Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer

Initially, I was impressed.  Seasoned everything, prepped the turkey, and dropped it in. Immediately, it started sizzling. Smells wonderful!! After 15 minutes, the skin was starting to caramelize.  The burner wraps 360 degrees around the bottom of the cooker.  You can see it without the cooking cylinder in place: Ring of Fire.

The mesh lid does affect the crisping of the top of the bird. So far, this thing is living up to the hype.

The turkey sits in a basket which is dropped into the cooking chamber.

Wow, this thing really works. Results were much like turkeys I’ve fried. Too much sugar in my rub and brine, so the skin got dark, but it was crispy just like a deep fried turkey. Its the real deal, people. I was skeptical.

13 lb turkey done in under 90 minutes.

BONUS: We got a quart of juice from the bird for gravy.
