WARNINGS
• Never block the vents on the rear of the
appliance. Be aware of the possibility of steam
emitting from vents.
• Do not use the appliance without oil or water in
the pot. The appliance will stop heating upon
reaching 248ºF (120ºC) with an empty pot.

dangerous. When oil is heated, water
droplets in the water become a volatile
steam that can cause oil to splatter, boil
over or erupt from the appliance. Hot oil can
cause severe burns.
• Make sure the appliance and all
components are completely dry after
cleaning and before frying.
• All foods placed into the appliance should
be thoroughly defrosted to 35ºF-40ºF

Your Crazy Good Turkey Fryer’s
patent-pending Twist & DrainTM
feature enables hands-free
draining of boiled, steamed and
fried foods.
Simply lift the basket of food from the cooking pot
using the lifting hook, rotate the basket 90 degrees
and rest the basket in the recessed areas of the
cooking pot.
No mess and no need to hold a heavy basket of
food while it drains. Excess water or oil will drain
back into the cooking pot.
NOTE: For best results, make sure the appliance has reached
the required cooking temperature before boiling or frying food.
Keep the lid on the pot while preheating AND while cooking to
reduce heating time and keep temperature consistent.
1. Fill your cooking pot to
the MAX fill line with
water.
2. Place the food to be
boiled into the basket and
place the basket into the
cooking pot to ensure that food is completely
submerged in water.
3. If some food is above the water level, reduce
the amount of food in the basket until it is below
the water level.
Do not add more water to cover the food. For
smaller amounts of food, you can boil with the
water level below the MAX fill line, providing that
the food is still completely submerged in water.
4. Once the proper water level is achieved,
remove the basket of food from the cooking pot,
place the lid on and start the appliance to begin
heating the water as indicated in the “Touch-
Screen Controls” section.
5. When water has achieved boiling temperature,
remove lid and slowly lower the basket of food
into the water using the provided lifting hook,
then replace the lid.
6. Boiling time will vary depending on the type
of food being boiled. Refer to food packaging
instructions for specific boiling times.
7. After boiling time has elapsed, remove the lid
and use the lifting hook to remove the basket of
food from the pot.
8. Utilize the Twist & DrainTM feature to allow
excess water to drain from the basket back into
the pot.
9. When finished, press the Pour button to be
alerted when the water is cool enough to be
safely poured from the pot, as described in the
“Touch-Screen Controls” section.

HOW TO STEAM HOW TO FRY
Steaming food in your appliance is very similar to
boiling . . . using much less water. When steaming,
you can place your basket of food into the pot
before starting the appliance to heat the water.
1. Place the basket, with
or without food, into the
cooking pot and fill the
pot with just enough
water to reach the bottom
of the basket.
2. With the water, basket and food in the cooking
pot, place the lid on and start the appliance
to begin heating the water as indicated in the
“Touch-Screen Controls” section.
Steaming will begin when the water reaches
boiling temperature.
3. Steaming time will vary depending on the type
of food being steamed. Refer to food packaging
instructions for specific steaming times.
4. Be sure to monitor the water level in the cooking
pot periodically, particularly during long periods
of steaming.
Do not allow the cooking pot to boil dry.
Add water if necessary to maintain proper
water level. If all water evaporates, you will
hear beeping for 60 seconds and then the
fryer will stop heating once it reaches 248ºF
(120ºC). Press the start/stop button to stop
the fryer from beeping. Add water and restart
to continue steaming.
5. After time has elapsed, remove the lid and use
the lifting hook to remove the basket of food
from the pot.
6. Utilize the Twist & DrainTM feature to allow
excess water to drain from the basket back into
the pot.
7. When finished, press the Pour button to be
alerted when the water is cool enough to be
safely poured from the pot, as described in the
“Touch-Screen Controls” section.
NOTE: For best results, make sure the appliance has reached
the required cooking temperature before boiling or frying
food. Keep the lid on the pot while preheating AND while
cooking to reduce heating time and keep temperature
consistent.
1. To determine the amount of oil required to fry
your food, place the basket of food into the
empty pot and add water to the pot until the
food is completely submerged.
2. Remove the basket of food and use the Twist
& DrainTM feature to allow excess water to
drain from the basket back into the pot.
3. The water level should never be above
the MAX fill line. If the water level is above
the MAX fill line once the basket of food is
removed, reduce the amount of food in the
basket until the water level will remain at or
below the MAX fill line.
4. Measure the amount of water in the pot. This
is the amount of oil required. Empty the water
from the cooking pot and thoroughly dry the
pot, basket and food before you begin frying.
5. Fill the cooking pot with the measured amount
of oil and place the lid on the pot. Never fry
with oil below the MIN fill line.
6. Start the appliance to begin heating the oil
as indicated in the “Touch-Screen Controls”
section.
7. When oil has achieved frying temperature,
remove lid and slowly lower the basket of food
into the oil using the provided lifting hook, then
replace the lid.
8. Frying time will vary depending on the type of
food being cooked. Refer to food packaging
instructions for specific frying times.
9. After boiling time has elapsed, remove the lid
and use the lifting hook to remove the basket
of food from the pot.
10. Utilize the Twist & DrainTM feature to allow
excess oil to drain from the basket back into
the pot.
11. When finished, press the Pour button to be
alerted when the water is cool enough to be
safely poured from the pot, as described in the
“Touch-Screen Controls” section.

Your LoCo Crazy Good
Turkey Fryer is intended for
a maximum turkey size of 20
pounds (9 kg).
Thoroughly defrost your
frozen turkey to 35ºF-40ºF (1.6ºC 4.4ºC). If you
prefer to thaw your turkey in your refrigerator, allow
approximately 24 hours for every 4 pounds (1.8
kg). That’s approximately 120 hours of refrigerated
thawing time for a 20 pound (9 kg) turkey.
Be sure to remove the neck and giblet bag from the
turkey’s inner cavity, as well as the turkey’s pop-up
cooking indicator and leg ties.
1. Thoroughly rinse your turkey with warm water or
soak it in warm water up to 30 minutes to make
sure there is no ice remaining in cavities.
2. Completely dry the outer surfaces and inside
cavities of the turkey with paper towels. Make
sure no ice remains inside.
3. Inject marinade into your turkey’s breast, wings,
thighs and legs, then add seasoning to the
inside and outside.
We recommend LoCo Cookers’ Creole
Seasoning Kit which includes Injectable
Marinade and Dry Rub. (Sold separately)
Follow packaging instructions to determine the
appropriate amount of seasoning.
PREPARE YOUR TURKEY FRY YOUR TURKEY!
Check once more for any remaining water or ice in
the turkey.
1. Make sure that your fryer is on a stable, level
and heat-resistant surface out of reach of
children.
2. Fill the cooking pot with oil to the MAX fill line.
Never fry with the oil level below the MIN fill
line.
We recommend LoCo Cookers’ Peanut Oil
Blend for it’s great flavor and high smoke
point. However, any cooking oil may be used.
3. Place the lid on the pot and start your fryer to
begin heating the oil as indicated in the “Touch-
Screen Controls” section.
4. While the oil is heating, calculate the cooking
time for your turkey.
• The recommended cooking time is 3.5-4
minutes per pound (0.45 kg).
• A 20-pound (9 kg) turkey should cook in
approximately 70-80 minutes.
5. Once your fryer has alerted you that it has
reached frying temperature, place your turkey
in the basket breast side up.
6. Remove the lid from the pot. Wear protective
gloves or mitts and very slowly lower the
basket into the pot using the lifting hook.
Replace the lid on the pot.
7. After cooking time has elapsed, remove the
basket from the cooking pot with the lifting
hook and use the Twist & DrainTM feature to
allow excess oil to drain back into the pot.
8. Use a meat thermometer to check the turkey
breast. The safe temperature is 165ºF-170ºF
(74ºC-77ºC). Additional frying time may be
required if the turkey has not yet reached the
safe internal temperature.
9. Press the Pour button to begin the oil cool-
down process as indicated in the “Touch-
Screen Controls” section.
10. Let your turkey rest in the basket for 10
minutes before carving and serving.
