frying

I went to a post-Thanksgiving potluck tonight. The host fried a 10-lb turkey. This time I witnessed the play by play.




it takes roughly 3 mins/pound to fry a turkey


it took over 3 gallons of peanut oil


you must sloooooowly lower the turkey into the oil so the water can evaporate. otherwise, it may boil over. it sounded like a pellet gun was going off in the frier


voila!


we had other food too, like this prime rib


and lots of desserts
