Benefits of Using an Outdoor Fryer

Outdoor fryers like turkey and fish fryers help free up oven space and require less time to cook meat to perfection. Propane turkey fryers can crisp up an entire turkey in under an hour, helping to achieve a crispy brown crust and moist, juicy interior. Outdoor propane fryers can also be used as fish fryers for deliciously fried seafood. Besides poultry and fish, you can also cook onion rings, French fries, donuts, hush puppies and other meals.

How Do Turkey Fryers Work?

Outdoor turkey fryers work similarly to other types of deep fryers but with greater capacity. They are designed to cook your food to your liking in temperature-controlled hot oil. However, depending on the type you choose they will work differently.

Propane Turkey Fryer

Most outdoor fryers are powered by propane, just like many gas grills. Propane deep fryers offer a convenient frying experience. Depending on the model, they can require a few gallons of oil with a high smoke point to cook food. Compared to oil-less models, these turkey fryers cook faster and produce crispy yet tender meat. And when you’re running low on fuel, refill your propane tank at an Ace near you.

Oil Free Turkey Fryer

An oil free turkey fryer is also a suitable option. They help you get that deep fry flavor without the oil, using infrared technology to get a delicious crispy exterior. With no oil, these turkey fryers can be less messy and provide healthier meals, too.

Electric Turkey Fryer

An electric fryer is typically smaller and designed to be used indoors. They can cook poultry, veggies and more using oil, infrared technology or convection heat.

Deep Fryer Safety Tips

It is vital to follow certain safety precautions when cooking with a deep fryer.

• Be sure to closely monitor the oil temperature.
• Position your propane fryer on a stable, level outdoor surface and away from flammable objects.
• Allow proper ventilation around the fryer and closely supervise it when in use.
