The United States Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) reported that since 2002, there have been more than 157 turkey fryer-related incidents. These include fires, burns, and explosions or carbon dioxide poisoning.[1]<\/a>\u00a0Among the 68 listed injuries, none have been fatal;[2]<\/a> however, this should not take away from how dangerous conventional turkey fryers can be.<\/p>\n

In 2007, a seven year old was badly burned when he stepped on a rubber hose connecting a turkey fryer to a propane tank, causing the pot to fall over and heated oil to pour onto his back.[3]<\/a>\u00a0In another incident, a mother and her teenage daughter were injured when someone emptied hot cooking oil from a fryer into a storm drain while someone else poured water from a garden hose down that same drain.[4]<\/a>\u00a0The resulting steam cloud badly burned the two.[5]<\/a><\/p>\n

Even famous actor William Shatner has experienced his fair share of turkey-fryer-related accidents.\u00a0Click here<\/a> to see his safety video where he explains what happened to him, and how you can keep safe yourself.<\/p>\n

5 Steps to Be Safer When Frying Your Own Turkey<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Turkeys must be completely<\/em> thawed before placing in the fryer.\u00a0A partially thawed turkey will cause the oil to splatter causing serious burns.[6]<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Be careful when placing the turkey into the fryer and removing it. Fryers are often quite unstable, and can easily tip over spilling as much as five gallons of hot oil.[7]<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Use extreme caution! The side of the cooking pot, lid, and handles gets dangerously hot.[8]<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Cook outdoors at a safe distance from any buildings or trees. Keep the fryer off any wooden structures, such as a deck or patio.[9]<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Do not use ice or water to cool down oil or extinguish an oil fire. Keep an extinguisher approved for cooking or grease fire nearby.[10]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) cautions against using traditional turkey fryers in the first place.\u00a0The NFPA recommends using an \u201coil-less\u201d fryer or purchasing an already fried turkey from a restaurant or grocery store.\u00a0For more information on oil-less fryers, click here.\u00a0For information on where to purchase a fried turkey in Richmond, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
