Thinking about
what to prepare for your holiday feast? If your menu plans include deep
frying a turkey, there’s important safety information to keep in mind. |
According to the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA), Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires. Keep your festivities
from going up in flames; only use turkey fryers outdoors.
USFA wants to remind you
of the dangers that exist when deep frying a
turkey, including:
·
Turkey
fryers can easily tip over, spilling hot cooking oil over a large area;
·
A partially
frozen turkey will cause cooking oil to splatter when put in the pot;
·
Even a
small amount of cooking oil spilling on a hot burner can cause a large fire;
and
·
The sides
of the cooking pot, lid, and pot handles can get dangerously hot.
