Butterball Turkey Fryer and the Chef Basket
Using The Butterball Indoor Turkey Fryer
I swore the first time I had a fried turkey would be my last. Our son had one of these old fashioned fryers where you boiled the oil over an open flame. Of course, he set the fryer in the middle of the back yard so that if there was an explosion or fireball, he wouldn’t burn down the neighborhood. He did get burned though. When he put the turkey into the boiling oil, he hadn’t thoroughly dried it off, so he got burned with boiling oil splatter. After that, it was fairly uneventful. The finished turkey wasn’t real good as it was really greasy. When he said he was going to do it every Thanksgiving, I began to look for other alternatives.
The Butterball Turkey Fryer has been advertised all over this year, especially on the As Seen On TV Commercials. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s a flame-less, indoor countertop appliance that won’t help you celebrate the holidays by burning down your house. Because it uses less oil (two gallons instead of three), it’s far healthier as well as safer than the original open flamed outdoor turkey fryer. Also, the temperature is controlled by a digital timer and thermostat so that you’re able to control the cooking time and get a perfectly fried turkey every time…crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It will fry up to a 14 pound turkey with predictable, delicious results every time. I know because I ordered one for my son, and he did this year’s Thanksgiving turkey with it in about 45 minutes cooking time. The Butterball Turkey Fryer is a great way to get a moist, perfectly cooked turkey every time.
Cooking With The Chef Basket
Recently, my wife saw the Chef Basket…also on an As Seen On TV spot. This is a super handy cooking aide that has many uses. It’s really and ingenious colander type basket that’s collapsible, reversible and folds flat when not in use. When you want to use it, just flip it open to the appropriate side and use for frying, steaming, boiling or par-boiling. What makes this basket so unique is that the handles don’t get hot while the basket’s in use. So, you can take the Chef Basket full of pasta right out of the boiling water, rinse, and then pour directly into the serving dish without having to use a strainer.
We had sweet potato fries made with the Chef Basket to go with the fried Thanksgiving turkey. Boy, were they great. My wife just set the Chef Basket in the pot of boiling oil, dumped in the sweet potatoes, and fried them to a crisp golden brown. Makes your mouth water, doesn’t it!
Using these two new cooking aides made our Thanksgiving more enjoyable than ever…less time and effort in the kitchen and more time for socializing.
