As Thanksgiving and Christmas falls upon us some of us will want to deep fry those turkeys.  Deep frying a turkey can be very dangerous.  The National Fire Protection Association discourages using a turkey fryer.  If you are set on frying a turkey, we encourage you to follow some of the following tips. 

1. Do not fry the turkey indoors.
2. Do not fill the fryer past the fill line.
3. Preheat oil in the fryer to 375 degrees
4. Place fryer on a flat surface and keep away from the house or garage/shed.
5. Ensure the turkey is fully defrosted and pat dry before cooking.
6. Keep the kids away from the fryer.
7. Don’t leave the fryer unattended.

With these tips you should have a successful fried turkey for the holidays.  SERVPRO of Marlboro/Tinton Falls wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
