Why Buy the Char Broil Oil-Less Infrared Turkey Fryer - BBQ or Deep Fry Reviews

One day, I was having a long conversation with my college friend over the phone after many years. We had loads and loads of things to share with each other.  She was telling me how exciting it was to have all her close friends and relatives in her house, on Thanksgiving Day. She told me that it was the best thanksgiving ever.  The turkey that she cooked was so tender and moist that all her guests just loved it. The reason behind such an outcome was her new Char Broil turkey fryer.  My friend urged me to buy one as she already recommended the product to her sister and few of her friends, who gave her positive feedback about the infrared turkey fryer. I told her that I would try. After ending my one hour conversation with my friend, I decided to check out the fryer that she mentioned.

I wanted to get more information about the Char Broil fryer and the best place to search was the internet. Since, my husband and kids crave for meat; I wanted to buy something that is capable of performing healthy cooking. I read numerous reviews on various forums and learnt that most of the consumers who posted their opinions were pretty satisfied after using the product. I even watched a video demonstration of the product, which helped me in knowing how exactly the fryer functions. After making a comparison of the infrared turkey fryer with others, I made up my mind to go for it.

Char Broil’ Big Easy Infrared Turkey Fryer has a chamber made of stainless steel, drop-in basket, lid, cool touch handles, removable grease tray, enclosed propane burner, meat thermometer and cooking guide.

Additional accessories such as cover for the fryer, heat gloves, HedgeHawg grill brush, and drip pans can be purchased at an extra cost.

Easy Operation

Usage and operation of the Char Broil turkey fryer is pretty straightforward and easy. The product has a built-in rotary ignition. To operate the fryer, a propane tank is required. Since, this was not a part of the sales package; I had to buy it separately. The double wall cylindrical shaped cooking stainless steel chamber is motorized with a fully enclosed propane burner that is capable of producing 16,000 BTUs of power.

Expecting juicy and tender turkey is reasonable, but dealing with fire hazards and hot oil splatter is pretty painful. Unlike the traditional deep fryers, the char broil turkey fryer does not use oil. Prior to using the Char Broil turkey fryer, I used to buy 3-4 gallons of peanut oil, thus depleting my bank account, every time I wanted to cook a turkey. I also faced the problem of pre-heating it and searching for an environmental friendly place to dispose the oil. This used to consume a lot of my precious time. On the other hand, the Char Broil turkey fryer uses infrared technology. The one hundred percent infrared heat that radiates from the inner walls penetrates into the turkey. Due to this, I can make juicy and crispy turkey, with the flavor staying intact.

For healthy cooking, I definitely prefer the Char Broil turkey fryer. Before placing the turkey inside, I coat the cooking basket and stainless steel cook chamber with olive or peanut oil. The cooking basket is capable of holding 16 pounds of turkey and for better results; I place it with breast side up. To find out if the turkey has been cooked or not, I use the meat thermometer which was sent to me in the sales package. Compared to the traditional deep fryer that I used previously, the Char broil fryer consumes very less time for preparation.

The Thanksgiving Turkey is something that is enjoyed by my entire family, which induces me to use the Infrared Turkey Fryer again and again. Since, my entire family loves meat; I cook even beef, pork and chicken.

The Infrared Turkey Fryer is completely safe to use, unlike the traditional deep fryers. There are fire hazards attached to the deep fryers and unattended ones can cause ignition.  Moreover, there is no oil splatter or spillage. For a healthy and safe cooking, Char Broil’s turkey fryer is the best option. With this product, there’s absolutely no messy clean up involved. The handles of the fryer are covered with spiral rings, which make transportation easy and safe.

However efficient a product functions, maintaining and using it in a proper way is what enables longer resilience. If any food particle gets accumulated in the cooking basket or chamber, I remove it using the HedgeHawg grill brush. Since the cooking basket is dishwasher friendly, cleaning it is simple. But I do not wash the pull-out grease tray in a dishwasher, since it has a painted finish.
