COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Effective Date November, 2002
The Superb Turkey Fryer is the affordable choice for frying hole
turkeys and chickens. The narro diameter requires less oil than a stan-
dard stockpot. The raised rack allo s the oil to circulate and keeps the
turkey off the bottom to prevent burning. This fryer can also be used as
a regular stockpot for all types of cooking.
It is recommended that you "season" the pot before use. Pour a small
amount of vegetable oil in the pot and spread it around ith a paper to el
until the entire bottom and sides are coated and let stand for 10 minutes.
Wash out the interior and it is ready for use.

this unit. This unit is designed for use on outdoor gas cookers. Superb
recommends the Pronto Flame Cooker, Model Number HP-100. Be sure

er and propane tank.

*Must be used to maintain proper oil temperature.
Ingredients:
• Turkey, up to 16 pounds
• Peanut Oil or Cottonseed Oil:
For a 10-12 pound turkey use 1 1/2 - 2 gallons

ith ater until turkey is covered. The amount of ater used corresponds
to the amount of oil needed.
Preparation:
• Make sure the the turkey is completely tha ed and be careful ith
marinades. Oil and ater don't mix, and ater causes oil to spill over,
causing a fire or even an explosion hazard. A partially frozen turkey
placed into the fryer can cause intense bubbling, forcing the oil to over-
flo . Clean and dry turkey inside and out; removing giblets and neck
and trimming a ay all excess fat. Make sure opening around the neck
is clear.
• The National Turkey Federation recommends refrigerator tha ing and
to allo approximately 24 hours for every five pounds of bird tha ed
in the refrigerator.

soning in micro ave-safe container. Heat in micro ave, then inject
