Hot Oil in Pot

  with hot oil.
• Hot oil is very dangerous, so keep children and
  pets away from the oil.
• Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Checking the Turkey

• Lower the turkey slowly into the boiling oil.
• Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands.
• Its a good idea to wear an apron and a
  long-sleeve shirt, too.

Removing the Turkey

• When the turkey is finished, slowly lift it out
  of the pot using the poultry lifter.

  loop. The cavity of the turkey is placed through
  the loop.
