We hosted the family for thanksgiving, which was fun.

We did the turkey in a fryer (saf-t-fryer from lowes, it’s a little pricy but it had a lot of safety features). We learned a few things (”if your fryer has a thermal cutoff, do not run the flame too hot, or it will over-protectively shut down the flame”). It’s got a very low center of gravity, and doesn’t want to tip, which was part of why i bought this one. After dinner, while the oil was cooling, we got a first hand example of how well designed it is– a possum crawled up the side, over the top, was hanging on one edge, and lapping at the used oil. Didn’t tip. :) Wish we had a picture of it.

The turkey came out great. I’ll have to get the name of the butcher from Leah, they were great and very reasonably priced (about $2.70/lb). We used this marinade and it came out GREAT. Turkey was super tender, the skin was awesome, and the meat was all very tasty.

All in all, definitely a repeat, I think.
