OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING  
Read, understand and follow all warnings and instructions contained in this manual. DO NOT skip  
any of the warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.  
Never leave heating oil unattended - it can ignite.  
Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Oil ignites at varying temperatures;  
therefore, never allow the oil to exceed 400˚F and NEVER LEAVE HEATING OIL UNATTENDED.  
Never allow oil to reach "Fire Hazard" zone on the thermometer.  
Never exceed maximum fill line on cooking vessel.  
Make sure fryer is at least 10 ft from all combustible materials including overhangs.  
Aluminum pots will melt if placed over burner empty.  
It will take approximately 20-30 minutes to preheat your oil. Never leave oil unattended during  
preheating or cooking process as it can ignite and hot oil is extremely hazardous and should be  
monitored at all times.  
Use extreme care when lowering or removing food from hot oil or liquid.  
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER AMOUNT OF OIL  
(For Use With Cooking Vessels That Do Not Have Maximum Fill Line)  
1. Place the food product on or in the holder. (turkey stand or strainer basket)  
2. Place the food product and holder into the empty vessel.  
3. Fill the vessel with water just until the food product is completely submerged. (Bird elbows need not be  
covered. There must be a minimum of 3 inches between the water level and top of the vessel.)  
4. Remove the food product from the vessel and either mark the level on the side of the vessel or  
measure the amount of water in the vessel.  
5. Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product.  
6. This is the amount of cooking oil the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product.  
DEEP FRIED WHOLE TURKEY USING BOILING POT WITH TURKEY STAND AND  
HANGER OR BASKET  
NOTE: When deep frying a whole turkey, select a turkey in the 10 to 18 lb. range and thaw completely. (if  
using a 36 quart pot, do not exceed 22 lb. turkey.  
Step 1:  
Determine the amount of oil required by following instructions above. If pot has a spigot, make sure spigot  
is tightly closed and safety cap is secure.  
WARNING: Fryer thermometer should not be inserted into food or touching food when measuring  
temperature of cooking oil. End of thermometer should be below oil level.  
11

Step 2:  
Place pot with oil on fryer. Make sure thermometer is clipped to side of pot. Do not use lid when heating  
or cooking with oil. Bring liquid to the desired cooking temperature (325°-350°F for frying) approximately  
20-30 minutes. Never leave heating oil unattended. It can ignite. Carefully monitor temperature and never  
allow oil to reach Fire Hazardzone on thermometer.  
Step 3:  
Pat the turkey dry and sprinkle Brinkmann Fried Turkey RubN Spice or other seasoning between skin and  
meat of the turkey.  
Step 4:  
Place seasoned turkey with the neck cavity pointing up on Turkey Stand or place turkey in basket.  
Wearing protective gloves and clothing, use the Hanger to slowly lower stand or basket into hot oil. It is  
important to maintain a temperature between 325°(150˚C) and 350°F (175˚). Regulate the flame with  
regulator control knob as needed. Do not let oil overheat as a fire may result.  
Step 5:  
Estimate cooking time by the formula of 31/2 minutes of frying time per pound of turkey (example: a 10 lb.  
turkey should cook approximately thirty-five minutes). Check doneness with a meat thermometer after  
removing turkey from hot oil. Use caution as food will be very hot.  
Step 6:  
When food is done, turn fryer OFF. Always turn propane cylinder valve OFF first, then turn the regulator  
control knob OFF. Allow fryer and oil to cool completely. Never attempt to drain oil or move pot until oil  
has cooled below 115˚F (45˚C) - Severe burns could result.
