Department For Public Health Promotes Care While Frying Turkey
Frying a turkey can be a fun and tasty alternative to the traditional baked and roasted dishes of the holidays. As many start to plan menus, the Department for Public Health (DPH) wants to remind Kentuckians that fryers also can be dangerous — even causing fires or burns — when not handled with care.
DPH suggests you take time to review basic guidelines so you don’t sacrifice safety for good taste. The first thing you should do is read and follow the manufacturer's instructions and become familiar with your turkey fryer.
The majority of reported incidents occur while the oil is being heated. For this reason, it is very important consumers monitor the temperature of the oil closely.
