Bayou Classic 3016 30-Quart Outdoor Turkey Fryer with Basket and Fry Pot
Product Review
Constructed from commercial-grade aluminum and cast iron, this outdoor turkey fryer kit features a 30-quart stockpot with a tall, narrow shape that requires less cooking oil than a standard stockpot. Specifically designed for frying whole turkeys, the pot facilitates a circular flow of oil for an even cooking temperature throughout. The unit's perforated poultry rack with a grab hook makes it easy to safely insert and remove the turkey from the pot, while its 12-inch stainless-steel deep-fry thermometer is perfect for maintaining a constant temperature of cooking oil when frying. The unit offers not only everything needed to fry a whole turkey in as little as 45 minutes, but it also includes a 10-quart fry pot for frying chicken, fish, or a batch of corn fritters, plus a large steam/boil basket, which is ideal for boiling crawfish, shrimp, and vegetables. The outdoor gas burner with its cast-iron reversible grate provides exceptional cooking performance, while its solid leg design ensures stability. Other useful features include a 10-PSI regulator, a vented lid, as well as a 1-ounce trial seasoning injector and a 3.2-ounce seasoning sample. The pot measures approximately 18-1/2 inches tall by 14-1/2 inches wide with a 16 by 16 by 12-inch tall burner. A perfect addition to outdoor entertaining, the CSA-certified cooking system offers a fun and delicious new way to cook the Thanksgiving turkey or prepare food for any gathering.

The smell, the mess, the smell...Anyway, I recently decided to throw a fish fry and decided it was time to invest in a fryer. The biggest issue for me in purchasing a fryer was the sturdiness of the burner stand. Besides having the ability to heat 12 quarts of oil, I also wanted a burner stand that would hold the weight of 20 quarts of beer for my homebrewing. I decided on the Bayou Classic. This Bayou Classic kit came with everything and setup was simple. The burner stand exceeded my expectations for sturdiness and the height was such that when using the 10 quart stock pot, you could place the burner stand on a safe sturdy work surface to elevate it off the ground. I plan on also using this burner with my wok. The burner was able to bring the oil to temperature in approximately 15 minutes. The Fish and Chips turned out great. Of course when using 350 degree boiling oil, you do not want your weekend fry festival to end with either a trip to your local burn unit or a reason to see if Allstate really has you in good hands. Common sense must prevail and last time I checked, Amazon does not sell that yet. Set your fry area up away from kids, pets and anything that you want to see another day. If you follow that simple advice, all should turn out okay. Clean up can be best described as "sticky", but in order to get the life out of your aluminum parts, don't skimp. Now that I have tackled fish and chips, I will have to move on to the other "must have" fried foods these days: turkeys, chickens, and Twinkies. I can't wait. |
