The Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-Less Turkey Fryer - Model 12101480 - Smokers & Fryers
I like the "no oil" idea.
Just bought one myself. Orville and Brian both have them and they cook some awesome pork roasts and chickens and turkeys.
Hope Santa brings me one!!!
Thanks for the link G. Got me sold but not sure weather to go with propane of electric.Quote:

academy sports got them $10 off right now saw them yesterday
Major......when I get one.....it will be electric
seems like electric is the way to go and more convenient. propane is not the cheapest.
I've got one, the electric model. I do chickens in it all the time. I have done a few turkey breast and a couple small turkeys in it. I like the chickens best, but it's all good. I inject my birds then put some dry rub in the cavity, then I rub the outside down with a mayonnaise and mustard mixture, then sprinkle the same dry rub on the bird. The mayo, mustard mix doesn't flavor the bird but makes the skin a crisp golden brown. I generally cook a large hen for about an hour sometimes a little less. They turn out juicy and good!
Sounds good. I go to Costco and get a whole rotisserie chicken for I think its $5.99 now. Can't beat it. Big, juicy and tasty. Course I live 2 minutes away. :) If I get one, I'd be cooking the chickens over turkeys. Just better taste to me.
Spray the skin down with Spray Cooking oil like Pam. Turns the skin into the best thing next to fried chicken skin.Quote:

I haven't tried anything else but I guarantee I will be trying other meats in it.
Is the Turkey as good this way as it is deep fried? I know there great floating in Oil. I smoke mine there days as doctor don't like me having fried foods. But what he does not know may kill me but going to still eat some a few times per year.:Rofl
I've got the big easy propane cooker and love it !! Cooked 4 turkeys for thanksgiving and the cleanup was easy. Birds taste great ,
There is a difference in taste, but Still really good. The birds fried in oil seem to have a little crispier skin also.

$79.99 at Home Depot. But no military rate.
Betting with Pam sprayed on the skin will help that issue out.Quote:

Ya'll are killin me. Crappie.Com is gonna break me. I never even knew I needed one of those oil-less cookers till I got on here yesterday, and now I want one so bad I can taste it.
I cancelled the Char-Broil ($167.00) and ordered the Butterball ($117.00).
Huh, I didn't know CharBroil made an electric model. You sure it wasn't a smoker?
Major , what does that say ? Smoker and Roaster. it says nothing about oilless turkey fryer.
Works on same principle as the propane model.Quote:

G, I just read that the Butterball will cook a turkey up to 18lbs.
