Over the years, deep frying your turkey has become a popular trend, but has led to some dangerous situations. To avoid these issues the FDNY suggest that if you use a fryer:
- Make sure to use the fryer outdoors and use the fryer a safe distance from flammable materials and other buildings.
- Do not use turkey fryers in a garage.
- Never let children near the fryer, even when it’s not in use.
- Never leave the fryer unattended.
- Do not overfill the fryer.
- Use safety goggles to protect your eyes and always use pot holders or oven mitts when handling the fryer.
- Make sure the turkey is completely thawed.
- Keep a fire extinguisher near the fryer. Do NOT use water to put out a grease fire.
