How I clean the Big Easy oil-less Turkey fryer

I used one of two Big Easy oil-less Fryers for more than 5 years now and i haven't taken care of them as well as i should join me in a quick tutorial of how to clean them

[@adams98gtp]

Good vid man. Love the thoughtfulness regarding your dog as well. Alot of people need that reminder when using chemicals in dog zone. Liked and subscribed. Doing my big ez today.

[@roselsimpson858]

Awesome hope it comes out looking brand new. As for Fitz he is my best friend it our job to keep our fir babies safe just like we would our baby babies! Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great content 👍

[@timothyhowes3082]

Great idea on how to clean the Big Easy. I use mine all the time like you do and I love it, it’s so versatile and does a great job. I started putting foil at the bottom to help keep the cleaning down to a minimum. Thank you for posting the video, it’s a smart cleaning method for the Big Easy.

[@roselsimpson858]

My pleasure, I ideas may not always be the best but I love sharing anyway lol. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more great content.

Don’t forget to re-season the cooking chamber

[@roselsimpson858]

Got it!

[@timdockins5183]

how in the hell do you clean that and keep yourself clean?

[@roselsimpson858]

It ain't easy but it can be done, it's about position, if your are spaying it with the water hose turn it away from you and spray it from the back or over the top.

[@mr.greenbrier7137]

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing! Btw, I cut an oven mat to fit down on the bottom, then cut a hole in the center for the drippings to fall through. Makes for easy cleaning!

[@roselsimpson858]

Great idea Thanks for sharing I think it's time for me to purchase a new insert so I will definitely be using the mat next time Thanks again

[@AnthonyHarris-fe6zo]

Just bought a Big Easy for Thanksgiving...thanks for the cleaning tip!

[@roselsimpson858]

Awesome glad i could help

[@catherinepattinson4756]

Is it possible to get a new insert.. How and how much? My ex was the Big Easy operator -- Its been sitting there 3 years and I finally figured out how to use it but he left it in a nasty state. Ill try to clean it your way but if its not sufficient how do i get a new insert?

[@roselsimpson858]

Catherine let me do a little research at the moment I think you can replace it. I will give you an answer in my questions from the hogpin segment next week. Thanks for the great question!

[@MrShanghai34]

It is December 9th and I ordered my Big Easy on Nov 25. BackOrdered.... but tomorrow, it's arriving right on time. I'm off this weekend and I have a full propane tank. I already got all of the accessories waiting. Going to do a chicken or ribs.

[@roselsimpson858]

A full propane tank and what appears to be a great attitude. Your chicken or ribs or both are going to come out amazing. If you choose ribs keep a close eye on them they tend to cook rather fast in my opinion. I use hooks to hang them from the side of the basket. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more great content!

[@annstewart189]

The first time I I used my Big Easy no oil fryer,I spent over an hour trying to clean it. It did not come completely clean. I can see where Easy Off may help.

[@roselsimpson858]

Yes the Easy Off does help, just remember to rinse repeatedly, the best way to keep it clean is to clean after each use while still warm or do what I sometimes do skip the cleaning and use the residue for flavor on your next use lol

[@snapnpiksallthetime7672]

awesome ty rosel dollar tree has some nice big round pans for the bottom, enjoy your next cook

[@roselsimpson858]

You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by. There is more good Big Easy, Hot Logic, Culvert cooking content on the way stay tuned!

[@grandmaraps]

Next time use the heavy duty easy off. I use it on the basket and the grill all the time. I don't spray the insert because it's already seasoned. I scrape if while it's still hot. But I burn it on high for a couple hours and just scrape the bottom at the end of Fall, like your self cleaning oven.

[@roselsimpson858]

Thank you thats great advice.

[@JohnHeath1612]

wow - thanks for sharing this, my Big Easy is in the same state and I was looking at replacing it as the parts can't be sourced in the UK - but as I didn't fancy paying £300 for a new one this video has been really helpful! Just need to find some easy-off now!

[@roselsimpson858]

Glad you found the video before you replaced it. It may look ugly but if it ain't broke don't fix it. You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more great content

[@TheJRodriguez99]

Now I need to know how you make ribs and pork chops in the Big Easy? Free like I'm not getting the full potential now

[@roselsimpson858]

The Big Easy can handle ribs and pork chops no problem check my Big Easy play list I think I may have a Video or two covering one or both. I've use the Big easy to cook everything from Breakfast to dessert. Give it a try. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great content.

[@KajunChef225]

What else can you cook in this thing other than turkey or whole chickens. I’ve had mine for several years now and only use it for Thanksgiving

[@roselsimpson858]

Checkout some of the video in my everything you ever wanted to know about the big easy playlist. I use my big easy at least 3 times per week. Burgers, seafood, potatoes the list us endless. Good question and thanks for watching

[@kimberlyd6323]

Thanks for this video Rosel. I’ve been using the big easy 3 in 1 for years and have the turkey fryer which I never used. Maybe because I hadn’t found a good way to clean the 3-1. I thought about oven cleaner but wasn’t sure how it would work. Gonna give it a go this week!

[@roselsimpson858]

Awesome, it works just make sure to rinse thoroughly after you finish. Let me know how it turns out

[@Simon-ih7rb]

i rub mine down with vegetable oil prior to cooking, so far i haven't had anything stick

[@roselsimpson858]

Yep I often use oil like avocado because of the high flash point. Yes it does help prevent sticking... awesome!

[@edgar4531]

I've never had mine looking like that. I've used it maybe 6 Tim's to be fair but if it starts to look like that I will chunk it and buy a new one

[@roselsimpson858]

I use mine 3 to 4 times per week. I would be buying a new one every month lol. The meat only touches the basket and I feel more than comfortable with it. Thanks for commenting and Thanks for watching

Super video dude , love from Northern Ireland ! Is it safe enough to use the hose inside the main body of the bbq where the gas ring is ?

[@roselsimpson858]

Watching from Ireland nice. I Have used mine inside on several occasions I agree the gas ring is safely in closed but i will let you decide that one lol. Thanks so much for watching stay tuned!

[@peterharfmann9522]

That’s the way I do it, too. And you are quite right with the dog loving the dirt coming off the smoker. I am wondering, is it worth while trying to burn off the grease by heating the empty smoker to a maximum? Thank you for your good video from Bremen, Germany

[@roselsimpson858]

I thought about the heat thing as well. I think it might have helped if i would have heated everything up for a few seconds. I'll see next time.

[@lennyk70]

No, it doesnt get to high enough temps to turn crud to ash

[@cussininthekitchen8224]

I know this is a 4 year old comment, but for others interested, easy off can be used on a warm oven and it works a little better/little faster. You can’t burn off the black in these though it has to get over 500 degrees for that reaction to occur. I’m going to watch another video this creator made using dawn power wash bc I bet it works good. The power wash doesn’t *say* it has ammonia, but somehow I know they have harnessed the power of ammonia bc it takes the grease and brown and black off my other appliances so quickly. I love easy off too but the fumes get me.

[@pjcd7016]

Did you ever trussing a pressure washer on it?

[@roselsimpson858]

No I haven't tried a pressure wash yet, I think it would work on a newer one but mine are too far gone lol. Time to buy a new insert if I can find one.

[@pjcd7016]

@@roselsimpson858 LOL, been there, hopefully you'll be able to get an insert.

I’ve had great success with bar keepers helper powered, and Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray combo (presoak with both for 15-20min)… and I used a power drill with a brush attachment for scrubbing (lazy way) lol 😂 but came out almost brand new… I would recommend eye goggles

Did you or anyone on here try loosely wrapping some mesquite or hickory chips in foil and setting them in the bottom of the basket before you start cooking to add a smoky flavor

[@roselsimpson858]

I think I tried it early on but if I remember correctly it didn't work well. Now that you have mentioned it I have to try it again lol. They have one called the Char-Broil Big Easy TRU-Infrared Smoker Roaster & Grill it's about $190.00. I wonder if I can get them to send me one. Let me work on that stay tuned

This video is older now but I'm rocking my grandmother's old 3 in 1 smoker, grill and roaster and this is a huge help. I know a lot about grilling but little about smoking or roasting. Figured this was a great place to start. Never owned charcoal. Working my way out there lol

Glad you found the video helpful. I am from the stone ages started off an old charcoal guy but the Big Easy helped me move to a slightly different way of cooking. I love the Big Easy checkout my Big Easy playlist lots of good content. Thanks for watching stay tuned!
