Masterbuilt Butterball 20 Pound Indoor Digital Electric Home Turkey Fryer

I have used a traditional pot on a gas flame for 15 years...That has always turned out a great bird. The issue had been that you are limited to 15 or 16 pound birds. Had to do 3 of them for a big gathering.This year I was easier with this fryer...I did 2 Twenty Two pound birds! Very easy to use. I still did this on our back porch for the first time as I had been used to the pot and flame method. It was very easy to put the bird in, and the thermostat kept the temp where it needed to be rather than me adjusting the flame and monitoring the temps throughout the cooking process. This could be done inside on a kitchen counter away from little kids...Clean up is MUCH easier than the pot method as the tank comes out and has a drain. I always dreaded that pot clean out...If I had to pick on this at all, I would say that it took much longer to hear the oil than I had anticipated. Next time I will know better and just turn it on earlier...I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants that glorious fried turkey flavor! (Or whatever else you want to fry.)

Overall a nice unit. Currently used to shrink wrap smaller fresh birds. Haven't tried oil yet. Cover is a little flimsy yet closes fine. Item did arrive with small mark on cover and was full of finger prints. Sold to us as new, looks new, yet finger prints says it was out of the box at some point. Lowest temp setting is 212 deg F. We must have read incorrectly. Would be nice to dial it down to 180 for water. All in all nice simple unit. Comes apart easy to clean. Drain assembly well thought out. :)

This product did a great job frying a thanksgiving turkey but I am really happy that I did it in the garage. The oil smell is quite overpowering as it vents on three sides. I would very much caution against indoor use with this in mind. In addition, pay attention to how to get heating started as it does not have a "on/off" switch.

I will never go back to oven turkeys again. The deep fryer is gr8. The turkey was done perfectly and juicy. I did inject a seasoning mix and seasoned the outside with Poultry seasoning and it was fantastic. I cooked a 16.65lb turkey in 67 minutes. All I can say is I will never go back to cooking a turkey in any other way. Thanks Masterbuilt.

This would have received 5 stars because it worked amazing, but the inner aluminum strainer has a couple sharp edges that cut my thumb while cleaning, so be careful.

The plug too easily unplugged from the fryer which makes it a little difficult and getting the temperature built up And maintained .

Great for frying a large turkey (in oil); but also great for a low country boil (in water).

Excellent results; user friendly and easy to clean. I highly recommend buying the heat resistance gloves to facilitate removing the bird once finished and handling the unit when draining the oil (if done shortly after cooking). I also recommend using the Butterball marinade and seasoning. All available on Amazon.
