00:06.690 --> 00:08.912
frying turkey during the holidays . Set

00:08.912 --> 00:10.746

00:23.399 --> 00:25.455
Do not overfill the fryer with oil .

oil begins to smoke , turn the fryer

00:30.972 --> 00:33.799
off . Lower the turkey slowly and

00:33.799 --> 00:36.021
carefully to prevent oil from splashing
