Dangers Of Frying A Turkey

11/15/2018 (Permalink)

-Turkey fryers can easily tip over, spilling hot cooking oil over a large area.

—An overfilled cooking pot will cause cooking oil to spill over when the turkey is put in, and a partially frozen turkey will cause cooking oil to splatter when putting in the pot. 

-Even a small amount of cooking oil spilling on a hot burner can cause a large fire. 

-Without thermostat controls, deep fryers can overheat oil to the point of starting a fire. 

-The sides of a cooking pot, lid, and pot handles can get dangerously hot. 

SERVPRO of Frankfort wishes you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe, and if you are deep frying a turkey this holiday season please be safe and use caution. Keep the fryer away from your home, garage, and even porch.
