you've seen french fries being dropped into oil?
Imagine a 16 to 18 pound chunk of meat being dropped into oil at double the temp!
even if it is thawed, you'll get a little flare up.
gloves

no shorts and no sandals are a must!

I usually do 5 or 6 a year and see a lot of news stories about fried turkey mishaps.
on the other hand, those fryers can be used for so many things, I'd be lost without one
I've cooked;
crab
lobster
stew
