deep fried second turkey yesterday along with one for a padna, worth the trouble
doing 2 more on boxing day

My turkey somehow comes out dry

A good Brine recipe and procedure usually takes care of that, also cooking to doneness and NOT over cooking.

My dad invested in a Char-Broil Big Easy - Oilless Infrared Turkey Fryer..

This chit it THA BOMB!!! It deep fries your turkey without a drop of oil, turkey is golden brown and crisp on the outside and moist and healthy on the inside.

It's a must get for those of us who will never bake a turkey again, not when frying it is so damn delicious!

^ Frying without oil????.......................sorcery!!!!

[~*Pãñdorą*~]

It's really like cooking with indirect heat, sorta like a propane powered cooking oven.
The end product though is VERY like something that's been deep-fried.
Which is why they market it as a deep fryer.

any ideas on keeping a chicken moist when baking? like what to stuff or baste it with. i was thinking of using some melted butter and stuffing with bread.

[pugboy]

99% of turkeys are pre-brined now, if you read the labels
they say already treated with an 8% solution.

Turkeys I fried were straight out of pack, no seasoning.

That infrared looking good, can it do stuff like fish, pork pieces etc ?

Best chicken to use is fresh chicken. Not frozen. If it's frozen, let it thaw and clean thoroughly, lime it, wash, and soak it in clean water. After you can take it out, wash again, season it normal, and marinate. You can make little incisions, and stick in your seasoning. Any water remaining from the seasoning you can put in the pan with the chicken to bake. Freezing meat takes away moisture. That's why I love to by chicken straight from the local supplier. While baking, you can leave a small pot with water in the stove. It helps to keep it moist. Maintain proper temperature and time. Different parts take longer or less time to cook. If it's whole, rotate on the shelves. I hope my wisdom can help. These are things I went through, to establish a tender juicy inner meat, with a light crispy outside.

truss the chicken and don't over cook it,
use a thermometer
google "Thomas keller roast chicken"

[playerskrew]

Bought a turkey... Gonna try the fry seen.

[pugboy]

have a big pot with at least 6" clearance from the top with oil and turkey in it for safety

[playerskrew]

depending on the size of thje bird i jus cover the bird/tray with foil for the first 15-20mins at around 200-250 deg f.
and then 20 mins without foil at 450deg f.
and use a thermometer to check the deepest part of the breast and thigh

[pugboy]

try the keller method, 450-475 all the way
crispy skin, salt/pepper only
you would be surprised

[~*Pãñdorą*~]

I thinking half baked an then fried.

No no it should be the other way around.
Fry it to seal the juices in and get that skin crispy, then finish off uncovered in the oven.

Pugboy, see this review..

I do find the food basket a little restrictive, or maybe not restrictive enough. Above the 16-pound turkey there are a lot you can do with this unit (like big kebabs of Brazilian beef) but you will need to be creative to get foods to sit properly so they can cook evenly. Char-Broil is apparently looking at some accessories that will make this unit more versatile in the future.

So I suppose anything that fits in the basket you can "fry".

[meccalli]

Searing to 'seal' juices is an absolutely ridiculous myth, been blown apart many a times, the act of searing itself is basically browning via maillard. Searing itself begins dehydration, that's why i like sous vide so much, you sear, fry or torch the meat lastly, your meat is already cooked to perfection and still retaining the majority of your flavorful liquids. For me, when i do stuff like brined turkey breasts, its seared fast with some aromatics in a skillet, put in the oven covered @ low, and then uncovered and blasted shortly to crisp up. Couldn't get a butterball for this christmas, people snatching up really fast lol.

[pugboy]

thawing out some sous vide beef chuck I did a week ago for tomorrow, 3 days at 135f
expected to be like butter

[meccalli]

[VexXx Dogg]

Where did you get the meat grinder? I still want one, pref all stainless steel. Comes with sausage stuffing attachment?

I want to make some gattdamn sausage!

[kevin5211]

thats it, and yeah it has the attachment and a finer blade for sausage making
its a bit tedious if you are alone, and have to do large amounts, but for around 5lbs of meat
it will work easily

i also have this somewhere in a cupboard
