How do you brine the turkey?

[@shanewells5267]

every year this same video lol no matter how many times I fry a bird I always use this as a refresher

[@danellclark5470]

Lol find a better video this guy doesn't know anything about frying a turkey

[@broncodan35]

This is the first video I've seen that tells you to turn off the burner when you drop your turkey. Thank you so much. Ive been frying turkeys for 7 years and I have always done this and tell everyone I can to do just that. I also remove my pot so just in case oil does boil over it doesn't get on the burner. Can I suggest doing your oil measure as your very first step. Before you brine, do your measure. Then use that water to do your brining. I find it just saves time and water. That way you only need to dry your turkey once. Some people brine in the pot, but I like to brine in a food grade bucket so the salt doesn't damage the pot. Salt is bad on aluminum pots, stainless steel is a different story. I do like how fast aluminum pots cool down compared to stainless steel. Having used both, that's my preference. I prefer Cottonseed oil myself. It has a higher smoke point and is a lighter oil, and flavorless. It also heats up and cools down faster. But it's also becoming increasingly harder to find and more expensive. I buy it when I find it, it's worth it for me and my preferences I think. Very good video. Thank you.

[@georgevasquez4004]

Thanks for the advice my friend

[@TheWutangclan1995]

I watched this video to Fry my Turkey for Thanksgiving for the first time 5yrs ago!! Very easy to follow step by step!! I still re-watch it every Thanksgiving as a refresher (Safety 1st).... The Turkey comes out nice a golden brown!! The family loves my deep fried turkey every year!!!

[@busterbrown1686]

Use the level markings on the pot to under inch. Add oil as needed after setting bird in cooking oil. I take the bird out of the fridge and sit on the counter 3 hours before cooking to dry and warm to room temp. Get oil to at least 375 because temp will drop to 275, turn burner way up and gradually turn back until it stays around 325. Next day pour the oil through a strainer back into the container and put it in a deep freezer until next year or whenever and mark how many times oil was used. No more than 5 birds. Never cook turkey and fish using the same oil.

[@crunkin1t590]

This is the way

[@brittanyvela954]

[@Buzzy1960]

Thank you Mr. Karl Engel six years and thirty days after you made this video...I`m now ready to fry a turkey during Christmas week. Remember people this video is six years old so he probably did the water test of how much oil he will need before he injected the butter but did not correctly edit the video to show that.

[@BlazePiffington]

Due to the butter streaks in the pot of water, it stands to reason that he injected the butter into the turkey before doing the water test. I suppose the only editing needed would be to edit and have the turkey measure the water before drying off and injecting it

[@ajohnson153]

I like the Alton Brown method of measuring how much oil to use. Basically you fill your water one gallon at a time and keep track of the actual volume of liquid it takes to cover the bird.

[@Missionbelt]

Good thinking AJ. Don't want to burn down the garage. Did you also build his "Turkey Frying" scaffolding contraption?

[@d.hansel854]

Great Video... Thanks... Several years ago I purchased an electric turkey fryer from Wal-Mart. It was one of the Butter Ball Fryers that they sell. I got it for about $ 60.00. The turkeys I fried were about 12lbs. I used the mix of Canola Oil and Peanut oil from Sam's Club. I have fried two turkeys with the same oil. They say you can use it up to 5 times before disposing it. make sure the oil is cold and put it into the original container. Also before storing the oil be sure to strain the oil. I used a big tea strainer with a funnel. That took all of the little stuff out of the oil. One good thing about the electric fryer is that you just set the cooking temp and forget it. You don't have to worry about propane. The fried turkey looked so good frying I decided to cut up 3 large potatoes and make a batch of french fries ! YUM YUM.. they were crispy and delicious.

[@dukenerd6320]

Once having worked for KFC for over 10 years from Cook to Manager, I have dealt with many in-store fires! the advice in this video is way over the top. All kitchens should have a fire blanket, wet chemical extinguisher or a powder extinguisher (Multi-Purpose), a smoke alarm and know where your gas cut off switch is located, that's all the protection you need to safely fry indoors. Most major fires happen because people panic and make mistakes with water which only fuels a GAS Oil fire. It is perfectly safe to cook from frozen, at KFC the chicken is drenched in water seconds before frying 4-8x chicken heads in a single fryer. However frying frozen meat compared to chilled results in different textures, some meat cuts work better than others but generally as a taste point of view chilled is preferred in both takeaway and high end restaurants. If you get boil overs its because the oil level is too high or your dropping in it to quickly. It is also worth mentioning that when you remove your turkey it will continue to cook for the next 5-20 mins depending on how fast it cools. If you want to cook the Turkey before everything else and want to keep the turkey moist then preheat the oven at 65c then place the turkey at the bottom of the oven and on the top shelve fill a baking tray up with water, this will evaporate and keep your bird moist for many hours but you want to eat it within 2 hours because bacteria still grows at this temperature.

Off the mustache alone, I trust this guy...

[@devinthomas4866]

Lots of great tips here. Easy way on oil level is simply drop plastic wrapped turkey in pot, cover with water, make a mark with a sharpie marker or use your thermometer as a depth gauge . If the turkey is already out of the plastic wrap, place it in a plastic garbage bag, cover with water and make a mark on inside and outside of pot. Keep the tag from each bird for weight if frying multiple birds, cook time important. Remember, kids, dogs and grab-ass don't mix with a 365 degree pot of skin scorching oil. I usually set up a folding table to keep everybody away just in case a game of football catch gets off target. Big piece of cardboard in the yard helps, fire extinguisher a must. Dry, dry, dry the bird...no ice in the bird is also a biggy. Most fires are immediately preceded by " Hold my beer", so be careful...especially if you're from Delaware or New Jersey trying this If it's your first attempt at frying a turkey, maybe look for some Cajun or Texan in your neighborhood, may save you from becoming a member of the $27,000,000 club.

[@patrickgrimes5779]

I really thought this was the guy was all the answers. “Call your local municipality and ask them how to dispose of the oil. There’s organizations that go around and collect it.” I almost died thinking about the organization that goes around on Black Friday collecting peoples used turkey oil.

[@mikearmstrong7830]

I was at an outdoor Halloween party. I had heard that they were going to have a deep fried turkey. From across the huge yard, I saw them start to lower the turkey into the boiling oil. I noticed that chunks of ice were stuck to the bird. As I run screaming toward the cooking area, orphans and old ladies are somehow flying out of my path. I got there in time to stop them but then got into an argument about the error of their way. After getting them back to a safe distance, I tossed in a small piece of the ice. They were certain that I had magical powers. The tree above the pot was the only casualty and it eventually recovered. People are so silly.

Did it today, I’ll never have a baked turkey again. I brined it for 12 hours, injected it with Cajun butter sauce, rubbed it down with Slap ya Moma seasoning, it was delicious.

[@buffuniballer]

As others have said - Measure level in the pot BEFORE you dry it so you don't need to do the work twice - Safety glasses - No exposed skin - I wear an old leather jacket so if something does happen, I'm getting hot oil on my old jacket not my exposed skin. You can fry multiple birds. I usually do two turkeys and two chickens while the oil is hot. By then, the oil is probably done. I can save energy by using the heat already in the oil. By the time the second bird has rested, the first can come off the hanger and go into the 3rd, and so on. Be safe.

[@mortgageguru]

Serious question , instead of adding water to the pot and turkey to find the full line for oil, why not just add the cold oil, fill, then remove the turkey , heat the oil, and then add the bird back? That way your not introducing water again after you already dried stuff ?

So happy u added the safety precautions

[@edranzelledoll296]

i don't get it,you dried it the the butter then submerged in water again.....really?

[@jamieritter10]

Yeah...The video misses the most important reasons as to why this can be dangerous. He says at the beginning that extra oil is why turkeys splatter when they're dipped in hot oil. It's the extra water, not oil; that is why you pat them as dry as possible. If you're using his method to determine the amount of oil to have in the pot, do that BEFORE you ever brine/prep the turkey. Dunking it in water after it's full of injection holes guarantees the thing is all kinds of full of water that you'll never pat dry unless cooking days later. He does mention not frying a frozen turkey towards the end, but that also should've been one of the very first things mentioned. Room temperature or warmer, dry as possible, and remember when using lots of butter...that has a fair percentage of water, so spend a couple of minutes slowly lowering it into the fryer. I know there are more comments about this, but it's worth repeating; the advice given does little to explain where the actual danger is...I'd say just use the turkey fryer to fry some smaller things a couple of times (they're great for wings and french fries at parties). The process is identical for a turkey, it's just the turkey is heavier and harder to deal with if something starts happening.
