No one disputes the delicious flavor of a
deep-fried turkey, but stories of house fires and near misses can
discourage even the biggest fried turkey fan. Enter the Masterbuilt
Butterball indoor turkey fryer, an electric fryer that's so safe it's
certified to operate indoors, on your kitchen countertop, any time of
year. The Butterball features a one-of-a-kind design that's engineered
to keep you safe. Not only do the stainless-steel fryer and
porcelain-coated inner pot keep oil safely contained, but it also uses
33 percent less oil than conventional fryers. As a result, you can cook
turkeys as large as 14 pounds safely and efficiently, with little threat
of oil boiling over the sides.
Powerful and Attractive
The
stainless-steel fryer looks great in a modern kitchen, as it
complements most kitchen appliances and countertop materials. Chefs
might even want to leave it on display when it's not in use. For
convenience, the Butterball includes a window for turkey monitoring.
Simply fold back the lid for easy access and you can watch your turkey
cook to a perfect crisp.
The good looks accompany a powerful
1,650-watt electric heating element that heats up the oil in less than
30 minutes. Using the sturdy turkey basket, you can cook a 14-pound
turkey in only four minutes per pound--less than an hour of cooking
time. Masterbuilt also added a drain clip to the fry basket. With the
drain clip, you can hang the basket on the side of the fryer while the
turkey drains and cools. The clip makes it easy to move the turkey to a
serving platter without making a huge oily mess.
No Ordinary Turkey Fryer
Operating
the Butterball couldn't be easier. Simply set the cooking temperature
via the user-friendly control panel, then set the built-in digital timer
to track the cooking time. A green ready light will come on when the
oil is heated and the fryer is ready for use. After you lower the turkey
into the oil, the timer will beep to let you know when it's done. The
fryer even includes a couple of extra safety controls, including a
thermostat control to keep the temperature steady (up to 375 degrees F)
and an automatic shutoff function that activates when the cooking
temperature gets too high.
The Butterball isn't just for
turkeys. You can prepare an endless variety of foods in the fryer--from
hot wings and fried fish to corndogs and fries for the kids. You can
also fill the fryer with water to steam or even boil your favorite dish.
Other options include inviting the whole family over for a large
low-country boil, steaming fresh crab legs for two, or even trying your
hand at frying desserts like doughnuts, apple turnovers, and fried ice
cream.
Additional turkey fryer highlights include a built-in
filter to reduce cooking odors, a drain valve for easy cleaning, a
hideaway storage compartment, and a space-saving design that takes up
minimal space on the counter. The fryer measures 15.7 by 14.2 by 14.6
inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day limited warranty.
The stainless-steel fryer is one of three fryers in the Butterball indoor fryer series. Also available are a black-finished fryer with the same capacity as the stainless model and an extra-large fryer
that handles turkeys up to 20 pounds.
Editor’s note: The power cord on this model has a hideaway storage compartment that can be tricky to find.
