They say it uses 1/3 less oil so it should be less expensive to operate. They didn't give a price on the infomercial but I found it on a website for $159.80 (I'm guessing that means it costs $39.95 a month for four months. Can anyone confirm? Has anyone else seen the ad and/or ordered this countertop appliance counter top Butterball turkey fryer that can cook a fourteen pound turkey? |

Price is less than that on Amazon.com

I see it for 117 bucks on walmart.com! |
Sounds perfect for WalMart! Gotta fry them wild turkeys shot back in the holler....... |
Wow, I am I the only one that thinks this a really bad idea???
Men have burned down carport's, garages, cars, houses, caused 3rd degree burns to self & other's...........And that was outside This one may be electric but drop that big ole turkey in a large pot of 375 oil that boils over because someone forgot to read about the bird being dry, or thawed.....911 Not in my house and not by my hubby or any of our relatives. |
No, you are not the only one........ |
It also fries everything else, and they show it being used as a lobster boiler and vegetable steamer too! |
I'm sure it can do other jobs. Just the thought of cooking a turkey indoors scares the **** out of me. Just think of the number of fries you could do at once.......or onion rings, bloomin' onion, doughnuts......omg. Nope I don't fry because I might get too good at it. |

OMG - that is my theory too! I almost caved, as Todd really wants one (the guy who eats anything, loves fried, especially with breading...and weighs maybe 180# and is 6 feet tall ). He loves any fried food and wants a deep fryer.....now he "makes do" with a large frypan |
I think having a deep fryer period is a very bad idea.... deep frying a turkey just seems insane to me. |
It also seems deep frying turkey goes along with people using cajun seasoning on turkey... Whose idea was THAT??! |

I think the fried turkey is a "Louisiana thing". I had never heard of frying a turkey until the hubby, a LA transplant, cooked one. |
Oh Stacey, if you've never eaten it, you don't know what you're missing. Girl that is some seriously delicious stuff. No kidding. I was shocked the first time I ate it as I didn't think it sounded good either. Boy was I surprised.
It is a Louisiana thing to be sure. |
I saw it reviewed on one of our local Vancouver cooking shows. They loved it and sampled not only turkey but chicken and fish. It has a breakaway cord so if a child pulls on it it will pull out the cord immediatley. As well, it appeared to empty easily and quite quickly and then they wiped it clean. |
Deep fried turkey is the best !!!! Don't knock it till you try it |
I have a electric deep fryer from masterbuit. QVC
It works great indoors. The one thing we do not like is the peanut oil. YUCK taste. I will use veg oil or something close to it. I have tried to use it twice and it left a bad taste in my mouth. The fryer is safe to use indoors or out. And not just for turkey.!!!! |
Peanut oil will take higher heats than veggie, but if you are careful, you can fry with the various veggie oils.
