, cleaning up the mess and properly disposing of the used oil is inconvenient and time consuming.

Beyond being a "labor of love" for your family and friends, cooking with a traditional turkey fryer is also expensive proposition. That juicy, mouthwatering, crispy skinned result can put a significant dent in your wallet especially when it comes to buying the oil. Frying with peanut oil usually costs between $35-$40 per use. In addition to the cost, there is the problem of what to do with 3 to 4 gallons of peanut oil when the feast is over. Then the fun begins. Simply getting 3.5 to 4 gallons of used oil from a 26 to 30 quart pot back into a container or several containers is not a simple task. Then figuring out how and where to properly recycle the oil in your community is often a challenge.

The Char-Broil Big Easy eliminates all oil-related issues by simply eliminating the oil, allowing the backyard chef to spend less money and more time savoring the best turkey they have ever tasted. No more oil to buy and pre-heat. No more trying to figure out a safe, easy and environmentally friendly way to dispose of 3 to 4 gallons of used oil. Enjoy the convenience and savor the taste!

Specifications:

• 18,000 BTU burner • Requires propane tank • Outdoor use only • Packaged weight: 35 lbs. • Product weight: 30 lbs. • Assembled size: 21.1"L x 21.1"W x 24.5"H • Carton Size: 17.52" L x 17.52" W x 20.9" H

Masterbuilt MB10 Outdoor LP Gas Turkey Fryer Review

Masterbuilt MB10 Outdoor LP Gas Turkey Fryer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I needed a fish fryer. This looked like a fish fryer, but was labeled a Turkey Fryer. I bought it anyway. This is definitely a small item fryer or a fish fryer. NOT a turkey fryer. It even says right on the box: NOT FOR TURKEYS. So, how is it as a fryer? It does the trick. Nothing special. The instructions are very confusing and difficult to follow. They are for two different fryers. The metal ring at the bottom that came with my fryer must be for the other model. The holes to screw it in would not align. Since I needed this item for a party, I used it anyway and just put the ring inside for support of the legs. If I had bought this locally, I would have returned it for those reasons.

King Kooker turkey fryers are crap. The one I had fell apart after only one year.
I would highly recommend Bayou Classic brand for the following reasons: 1. The pot comes with a basket as well as a turkey rack. 2. It comes already assembled, except for the regulator. 3. It's much more sturdy and the welds that hold it together appear to be more durable.
As for the timer that goes off after 15 minutes, you're not supposed to leave a turkey fryer unattended anyway. But I'm giving it a low review because it's very cheaply made and the burner snapped right off.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own the Adcraft single tank fryer. Below is a list of the serious cons and the one pro I have found with this fryer.
*CON-The product description for the single tank Adcraft fryer states the "Temp Control switch from 120-375." FACT-The Temp Control switch only goes up to 370.
*CON-The product description states this fryer will get up to 375 degrees.
FACT-Using a temperature gauge,I found this fryer only gets up to 350 degrees.
CON-The fry basket comes with a detachable handle.Not a safe thing when working around hot oil.
I had the handle of my fry basket welded on at a local welding shop.
PRO-The ONLY pro I found with this fryer is that it comes apart easily for cleaning.
*NOTE:Since I wrote the my original review in 2010, which then the product description stated "Temp Control switch from 120-375." It appears now that the product description has been rewritten to say "Thermostatically controlled to 375° F (190° C)" instead.
UPDATE-1/12/2011- Other owners of this fryer I've talked to report their fryer also only get's up to 350 degrees.Foods like chicken,french fries and onion rings do fine being fried at 350 degrees.But when frying beef items, beef is best when fried at 375 degrees.Beef is gummy when fried at 350 degrees.I always (and I recommend) use a tempature gauge with this fryer to always know the exact tempature of the oil.I brought my fryer for home use,with that said,since this is a commerical fryer, it's sturdier and bigger than fryers strickly for home use while still only needing a regular residential wall outlet.The bigger size means I can fry descent size portions for up to 3 to 4 people at one time.

I retired my turkey fryer after the last tailgate season. It was costing me almost $25 in peanut oil every time I used it to fry our regular tailgate food (pizza rolls, wings, tenders, fries, etc.). I only used it for turkeys once a year on special occasions.
Anyway I got this as a replacement. It's definitely cut down on my oil costs a lot and I'm still able to get plenty of food cooked in here. My only real problem so far has been that it's tough to reduce the heat w/o losing the flame completely since I can't see the flame through the guard. So I keep it on and the oil gets a little too hot if I don't pay close attention. I don't mind too much though since the guard seems to be letting me light the flame a little easier on the coast of Lake Erie than I could with my previous fryer.

BUTTERBALL Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer Review

Average Reviews:

I got mine at Bass Pro Shops and was excited. Fried one turkey successfully and brought it to my job for their dinner. But when I came back an hour later after I let the unit cool down, I attempted to cook my family's turkey and it didn't work. It took 2 hours to get it working pressing the reset button on the back of the heating unit at least 100 times!. When I finally did get it working, I went back to check on it 20 minutes later and it turned off. I had to give the heating unit a pretty firm tap and then it turned on! Completely inconsistent!
Cleaning the unit was a breeze, even the heating unit which collected most of the grease residue and can't be submerged in water. Everything else I placed in the dishwasher.
The oil drained well and very clean for use again.
It really is a great idea but they need to solve the issue with the heating unit not working. It shouldn't be so sensitive to movement which is what I gathered was the problem.
And worse? Their customer support number was closed on Thanksgiving. Don't brand this Butterball, if you're not going to be available on Turkey day.

Bayou Classic 1118 32-Quart Stainless Steel Turkey Fryer Review

Bayou Classic 1118 32-Quart Stainless Steel Turkey Fryer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the Stainless Steel fry pot because SS is a better conductor, stronger metal compared to Aluminum, and cleans better. But, there's a heckuva price premium. I found the pot to be very sturdy and great quality, but three things bothered me somewhat:
1) The thermometer clip that comes with that pot is poorly designed. Once the thermometer is inserted on the lip of the pot, it direct the thermometer at an angle towards the center of the pot. Sure, the temperature reading is more accurate at the center, but this makes it difficult to remove the bird without first pushing the thermometer tip to the side of the pot. You'd rather not try to remove the thermometer as the pot is hot and you could splash the oil.
2) At this price, I would expect some fry baskets, but none were included. Without these, you have to try to fish out small items that you are frying such as fries, mozzarella sticks, etc. It can get hazardous. Prefer not to use the steam basket as a fry basket.
3) I coupled this pot with the BC Single Burner Outdoor Patio Stove, but even with this high BTU burner, it took a little more than 1/3 of my propane tank to heat peanut oil (2/3 full) up to 300F with an outdoor temp of 55F. Thus, with a full propane tank, you might be able to fry one turkey during the fall without changing tanks.
Overall, this pot is better quality than the Aluminum pot, but not really worth the high price, especially since it's not part of a combo pot/burner.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have been "Deep Frying" turkeys in oil for nearly two decades and I must say that the "Big Easy" is an AWESOME piece of equipment!
We received a call from a friend in Cajun country and he told us that we should buy the Big Easy. We bought it from Amazon back in Feb 2008. We did not use the fryer until yesterday, for Thanksgiving. We were shocked! It was easy to use and there is hardly anything to clean up . If you follow the directions, you will not go wrong. Before we used the fryer, I went to the Charbroil site and read the tips and updated information concerning the fryer.
You only have to do this the first time you use the fryer:
1. After you put the fryer together, DO NOT put anything in the fryer other than the basket and turn on the fryer for 15 minutes.
2. After the fryer has cooled, spray Pam in the fryer, place the basket in the fryer and turn on the fryer for 10 mins.
3. After the fryer has cooled, put some olive or peanut oil on a paper towel and rub the oil on the basket. Place your season turkey in the basket and turn on the fryer. Make sure the turkey legs are pointing down or resting in the bottom of the basket and keep the metal brace that keeps the turkey legs together intact.
** Each time the fryer is used, repeat step three (Oiling the basket).** Tip:
If you cover the turkey with olive oil, the turkey will darken so if you like the blacken turkey or dark turkey, coat the turkey with oil. Do not put oil on the wing tips because the tip will burn quicker. If you use olive oil, do not place the cover on the fryer and in fact you really don't need to put the lid on at all. I did not put oil on the back of the turkey just to compare the color of the turkey. You don't need to put oil on the turkey because the turkey will have a pretty brown color without the oil.
Pull the skin back from the breast, place the season under the skin (Dried & Fresh), garlic, onion, etc use your imagination. Pull the skin back in place and season the inside of the turkey. While the turkey is in the basket, I placed half a lemon in the top of the turkey along with fresh rosemary, mint etc.
The garlic did not get mushy as it retained its shape but it was easy to smash. I smashed it with two fingers, placed it on top of the turkey and ate it. It was heavenly! The lemon came out juicy so I squeezed the lemon on the turkey. It was good! The lemon nor the spices did not over power the turkey as it gave a good flavor. The next time I think I will juice the lemon, puree the seasons and rub the turkey inside and out as well as place more whole garlic cloves in the turkey. The season does not burn.
On Thanksgiving, we fried two turkeys, one with oil and one with the Big Easy. The skin was crisp as you cannot tell the difference between the oil fried turkey and the Big Easy turkey. In fact, the white meat held more moisture than the deep fried turkey. We compared the two and the Big Easy won hands down. The Big Easy is healthier than the oil fried turkey. The juice pan collected the drippings, we chilled the drippings, removed the fat so it can be frozen in cubes for a later day. The turkey did not stick to the basket. When you purchase the Big Easy, the savings from not having to buy peanut oil is something that you do not have to buy.
Charbroil has accessories for the Big Easy at their website. I recommend the Big Easy and FOLLOW the direction!
