Deep Fryer Dangers
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.
