I started using this Indoor Fryer 2 days ago. Best catfish ever! I also fried turkey wings and a whole chicken the same day. I had no trouble at all with a 4 lb chicken and bought some small turkeys to fry later. Imagine frying a whole chicken in 17 minutes! No need to imagine it, you can do it!
Easy to use even for a beginner. Cleanup is a breeze! The oil drains perfectly clean if you want to use it again. I was able to drain it all back into the bottles without using a strainer.
The Masterbuilt company has answered every question in a very timely fashion. I would recommend this Indoor Fryer to anyone looking to have fun frying foods. |
Perfect and saves times!!

This is clearly a time saver and if you are considering buying a new turkey fryer, you should get this one and not anything else.
It is very spacious and you can have all the turkey cooked in one shot, rather than divide and cook multiple times.
I own a oil free outdoor turkey fryer, also from masterbuilt [ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JM1ZN8?ie=UTF8&tag=mama0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002JM1ZN8 ], which is quite quick, but this one is even faster and can also accommodate extra space. Cleaning the fryer is also quite easy.
On the whole, I have been pleased with masterbuilt and this one is perhaps the best for indoor cooking. I also like the digital clock on the device, and also a viewing window, for ease. They really put a lot of thought before designing this fryer.

Outdoor Cooking Writer Takes it Inside with New Turkey Fryer

I had been using an outdoor turkey fryer, since I do a lot of outdoor cooking. I own a Barbecue Master blog and the barbecue site Yes You Can Grill. While I liked the outdoor fryer, it is bulky and quite a chore to set up and use, so I went with the indoor turkey fryer by Masterbuilt along with ButterBall Turkey company this time.
The indoor Masterbuilt is very similar to the smaller indoor fryers used for French fries and stuff like that, but it's, of course, bigger to hold a turkey. It will hold up to a 14 pound turkey but is recommended for 10 to 12 pounders. It's also great for turkey breasts but with the temp a little lower (325 vs 375).
This is a cabinet top model, so there are not long legs and worries about tipping over a huge vat of boiling hot oil. Also, the lid closes for more safety and also helps keep the air in the house from getting all oil gunky.
You need about a gallon and a half of oil for the fryer which takes close a half hour to heat to temp.
The turkey needs to be totally thawed and also patted dry as water and oil do not mix, and water on there is going to make hot grease splatter. It's fine to add rubs on the turkey, but that goes make the oil kind of gross. Injection is a better bet esp if you want to re-use the oil later. There's a spout in the back to run that out to save.
Fried turkey in this Masterbuilt by Butter Ball turns out absolutely beautiful turkey. The color is very impressive. Looks like magazine turkey. It's the flavor that matters though, and the crisp outside is favorful (esp when I rubbed it good with Pig Pens seasoning), and then the meat inside is real moist. Just all round yummy turkey and much better than so many you get that are baked or smoked and overcooked and dry.
Frying times are 4 minutes per pound, so with the 6 pound turkey breast last night, we fried around 40 minutes.

I used mine for the first time Thanksgiving - just bought it first of November .... I was so impressed by the reviews I quickly bought 2 as Christmas gifts and had them shipped and THEY ARRIVED before THANKSGIVING (THANKS AMAZON) ... early Christmas gift I should say
Here is what NOT to do with your turkey fryer ... we had a large crowd so I wanted 2 turkeys .... so after the first one finished ... I put the second one in ... about half way through smoke was filling the house and bad bad smell when you burn peanut oil.... the turkey was okay ...
What I should have done .... unplugged ... removed the heating element - CLEANED the heating element ... drain off the bottom part of the oil to remove sludge residue ... THEN add whatever oil I needed to add - THEN cook the second turkey .... Don't forget to remove the water that gathers in the top trap - the 2nd turkey way over filled that.
I'm STILL cleaning the black off the heating element ..... will probably have to get a replacement heating element.
The only draw back is .... it puts out a LOT OF STEAM - ..... will quickly fog up any window it is next to.
I'm anxious to try other recipes in this. Don't bother looking - as of this review Amazon has the BEST price - Target may be a couple of dollars less - but, you can't beat Amazon service.
