Charbroil® The Big Easy® TRU-Infrared™ Cooking Technology Propane Gas Stainless Steel Oil-Less Turkey Fryer, Black - 17102065

I bought this for one sole purpose, to deep fried turkey at Thanksgiving. I hated the electric, oil deep fryer by Butterball ever since they came out with the new model. A slight touch to the electrical cord, the connector on the Butterball deep fryer would come off. I tossed that Butterball deep fryer and looked for another fryer. When I saw this oil less fryer and read the reviews on it, I bought it and used it last Thanksgiving. It was very easy to assemble and use. Hooked it up to a propane tank, turned it on and it's good to go. One thing that I noticed though is that the cooking time took considerably longer than what I expected or heard from other people. For a 14 lbs turkey, I think it took me something like 5 hours to deep fried and have internal temp reaching 185. Now that I know roughly how long it took to fully cooked a 14 lbs turkey, I can compensate for the time accordingly next time. The bright side is that the turkey came out superb. The skin was crispy, and the meat was juicy. Best part is that I don't have to spend the money on peanut oil to deep fried. Because there's no oil, it's healthier to deep fry in it.The basket that came with it can be a bit difficult to take the turkey out after cooking. I bought a collapsible basket that made it a bit easier to put the turkey in and remove after cooking, but I'm not wholly convinced if it was worth it. Neither basket is all that easy to clean by hand. I put them in the dish washer when I cleaned them, but I still scrubbed them down with a brillo pad first to remove as much of the stick on food.

I BOUGHT IT AND I LOVE IT. SO EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND IT WORKED JUST LIKE THEY SAID IT WOULD. COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER OIL LESS TURKEY FRYER. THE TURKEY WAS VERY JUICY AND IT WAS VERY GOOD. THANK YOU BIG EASY.

I took a gamble this year in cooking my Thanksgiving Turkey. I am always searching new ways to cook a turkey on this big cooking day allowing me to free up my oven for sides, you cooks know the drill. I thought about deep frying this year and started searching on Amazon for reviews. Then I saw it-this "Big Easy" Char-Broil no oil infrared cooker. I read all the reviews nothing but good to excellent comments. Well I ordered and in two days received this big silver Rolls Royce of a cooker and I am so happy I did. My turkey this year was the best in my 55 years of cooking. Moist, crispy skin, savory and best of all so clean and easy. And did I say delicious! This would make a great gift for someone-because you can cook much more than a Turkey and it is good to have if the power goes down, you can still cook.

This takes a little longer than oil frying, but it's so easy. Just put the bird in and walk away. When your timer says it should be done, come back and check it with the meat thermometer. No oil to buy, no sitting and watching to keep everything at the right temp, no worrying about the oil boiling over or catching fire. Too easy.

Amazing , well cooked , delicious turkey ! We tied oil frying the last few times and the mess was too much . This makes the best turkey and frees - up the oven for the sides . Can’t wait to try other meat and poultry dishes

Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-less Liquid Propane Turkey FryerThis air fryer is a good deal at 99, but there are some things you should keep in mind: (first and only attempt was with an ~18 lbs turkey.- if you're in a windy place you will probably need to keep the gas on highest setting - I set the flame to mid level after 1 hour and the flame went out. did not know until 30 min later.- untuck the turkey legs and make sure the cavity is open, or you will have a raw bottom (pun intended). Like the booklet recommends cook stuffing separate. I didn't untuck the buttr bll turkey legs and the turkey didn't cook on the bottom, also the wings were raw too. I used a thermometer and it read 200F, but I cut into the wing joint and it was pink meat. Juices coming from the breast were clear. I believe the cavity needs to be open so the hot air can circulate inside the turkey for best results. Despite having to cook the turkey for an hour longer the turkey was still moist. (total time about 4 hours including the half hour where the flame was probably out)- You probably want to have some sort of tray to put the turkey on and some mitts ( I burnt my fingers being stupid )- There is a juice collector on the bottom that you could probably use for gravy.I want to try another bird, or a roast!I recommend this product over oven cooking and oil cooking.

This is the easiest to use turkey cooker we’ve ever had. We were skeptical, since no lid is needed, that the turkey would cook evenly and thoroughly but we were pleasantly surprised and impressed!! We followed the instructions to “season” the cooker before we cooked our bird and it performed perfectly. Clean up was easy since you just burn it off and dump out the ashes. Also the aluminum drip pan liner makes cleaning that part easy, I just wiped the grease out then washed the pan to reuse but you can also just throw it away. The ignitor worked the first time each time we fired it up. So far it’s been durable. I would definitely keep it away from walls and watch children and pets around it since it gets hot and a lid is not necessary. This information is in the manual and grilling recommendations that are included. Overall we feel it’s an excellent product performance wise and a good value for your money.

This is a great product!I used it today and I absolutely love it!Now the oil purchase($), transport home, load the fryer, manage hot oil (ugh), and dispose or store used oil job is over forever.Never again for me.And the food outcome is totally and wonderfully unreal. And without eating any oil…Love it!Never going back.🙂
