Rated 5 out of 5Â by slogramp Dry turkey cooker
I have cooked turkeys in oil for years and it is a pain and a lot of trouble. Plus can be very bad working with hot oil. I cooked two over the Fourth and all got Raves from people I had cooked for before. I ended up giving my oil cooker away because I already have a fish cooker.
You will sell another to my nephew as he always has to have what I have!

My first cooking on this fryer turned out wonderful-however the wood chip tray never got hot enough to do any smoking. I did a 12 pound turkey, used my own injection recipe, and it all would up in nothing but a pile of bones, dispite the lack of smoke. I think I will stick to my smoker-wood fired-to do my smoking!

I just used my fryer today when it was 15 degrees outside. The turkey came out great. Nice crisp skin and very juicey. Cooked 14 pounder and took 2hr and 20min. Just like they say, 10min per lb. Can't wait to use it again.

I was a little skeptical at first about an electric oil free turkey fryer. I have been frying turkeys the conventional way for years so I really didn't want to deviate from what I knew worked. I had been hearing the commercials for this fryer on my local radio station so I took the plunge when my local Bass Pro Shops had it on sale Thanksgiving day. Assembly was a breeze. I prepared the turkey in my usual way, Tony Cachere's creole butter injector with a cajun rub. I rubbed the whole turkey in olive oil prior to the cajun rub to help give it a "tan" while cooking. After cooking for a while I took it inside and wrapped it in aluminum foil for 15 minutes to finish the job. The bird was moist and possibly the best thanksgiving day turkeys ever. I would highly recommend this oil free fryer to any one that wants that fried taste while maintaining a healthy diet. Plus there is no propane to worry about and no hot oil to spill (or to buy as both of those items can get pricey).
I look forward to trying it out on more foods to come.

Want to make a traditional Thanksgiving turkey. Can you make gravy from the drippings on this unit?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
I haven't tried it, but the drip pan catches everything you need to make a flavorful gravy.
A:Â
The product brochure says that you can. I've only used mine once (chicken), and the drippings looked like it would be very good for gravy.
A:Â
We do not see any problem with using the drippings for gravy. It would really be trial and error as we/masterbuilt does not have a gravy recipes.Thanks
Details:Â
so many of these answers vary on time to cook ...in my propane oil fryer i cook 3-1/2 min. per lb. at 350 is this realistic for oiless or is a longer time neededAnswers
A:Â
The oil-less fryer isn't anywhere near that. The cooking times seem to be comparable to cooking in an oven. It's really just an electric oven. You may also have trouble getting any oil-less fryer up to a high temp if you are in cold weather. One big benefit to this is that it smokes too.
A:Â
CALCULATE COOKING TIME for TURKEY:The formula for calculating turkey cooking time is 10 minutes per pound (0.45kg) or until a food thermometer reads a temperature of 165°F-170°F (74°C-77°C) 2 inches (5.08cm) into the deepest part of the turkey breast.

The smoking ability is pretty good. I haven't used a traditional smoker to compare it to, but it gets pretty smokey and the wood box is placed in a perfect location.
A:Â
It is not necessarily the greatest smoker compared to traditional smokers but it appears to pass on good smoke towards the meat. ThanksAnswers
A:Â
I actually haven't cooked a turkey yet. Couple more days. I have cooked and smoked a chuck roast and now a pile of chicken breasts.A:Â
We cooked a small chicken and it worked great. It comes with receipes to cook other things ie fish, roast, and turkey breast. You can also cook your veggies in itA:Â
i have cooked roast and ribs . a lot of chicken. i love the smoker box on low heat cook all day . wowDetails:Â
I cooked a seven pound oven stuffer roaster chicken in the oil free turkey fryer. It only took about 75 minutes. The meat was very moist, but the skin was soggy. I had dried the bird, rubbed it lightly with olive oil, and seasoned the skin. Any suggestions?Answers
A:Â
Olive oil preserves moisture. Olive oil is the reason the skin was soggy. Use any other kind of oil.A:Â
I think it may have been that you used olive oil. I used peanut oil and it was perfect.A:Â
I think the olive oil messed you up. Olive oil softens instead of hardens.A:Â
I didnt put any oil onthe skin, just my rub, and mine was crispy.A:Â
MABEY YOU DID NOT COOK IT OWN THE HIGHEST SETTING.A:Â
i used a bit of bacon grease after it sat out for a couple hours, kind of a buttery state. brushed it on (lightly) as cooked as normal in fryer. i also turned heat up a bit too. hope it helpsA:Â
Perhaps you needed to cook it at a "hotter" temp. Our turkey and chickens have come out with crispy, yummy skin;maybe it should have been left in for an extra fifteen minutes.Answers
A:Â
no, it has to be used outdoorsA:Â
Manual says use outdoors. I use wood in the tray yo give the turkey a smoked taste. Don" think you would want the smoke indoors.A:Â
No, This is an outdoor cooking product.A:Â
Do not use this fryer indoors. Treat as you would a deep fryer, run it outdoors, some place where you have access to electricity, hopefully with a GFI plug.A:Â
yes, but there is a drip pan on the bottom and you would not want it to overflowA:Â
yes, when not being used, it is just another electrical appliance.A:Â
Never tried, but does not seem to smoke much. Would recommend using in a garage as it is too big too put under a range hood.Thanks, slogramp.

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLYAnswers
A:Â
I don't see any way you would be able to. It would be basically like putting them in a pile in a conventional oven.A:Â
Probably not, It's really designed for cooking large peices of meatDetails:Â
Like crawfish, crabs, or lobsters?Answers
A:Â
No. It's basically a big basket over a heating element. You can't fill it with water.A:Â
No, it does not hold any liquid stuff.A:Â
Theres a drain hole in the bottom, so I dont see how you could boil anything.A:Â
no water wont work. the holes in it dont help water retension!!A:Â
No, it is electric. The basket also has holes in it for drainage.A:Â
No, this is an open basket that drains out the bottom in a small pan.thanks, slogramp
Top 100 Contributor
A:Â
Because the Oil-Free Turkey Fryer has holes at the bottom, it wouldn't be wise to put water in it. Have you looked at the Butterball Electric Turkey Fryer 38-614-984-98? You would be able to fry, steam, or boil.Details:Â
I am curious, I have used the the Propane version! How does the taste and cooking time compare?If I remember right the cooking time with a large turkey with propane was about 3 minutes per pound!
LeRoy
Answers
A:Â
The turkey was golden brown and very moist. It took about 2.5 hours for a 15 lb. turkey. I have a propane version too and would trade it in a heart beat!A:Â
It took a little longer than the prescribed 10 minutes per pound. I bought the electric version so I didn't have to worry about having enough propane.A:Â
Better taste and much healthier due to no oil content. Cooking time ranges from 8 - 10 minutes.A:Â
2 min. per pound and it is just as good as deep frying. Just use the marinade like alwaysA:Â
My timing with a propane was about the same about 3-4 minutes per pound. My timing with the electris dry cooker was 1o minutes per pound 0n the 2 about 14# ones I cooked.Thanks, slogramp
A:Â
I bought this Thanksgiving morning and used it that afternoon. It was great and well worth the money. I have been frying turkeys before it was popular and this made a juicier and tastier bird than my old peanut oil fryer. It cooks in about the same time as a conventional fryer. My old fryer would usually do the job in 7 minutes per pound and this one does it in 10 minutes per pound. I would highly recommend it.Details:Â
How does it come out? How long does it really take to cook a turkey? How is the taste?Answers
A:Â
The electric one turned out a great turkey but it did take a little longer to cook than the prescribed 10 minutes per pound. Nice and juicy though no crispy skin.A:Â
Yes, It was wonderful! Very tasty, Crispy skin, and very easy to use. My family thought it was the best turkey they had ever had. Only 10 minutes per pound.Set it and forget it until time is up.
A:Â
my family and i have used it a lot. you can cook all kinds of stuff in this thing. we love the taste and texture that it makes.A:Â
It comes out great, very moist on the inside but darkened and crispy on the outside. It took about 2 hours for a 14 pound turkey on high, but I think I would do it on medium high next time. It did not hurt the taste at all, it was just done before everything else was.A:Â
See last for timing but everyone here said it had less oil and was just as moist inside.Thanks, slogramp.
A:Â
I used mine today with it being about15 degrees outside. The turkey came out great. The skin was nice and crisp and the inside was very juicy. I had a 14lb turkey and it took 2hr and 20min. Just like they said, 10min per lb. Can't wait to use it again.
