Brinkmann 812-3325-7 - Manual (Page 8)

When deep frying a whole turkey, select a turkey in the 8 to 12 lb.
range and thaw completely.
Step 1:
Determine the amount of oil required by placing the turkey on
Turkey Stand and placing in the empty pot. Add water to pot
until turkey is covered by no more than an inch of water.
Step 2:
Remove Turkey Stand and turkey. Empty and measure the
amount of water in pot. This will give you a close
approximation of the amount of oil required to fry the turkey.
Step 3:
Dry pot thoroughly. Fill pot with the measured amount of oil.
Step 4:
Place pot with oil on cooker. Bring liquid to the desired
cooking temperature (350°-375°F for frying). For best results,
use a deep fry thermometer to check the temperature of the
oil in pot. If oil begins to smoke, reduce heat to avoid igniting
the oil. Do not allow oil to exceed 375°F as it can ignite.
Step 5:
Pat the turkey dry and sprinkle Brinkmann Fried Turkey Rub’N
Spice or other seasoning between skin and meat of the turkey.
Step 6:
Place seasoned turkey with the neck cavity pointing down on
Turkey Stand. Wearing protective gloves and clothing, use the
Hanger to slowly lower stand into hot oil. It is important to
maintain a temperature between 350° and 375°F. Once oil
regains this temperature, you may need to regulate the flame.
Do not let oil overheat or a fire may result.
Step 7:
Estimate cooking time by the formula of 3 minutes of frying
time per pound of turkey (example: a 10 lb. turkey should cook
at least thirty minutes). Check doneness with a meat
thermometer after removing turkey from hot oil. Use caution
as food will be very hot.
Step 9:
When food is done, turn cooker OFF. Always turn propane
tank valve OFF first, then turn the “T
„
valve OFF.
Step 10:
Allow cooker to cool completely, then follow instructions in
the ”After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance”
sections on page 8 of this manual.

NOTE: Although vegetable oil may be used,
we recommend that you use high
quality cooking oil such as peanut oil
when deep frying. Peanut oil can
withstand many frying cycles as well
as high frying temperature when
cooking large quantities of food.
