I bought one of these about 6-7 years ago. Best purchase I"ve made for the holidays.

[@Tallie602]

I asked my boyfriend to keep an eye out for an electric turkey roaster at goodwill, and he found an unassembled big easy for $48. We got very lucky! Just put it together yesterday, we’ll see how the turkey turns out!!

[@JohnVHLife]

Score!

[@fortunateson6070]

I'm going to start doing that foil on the drip tray exit, I normally run the cooker for another 30 mins with the lid on after I take the turkey out to burn it to charcoal.

[@mcconn746]

Looks great. Thanks. If you want to try something different, I inject Zesty Italian dressing after draining the solids. I then rub the solids inside the turkey. It is quite good.

[@JohnVHLife]

Sounds great!

[@chadmanl2121]

I needed a refresher course on my Big Easy. Thank you for posting the video!

[@BigLewBBQ]

I love the Big Easy! Good video. I need to try a butter turkey like that.

[@JohnVHLife]

Us too! Thank you!

[@adamchance3828]

I’ve been using my Big Easy for almost 8 years now. It’s awesome for turkeys, up to 3 small chickens & hanging ribs from the edges of the cage. The top tray is awesome for bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed jalapeños for appetizers. The air fryer does a good job with bacon if you have the patience to hang it around the edges.

[@johnford3761]

Do you inject your Turkey? Or similar to this method on video?

[@jbreefer148]

I ordered one off of Amazon and can't wait to use it. Great video❤

[@JohnVHLife]

Awesome! Thank you! Let me know how you like it!!

[@reckemroysrc3764]

And now I want one. That bird looked delicious 😋 i will definitely be trying the butter under the skin trick

[@JohnVHLife]

So good, Im the designated turkey cooker for our whole family with this thing.

[@therealmrsmall]

Had ours for many years and turkeys turnbout amazing! I was shocked to see you put butter on the outside though ...We usualy do the butter under the skin and daves famous rub seasoning on the outside. Have done numerous prime rib roasts in ours too and they turn out amazing as well!

[@jwilli850]

You just made me order one ❤

Oh, youll enjoy it! Keep me posted!

Yesss!

[@beekaye1496]

True oil less fryer. Love mines

[@americanmilitiaman88]

Picked up one today at Lowes. 107 out the door. My dad said he used one last year and it turned out great. Been wanting to fry one for years but never got around to getting a fryer. Not having to drop 50 dollars on oil and the clean up and disposal of oil is what sold me on this one.

[@JohnVHLife]

Exactly!! We’re very happy with ours!

[@bobbywhite1411]

My dad just brought one over this morning as a late birthday gift and I am excited about trying it out

Well I think you did a great job on. That looks absolutely delicious. I'm definitely getting one of these. What some of the negative comments. Wow. Thanks again 😎

[@JohnVHLife]

Thank you, it was delish, and is every year! Appreciate it!

[@MROJPC]

Had and used this infrared for almost 10 years. I have a oil fryer and used that in the past, but the infrared is better in every way; faster set up, less expensive (no oil), safer, and much easier and the turkeys and hams turned out just as tasty. Win, win, win. I will be cooking my holiday dinners on this contraption for sure. 👍

[@johnford3761]

Do you inject your Turkey? Or similar to this method on video?

[@valvefloater]

Have had our fryer since they first came out and enjoy cooking our Bird in this annually it is the only way our daughter will eat turkey we usually wait till the next day and go grab a couple more birds and keep those frozen so we can have Turkey through the next couple of months. I have been brining my birds over the last few years we have found that the Kinders brine kit is our favorite. If you haven't tried brining it is worth the effort.

[@C-mac_in_the_6ix]

Jesus, that looks incredible. .

[@JohnVHLife]

Thanks! It’s delish!!

[@shumardi1]

I’ve been looking at the Big Easy for a while now. Haven’t pull the trigger yet but that thing looks awesome.

[@JohnVHLife]

I’ve done oil. We like this better. No oil to take care of and easy clean up with similar taste!

[@drjsmajor]

Upside--it is very very easy. Downside--it is a large item to store for one or only a few uses per year.

[@shadowrigg]

Dang that looks awesome. Going to use mine for the second time this thanksgiving. Does the tin-foil in the bottom help with cooking or is it only for the cleanup?

[@JohnVHLife]

tinfoil in the bottom, and line the drip tray, almost zero clean up mess!!

[@peternaz4ever]

She needs to get her hands deep inside that turkey skin! That's the joy of it 😊 I always cook turkey for Thanksgivings took over my dad job cause everyone loves the way I make it 😅

[@sidneywhite749]

Like the idea of foil in the bottom of the cooker, it does get dirty and a pita to clean. Do you use spray oil inside the cooker and basket first and preheat?

[@JohnVHLife]

I havent sprayed anything on it since I seasoned it

[@popwisdom222]

Tinfoil on bottom was a good tip. Does it use a lot of propane? Just picked one up at lowes on blackfriday sale.

[@JohnVHLife]

I dont think it uses alot, probably similar or less than a bbq

[@Bill87762]

Amazing! But the oil fry creates such a crispy skin- does this fryer? Skin looks soft

[@JohnVHLife]

The skin is good. Not exactly the same as oil. But still great

[@therealmrsmall]

Skin can be as crispy as you like, it depends on how much you have the top lid on.

[@user-ln5jf8wr7r]

How much of the propane did you use? Would you say a half or close to the whole 5 gallon bottle?

[@JohnVHLife]

Not much at all.

[@f.w.1318]

Just curious have you tried cooking it with the breast meat facing down ? I figured most of the butter mix would would make its way toward the white meat, thanks

[@JohnVHLife]

no, because the drippings drain out best this way, I leaned it to someone and they put the bird in neck down, and it didnt turn out good for them at all

[@uhtred7108]

The problem I've had is the breast are up to temp, but the thigh area is lower and i try getting that up to temp and the breast over cook. I might try putting the grate on top at the beginning like you did, but i usually do it towards the end.

[@JohnVHLife]

Hm, what about putting tin foil around the breast of it?

[@therealmrsmall]

I usually start with the lid on, and then depending on outside temps put the lid on and off periodically for 10 to 15 mins throughout the cook...then lid on more to get skin crispness I desire towards the end as breast hits 163 when I take bird out.

[@SaltH2oAssassin]

Do you keep by time or temp? If time, how many minutes per pound. If by temp, what internal temp do you want?

[@JohnVHLife]

I have a timer. But 100% go by temp. About 11 min per pound. But 165 in breast.

[@therealmrsmall]

I usually take my turkey out when breast hits 163 and while it rests it comes to 165.

[@user-sp9hy8tq4j]

10-12 min lb

[@rangerdude1966]

Could I still inject the turkey and use this method under the skin and outside? Also do you just go under the skin on the breast/top side or do you do the legs thighs also?

[@JohnVHLife]

She doesnt do the legs, but it wouldnt hurt at all. Yes you could.

[@vamphunterx]

Clean burning Strickland propane!!!

[@halfsleep3554]

What temp did you pull it at?

[@JohnVHLife]

165 in the breast

[@halfsleep3554]

@@JohnVHLife what you think about the method of pulling at 163/164 and letting it carryover to 165?

[@JohnVHLife]

@@halfsleep3554You bet, that would work too, I just over worry about things not being done, but Im sure 1-2 degrees early would work fine!

[@irishbball]

How do you keep the basket clean though? Pita

[@JohnVHLife]

Nope. Is super easy. I spray it with cooking spray. Makes clean up easy. I’ve shown that in my other cooking vids.

[@josephdemoss689]

How many minutes per pound

[@JohnVHLife]

Until the temp is right. Don’t cook by time. Approx 11/lb

[@josephdemoss689]

I will definitely cook to temp but I was looking for a reference to start with. Like the 10/11 minutes a pound. Thanks and have a wonderful thanksgiving

[@johnford3761]

Have you tried to inject your Turkey? Or brine?

[@JohnVHLife]

We have brined it before, didnt notice a difference, so we dont anymore because its not worth the trouble.

[@plaza71121]

The only thing i do differant is that I flip my bird around half way to even the cook.

[@horacejones5226]

When you say “flip my bird around”, are you saying flip it upside down where the breasts are facing down?

[@TheHexxxtor]

What where the ingredients?

[@JohnVHLife]

The beginning my wife shows what shes doing.

[@user-lu3gz4lg5d]

I couldn't quite understand your wifes mentioning of the herbs she added to the butter, Could you write back with them I know one was rosemary.

[@ericpurcell3100]

Thyme rosemary and sage

Thank you!@@ericpurcell3100

[@thegreasycoqui]

Do you guys add any salt?

[@user-sp9hy8tq4j]

Raw inside ! Drippings was full of blood! Hope y’all ok

[@JohnVHLife]

Haha, better get your eyes checked!

[@thegreasycoqui]

There was definitely blood in the drippings because it was pink, but is that because there’s really nothing heating up the drippings. Like there is no heat in that bottom tray. Does the skin get crispy? Also that top cover is like a mesh letting air come out so how did the top of your turkey get so golden and looking delicious.

[@jackiesicilian5720]

Yes it looked bloody to me too. Maybe the video though.

[@JohnVHLife]

@@jackiesicilian5720keep in mind, the drippings are coming out from when it wasnt fully cooked, the drippings need to be boiled to make them edible. The turkey was fully cooked.

[@jackiesicilian5720]

@JohnVHLife oh ok thanks

[@dougkaylor2528]

good video. I'm going to smoke our turkey till 150 degrees then transfer it to our big easy to finish it up to 160 degrees If anyone has ever do this please give me some pointers. Thanks

That sounds good. Keep us posted on how that turns out!

[@therealmrsmall]

That shoukd be awesome.

[@johnford3761]

Thats the proper way, yes. So it drains.

@@JohnVHLife my man👍🏻

[@CurtisHibbs]

Uhhh... isn't this just called "roasting"... just like you can do in your oven?

[@minato808]

You roast a 15 pound turkey in the oven in 2.5 hours?

[@cleigh951]

@@minato808actually it only takes 1 more hour at most. So unless you just need your oven for all the sides you are cooking then it is basically like cooking in the oven. This is a great option for people who want to be outdoors cooking the turkey on the day of Thanksgiving without having to fry it in all that oil and again that frees up your oven space for other things. 👍

[@nib71286]

The convection oven works similar, but a conventional oven only heats from one direction, whereas radiated hear surrounds the item. Think normal firepit vs solo firepit.

[@cussininthekitchen8224]

Radiant heat around the bird crisps the skin/airfrys it. If you haven’t used an air fryer, try it sometime it’s delicious!!! Fried taste without submerging your food in oil

[@JohnVHLife]

This is better, and frees up the oven to make other things.
