FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why won’t my turkey fryer turn on?
The Control Panel features a “Safety Switch” that must be mounted properly on the mounting bracket of the
outer shell for unit to power on (see pg.3). Power light will illuminate when control panel is mounted correctly.
How much oil do I need to use?
Fryer will require approximately 2 gallons (8qts) of oil max. The MAX fill line is the maximum amount of liquid
that can safely be used in this unit. Filling to the line is more than enough water or oil to prepare most food in
this (see pg. 7). Oil may not cover top of turkey breast. It is not necessary to add more oil, the breast will cook
through completely during frying.
What type of oil should I use?
Peanut oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher smoke point but any common cooking oil may
be used.
How hot will the oil become?
Oil will reach 375°F (191 °C) in approximately 35 minutes. Oil temperature will decrease when turkey is placed in
fryer.
Should I keep the lid on during use?
Yes, the lid helps retain heat, and keeps splatter inside unit.
What size turkey can I deep fry in this unit?
A 10-12lb (4.5 - 5.4kgs) turkey is recommended. However, you can deep fry up to a 14 lb (6.35kgs) turkey in this
unit. DO NOT EXCEED 14 lbs (6.35kgs).
Can an extension cord be used with this unit?
No, extension cords will lose electric current resulting in increased cooking time and decreased performance.
Extension cords can also pose a trip hazard.
Does the turkey go in the basket breast side up or down?
Turkey and turkey breasts should be placed horizontal in basket, breast side up (see Fig. A on pg. 6).
I followed the formula and the turkey did not fully cook. What went wrong?
Cooking conditions may vary. Turkey could have been cold. Bring turkey to room temperature before frying.
Sometimes a cold or frozen spot in a joint or deep in the turkey breast does not allow that section to cook
properly. For best results wash with lukewarm water and pat dry inside and outside with paper towels before
injecting with marinade.
Can the Electric Turkey Fryer be used outdoors?
Outdoor use is not recommended for Masterbuilt’s Butterball Electric Turkey Fryer. If you do not want to use the
unit in your house please use in a garage or covered patio to prevent Electric Turkey Fryer from being exposed
to rain showers.
