Is this enough to deep fry a turkey in an electric fryer?

Yes, but check your fryer quarts and bird size. A lot of oil. I use mine for wok and cast iron cooking. I hope this answer helps.

Yes it will. The High-Temp Probe can be inserted into the bird and left in during the cooking process. The cable and probe junction is sealed, and the cable itself will withstand short term exposure up to 700F. Plenty of room when frying at 300F.

I've fried a 16# turkey with as little as 18,000 BTU. I prefer to run 30,000-50,000 when looking at a new unit. This one will do what I need easily.

I would say no, the coating should be dry to use this machine. Drop something wet into regular hot oil in a fry daddy.

No, you simply plug it in and unplug it when done.You can fry about 4 cups of raw potatoes or 4-5 pieces of meat at one time. If you overfill it, food will not come out as crispy.

This unit does not fry a turkey. The large fryer will do 12lbs and the xxl will do 14 lbs

Unequivocally NO. That would be dangerous. You need an actual pressure fryer to do this. And they are available. Do a Google search (or Amazon).

I've only used it for deep frying so far but I don't see why not. It's your average bottom-heated non-stick pot.

I agree with Kim I have only used mine for deep frying and it should work on any cooking method but for me a smaller thermometer that can be tucked away in a drawer would be more convenient for daily use as this is a very large thermometer that sits in a deep pot and requires a large storage area.

No matter what I have fried in there....be it french fries, onion rings, whole chickens, or 18 lb turkeys...I have always kept it at the maximum level----I think there is a minimum level as well---as long as the heating element is covered you will be ok..

I'm not sure. I have never used it for deep frying. It is only two (2) inches deep. The temperature control seems accurate. It might work.

I would say no, designed for water, broths etc. would be very careful using oil in it, rubber O-rings. Look for a deep fryer..

Yes you can fry other things besides a turkey and the cooking time depends on what you are cooking... Google would be able to let you know how long to cook lets say fish or chicken

Hello, yes It can be used for just about any deep fried foods. Well worth the money.

Sure does! The secret to frying anything in this is to do it in small batches and then transfer to a 375 or 400 degree oven. Keeps the item crisp and hot.

I have only used this for in the oven dishes and on top of the stove dishes. Have not used it for deep frying, not sure I would. I have used it to brown onion, and meat. Hope this helps.
