The kit includes an 11-gallon fryer that can accommodate up to a 25-pound turkey, burner stand that attaches to any standard propane cylinder, and a perforated inner basket for draining the turkey, along with all the accessories needed: insulated gloves and a grab hook, an oil thermometer that clips right to the basket, and even a seasoning injector syringe. The Bayou Classic "Big Bird" Kit is the second-most-expensive fryer we tested, but for the whole-turkey challenge, it's worth it. In the last 20 years or so, deep-fried turkey has expanded well beyond its ancestral home in Cajun country to become a holiday favorite all around the U.S., and it's for good reason: This process is perhaps the best possible way to prepare a whole bird, yielding crispy skin, moist meat, and delicious flavor throughout. This makes the included lid get very hot while frying, which kind of defeats the purpose of a lid.ĭimensions: 15.5 x 14.5 x 19 inches | Capacity: 4.2 quarts | Power: Electric (1,700 watts)īayou Classic's Turkey Fryer Kit Has Everything You Need From Gloves to Burner We were also concerned about the fact that the top of the heating element sits out of the oil. It did a great job with frozen chicken fingers, and made both french fries and potato chips that were crisp, but also fairly oily-probably due to the fact that it wasn't able to bring the oil all the way back up to temperature after the food was added. The Secura performed well, heating up accurately if not particularly quickly. ("Triple-Basket" is a bit of a misnomer, as all three baskets don't actually fit at the same time.) It's designed to hold two separate baskets side-by-side, so you can fry up two courses at once-or use the double-sized third basket to make one big batch instead. Plus, its baskets hook on the edge of the fryer for easy draining. This machine offers adjustable heat control, an automatic timer, and a helpful light that indicates when the oil is up to temperature. The Secura Triple-Basket isn't the least-expensive deep fryer we tested, but if you want a full-featured deep fryer for less than a hundred bucks, it's our best choice. This has some nice safety features, too, including cool-touch handles for moving the whole thing around, a sturdy lid that keeps the oil covered, a quick-release magnetic power cord, and a heating element that creates a "cool zone" at the bottom of the bowl where any food bits that fall out of the basket can settle without burning.ĭimensions: 16 x 10.4 x 11.4 inches | Capacity: 4 quarts | Power: Electric (1,800 watts) Besides the removable heating element, every part of the machine is dishwasher-safe, and the inner bowl is removable by itself for easy disposing of used oil. We were impressed with its easy setup-open the box, insert the heating element and basket, and you're done-as well as how easy it is to clean. The Breville Smart Fryer heated oil to 300 degrees Fahrenheit in just six minutes and did a great job frying potato chips, frozen chicken tenders, and french fries, leaving all three nice and crispy without too much excess grease.
