Assembly Instructions

Step 1

Attach digital control panel and element to outer shell mounting bracket by sliding controller rails down into rail channels on bracket mounted on outer pot. Controller must be correctly attached for appliance to operate. A built in safety switch on the control panel will prevent this unit from heating if not mounted properly prior to turning on electric current to this product.

Step 2Place aluminum fryer basket inside metal inner pot.

Step 3Place glass lid on last after assembly of all other parts. Align the notch on the lid with the metal heating element coils.

Note: Glass lid may not fit tightly when basket is in use during cooking process.

Step 4Connect the power cord to the connector hanging from under the control panel.

Drain Valve Operation

  • The drain valve, located near the bottom rim of the inner pot, allows you to safely and easily drain water/oil from the pot.
  • BE SURE THAT ANY LIQUID INSIDE OF THE POT IS BELOW 100°F BEFORE DRAINING.
  • Liquid should be drained into a sturdy container before disposal. Rotate the drain spout out away from the pot.

  • Place your desired container directly under the drain valve nozzle; be sure that both the container and the fryer are secure and not easily tilted or moved.
  • Remove the black cap from the end of the spout.
  • Turn the black knob on top of the drain valve spout 90° or until a steady stream of liquid isflowing from the spout into the container.
  • Close the valve by turning the knob to its original position once all of the liquid hasdrained.

  • Some frying oils can be reused within a few days; many people find the drain valve a useful mechanism to direct their frying oil back into its original container to be used at a later date.

Quick Drain System

  • Locate the two hooks on the inside of the pot close to the upper rim of the inner pot; these are the Quick Drain Hooks.

  • Two oval shaped holes can be found on the basket: One is labeled “turkey” and the other is labeled “seafood”.
  • The basket is designed to hang from the hooks by slotting the Quick Drain Hooks through either one of the two oval shaped holes in the basket.

  • When cooking time has elapsed, excess liquid can be drained from the food still in the basket. While wearing protective gloves, use the included metal lifting hook to lift the basket by hooking it onto the basket lifting bail. Carefully lift the basket out and hang it on the Quick Drain Hooks by inserting the hooks into either the “turkey” slot or the “seafood” slot, depending on the type of food being cooked.
  • Allow the food to drain for at least a few minutes or until the excess liquid has fallen back into the pot. NEVER remove basket from fryer pot without first allowing the food to drain.
  • The Quick Drain System can also be used to steam food. Place about 6 inches of water at the bottom of the pot, hang the basket with the food to be steamed from the Quick Drain Hook labeled “Seafood,” and cover with lid. Cooking times will vary depending on the type of food being steamed.

Starter TipsFor best results, read the following Starter tips before using this product.

  • Please keep in mind, this is an electric fryer. It has different heating characteristics than a gas fryer.
  • For safety: the heating element will only heat when it is properly attached to the mounting bracket (see assembly instructions). This is a powerful heating element and may cause household circuit breaker to trip. Operating any additional appliances on a separate circuit should minimize such occurrences. Tripping of the circuit breaker will not damage either the unit or any household electrical systems.
  • Pre-heating oil or water may take thirty minutes or more depending on initial oil temperature and ambient conditions. Take advantage of this time to prepare foods for cooking. For best results, completely pre-heat unit to cooking temperature before frying or boiling foods.
  • Reduce heating time and keep temperature more consistent by keeping the lid on the pot during the pre-heating and cooking processes.
  • For cooking a turkey, when the desired temperature is attained and the turkey is placed in the oil, the temperature of the oil will naturally be reduced because of the lower temperature of the turkey. The LCD readout will display the temperature throughout this process. Temperature is displayed when the turkey is placed in oil and while the oil returns to desired cooking temperature.
  • “Recovery time” is the amount of time required to bring the oil back to frying temperature once the items being boiled or fried are immersed in the liquid medium. This time can be best controlled by bringing foods to ambient temperature and limiting the amount of foods placed in the fryer basket for immersion at any one time. With larger pieces such as a 14-pound turkey, we recommend allowing oil to reach 375°F to 400°F prior to immersing the bird.
  • When the desired heating temperature for cooking is attained, the heating element will automatically turn off. When the temperature drops 5°F below the setpoint, the heating element will automatically turn on again until the desired cooking temperature is reached. This automatic process will repeat and display on the LCD, as “Heating” or “Ready”.
  • To illuminate the Backlighting of the LCD display, press the “UP” arrow or the“DOWN” arrow.
  • The red power light illuminates only to indicate that the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. This product will not start heating until the “START” button is pushed.
  • The timer on this product is completely separate from and does not control the heating element. The Heating Element will not turn off automatically when the timer beeps. The temperature controller must be manually turned off.
  • If the LCD readout reads “ERR,” no buttons will function except On/Off. Turn the unit off immediately, wait 15 minutes and then turn fryer back on.

Operating Instructions

Step 1

Mount control panel with heating element into bracket on outer shell of the unit.

Step 2

Plug power cord into an outlet (refer to “User Precautions and Important Safety Tips” section of manual). Power light will illuminate indicating the unit is plugged in, and the heating element is mounted correctly; and controller on unit is ready to be activated.

Step 3

Note: The Temperature Controller must be set prior to setting the timerfunction.

To set temperature:

  • Press ON button.
  • Press TEMP MODE button once; the LCD display will blink.
  • Use UP and DOWN arrow buttons to set temperature.
  • Press START button, this will turn the heating element ON.

To set timer:

  • Press TIME MODE button once; LCD display will blink.
  • Use UP and DOWN buttons to set TIME in MINUTES.
  • Maximum Time is 90 minutes.
  • Timer will automatically start after you have selected Time.

Step 4

When cooking time has elapsed and food is done, press and hold ON/OFF button to turn off heating element and unplug power cord.

When lifting food out of cooking liquid, allow excess oil or water to drain from the fryer basket by hooking the basket on side of pot. Remove the drained basket shortly thereafter.

When using the quick drain system, make sure that the basket is firmly in place on Quick Drain Clips before releasing handle so basket will not fall back into hot oil or water causing injury.

Do not use appliance without water or oil in pot. It can be severely damaged and dangerous to the user if heated while empty.

Always place unit on a level, very stable surface to prevent tipping over.

Do not mix different types of oil at the same time. Purchase a commercial blended oil if so desired. Never melt or use shortening, solid fats or lard in this appliance.

RESET FUNCTIONThis device uses a safety feature that will automatically shut off the appliance if it overheats.

  • To reset, remove plug from outlet.
  • Insert a small sharp object into the small hole on back of the control panel.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Bruce Foods recommends cleaning unit before every use.
  • Clean lid, pot, and basket with a moist sponge or rag using a mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. These parts are dishwasher safe.
  • Clean outer shell, cord, control panel and element with a moist sponge or rag using a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. DO NOT put these parts in a dishwasher.
  • Do not submerge or run water over control panel or cord while unit is plugged in; doing so may cause electrocution.

PRESERVATION & STORAGE

  • Disconnect electric cord from outlet prior to cleaning, servicing, and/or removing heating element. Electric shock may cause personal injury or death.
  • Turn appliance off, unplug and let cool for 2 hours if using water, 5 hours if using oil before cleaning or storing.
  • Never pour used oil in sink; instead, drain it back into a sturdy oil container.

HOW TO STEAM USING APPLIANCE

Add water until it reaches bottom of the basket. Do not allow water to evaporate. This will cause the element to overheat and can damage the unit.

QUESTIONSWhy can’t I turn my turkey fryer on?The Control Panel includes a “Safety Switch” positioned in the mounting rails. The rails must be aligned and seated in the bracket on the back side of the outer pot correctly for element to power on.How much oil do I need to use?Frying with this appliance will require approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7L) to 2 gallons (7.6L) of oil. The fill line marks the maximum amount of liquid that the appliance can safely contain. The max fill line provides for ample liquid to cook any meal in this appliance.What type of oil should I use?Cottonseed oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher smoke point, but any common cooking oil may be used.How hot will the oil become?After about 55 minutes, oil will typically reach 400°F (204°C). This time is dependent on starting temperature of the oil and ambient conditions. When turkey is placed in fryer, oil temperature will drop to around 275°F (135°C); this is a suitable temperature for frying a turkey. As turkey is cooking, temperature will slowly recover but may not reach original setpoint before cooking time is reached. This is normal.Should the lid stay on during use?Yes, the lid helps to retain heat and keeps splashes inside the unit.What size turkey can I deep fry in this appliance?Any turkey up to 16lbs. (7.26kgs) can be fried in this unit.Can I use an extension cord with this appliance?No, an extension cord will weaken electrical current which will increase cooking time and lessen performance. The risk of tripping or knocking over this unit is increased with the use of extension cords.Which way should the turkey face when frying?Turkey and turkey breasts should be placed as close to horizontal in the basket with the breast side facing up as possible.I followed the instructions and the turkey wasn’t fully cooked. What went wrong?Cooking conditions may vary; the turkey may have been excessively cold. Always bring the turkey to room temperature before frying and make sure it is completely thawed out. Occasionally, a cold spot in a joint or deep in the turkey breast does not allow that section to cook properly.Can the Electric Turkey Fryer be used outdoors?Yes but if you do not want to use this appliance in your house, use in a garage or covered patio to prevent the Electric Turkey Fryer from being exposed to precipitation.

Troubleshooting Guide

If symptom is not listed, please contact Bruce Foods Corporation at 1-800-987-6474

Do not place frozen poultry in oil. Use extreme caution when cooking frozen foods. Do not fill oil past fill line or exceed maximum amount of food in basket. Spillover can cause serious injury. Slowly lower basket into hot oil and cover with lid. Always wear protective gloves or mitts. Always pat dry moisture off the food pieces prior to frying. When using the quick drain system, make sure that basket is firmly in place on rim of pot before releasing handle so basket will not fall back into hot oil or water.

Techniques for Successful Preparation of Fried Foods at Homes

Often when someone mentions frying foods at home, they are greeted with a chorus of negative comments ranging from messy, greasy, and dangerous to unhealthy. Utilizing the proper equipment and learning the correct methods and procedures, frying can overcome virtually all of these comments. No doubt, breading or battering foods and frying “in oil,” does add caloric content to foods. But, a sensible respect for portion sizes consumed and utilization of non-hydrogenated oil with zero trans fats greatly reduces the concern of “unhealthy” often expressed. Education in the proper procedures and techniques that should be employed when frying, greatly reduces the amount of oil absorbed by fried foods.

Frying Techniques and Temperature Control of the Cooking Oil

All forms of frying involve the cooking of food in oils or fats. Frying techniques vary depending on the frying vessel utilized (such as a wok utilized in stir-frying, a frying pan, or a deep fat fryer); the amount of fats or oils required (from sautéing or stir frying to pan frying to deep fat frying); cooking temperature; and preparation methods employed with foods for frying. For the purposes of this pamphlet, we’ll concentrate on pan frying, deep fat frying, and mention a baking misnomer, oven frying, which is actually a form of baking.

Frying is classified as a form of dry-heat cooking since water is not utilized to transfer heat to the food being cooked. Instead, the heat in the oil is transferred to the water in the food so that the moisture in the food turns to steam to cook the food from the inside out. Whatever form of frying employed balances the realities of time, temperature, and the surface area of food in contact with the oil, plus the food’s structure and moisture. Often this means assuring that the food is fully cooked in the interior before being burned on the exterior. As an example experts recommend pan-frying nothing thicker than 1-inch as the exterior is likely to burn before the inside is fully cooked.

Maintaining proper oil temperature is crucial to all forms of fried foods. Recommended nominal oil temperature ranges from 350°F – 375°F. And virtually all frying tips seek to assist you in maintaining correct oil temperature. Hot oil causes the food’s internal moisture to turn into steam that keeps the oil out while the hot oil also keeps the moisture in (especially when a batter or breading barrier is used around the surface area of the food forming a crunchy, brown crust). If the oil is too hot, the steam reduces the moisture content and overcooks the food. On the other hand, if the oil temperature is too low, a lack of steam allows the oil to penetrate deep into the crust producing oily, unappetizing fried food. The oil must be hot enough to quickly seal the surface of the food, but not too hot to burn the outside before the inside is completely cooked. Done correctly at a proper temperature, only a minimal amount of oil is absorbed into the food.

Pan FryingThis form of frying is characterized by the use of significantly less hot oil where food is semi-submerged in hot oil in an electric skillet or in a fry pan over an open flame. When pan-frying, the oil’s depth should be no more than 1/2 the thickness of the food. Pan frying differs from deep frying since the food touches the bottom of the pan and the exposed top side of the food allows some loss of moisture in the food as it cooks.

The advantage of pan frying is the use of less oil, this is also a disadvantage as it is more difficult to maintain temperature of the oil. The moisture loss and faster browning of pan fried foods can be advantageous or detrimental depending on the choice of foods to be pan fried. The best candidates for pan frying include fish, shellfish, tender meats and vegetables. Foods to be pan fried are generally covered with a batter or breading and have a rich texture that contrasts with the crispy, crunchy outside.

When pan-frying use an electric skillet with a thermostat to control oil temperature if possible. Otherwise, some experimentation may be required to control oil temperature. When oil temperature is reached, add the food to the pan; and fry on one side until brown. Using tongs or a spatula (never a fork) turn and brown the second side realizing that the second side generally takes less time (it’s hotter when turned over than the first side was) to cook. As with all forms of frying, never crowd the pan as this can dramatically reduce oil temperature. Recovery time is the duration of time necessary to return the oil to the desired cooking temperature. When cooked too long, food will likely be greasy without the seared crunchy exterior most people desire from fried foods.

Oven FryingOven frying produces a result that is healthier (usually less oil yet similar to fried foods even though it isn’t a real frying process. Generally food is baked in a hot oven and basted once with a small quantity of fat or cooking spray. As with deep-fried foods, most foods are breaded or battered prior to being baked to seal in the juices and produce a crunchy, crispy crust. Food normally does not require turning and cooks quickly using this high heat (450° – 500°F) method. This works especially well with fish fillets, chicken pieces and pork chops. Generally bread crumbs or corn flake crumbs are utilized to produce a crispy crust when oven-frying.

The Basics of Frying:

  1. Recommended Products : A quality candy or deep-frying thermometer. A deep fat frying thermometer, preferably with a clip that allows the thermometer to be affixed to the side of the frying vessel is essential, since accurate control of the temperature of the frying oil is essential to successfully fried foods.
  2. An Electric Skillet is preferred for pan frying; otherwise, choose a pan with a thick heavy bottom that is larger in circumference than the heat source (this will prevent oil from dripping down the exterior of the pan into an open flame that might cause a fire.) Use a heavy skillet or frying pan that is wider than it is deep and has a heavy bottom to help regulate uniform heat from the bottom of the pan. This is absolutely essential when pan frying with limited amounts of oil.
  3. A Cajun Injector Electric Fryer for deep fat frying with digital timer and thermometer, basket, clear cover, and petcock drain spout specifically designed for high heat frying of large items such as turkey as well other deep fried foods.

Deep FryingFoods to be deep-fried should be of a size and shape that permits individual pieces to float freely in the fat. The fat should surround the food and begin cooking it on all sides at once. The food is usually battered or breaded to protect the food’s surface moisture from coming into contact with the hot oil creating an exterior layer or crust sealing food flavors and juices inside. We suggest the following tips:

  1. Use a pan wider than it is deep, and that is wider than the heat source (so oil won’t come in contact with direct heat.) Always use clean, fresh oil or previously used oil, properly filtered and refreshed by frying a raw potato or handful of parsley for about five minutes prior to frying food for dinner. Delicate foods should not be fried in oil previously used to fry strongly flavored foods.
  2. Much of fried food odors can be absorbed by placing a small cup of bleach nearby. Be sure to mark as “Bleach” and keep children away from the cup as well as from the hot oil.
  3. Never fill your fryer more than half full of oil. You will need a minimum of three inches between the oil surface and the top of the pot.
  4. Constantly monitor temperature of the oil. Never crowd the frying oil, fry in small batches. The oil should freely bubble around each piece of food at correct temperature.
  5. Use proper tools when removing fried foods and draining oils to a plate with several layers of paper towels. To add more absorbency, place a brown paper bag below the paper towels on the plate.
  6. Keep deep-fried foods warm by placing in a single layer on fresh paper towels (after initial draining step above is finished) in a 250°F oven while you complete frying.

Choice of Oil or Fat as a Frying Medium:

  1. Your choice of Oil or Fat often depends on the frying technique to be utilized and the projected frying temperature. As an example, when sautéing, oil choice often depends on the flavor to be imparted as butter or bacon grease are often employed. Olive oil is also a good choice if temperatures not over 300°F are to be employed in sautéing or pan-frying.
  2. Health Concerns can determine your choice. We recommend non-hydrogenated oils with zero trans fats and zero cholesterol. This eliminates the use of animal fats.
  3. Smoke point is a stage at which fat or oil begins to smoke. Utilize oils with a high smoking point (above 400°F). and high stability. Most vegetable oils have smoking points over 400°F and can be used in all cooking methods.
  4. High heat, water, and burned food particles break the oil down over time. Filter the oil after use. Allow the oil to cool after use and filter to remove all food particles that could burn during reuse.
  5. Replace your old oil if you notice the following symptoms: Excessive smoking at normal temperatures; strong oil discoloration; rancid odor.

Choice of Coating Mix, Breading Mix, or Batter Mix:A breaded item is any food that is coated with bread crumbs, cracker meal, corn meal, or other dry meal to protect it during cooking. Breaded foods can be seasoned, marinated, or rubbed prior to breading, or seasonings may be added to the flour, crumbs, or meal, before the coatings are applied. Coating batters are liquid or semiliquid mixtures, utilizing flour, milk, and eggs, used in cooking.

  1. When breading meats, chefs call a three-step process “the standard breading procedure.” First, pat the food dry (always reduce moisture as much as possible to reduce splattering and oil degradation) and then dredge in seasoned flour. The flour adds seasoning and allows egg wash to adhere. Next dip the floured food in an egg wash (egg wash should contain whole eggs whisked together with approximately one tablespoon of milk or water per egg.) Egg wash will cause the breading to coat the item and form a tight seal when food is cooked. Lastly, coat the food with crumbs or seasoned meal, shake off the excess and place in a container in a single layer.
  2. Battering. Prepare the batter according to directions. Pat the food dry, dredge in seasoned flour, if desired. Dip the item in the batter and generally cook immediately. There are some chefs that recommend chilling the batter with ice or refrigeration to obtain a great sear and those who recommend battering by placing in a single layer and refrigerating for up to 30 minutes to dry the batter. When using these methods, be sure to cook very small batches so as to maintain oil temperature.

For Gulf Coast Style Seafood Boil

5 lbs. Shrimp * 8 Medium Crabs * 4 lbs. Crawfish * Vegetables

  1. Wash Shrimp or seafood in cold water. Confirm crabs and crawfish are alive prior to boiling (crabs and crawfish should be alive at time of cooking). Purge Crawfish in salted water.
  2. Place products to be boiled inside the basket. Be sure that water displacement does not exceed the capacity of the boiling pot. This can be checked by placing all the ingredients in the pot and placing the basket in the cold water (prior to heating) to be sure that the boiler will not overflow the pot. Place products to be boiled inside the basket. Be sure that water displacement does not exceed the capacity of the boiling pot. This can be checked by placing all the ingredients in the pot and placing the basket in the cold water (prior to heating) to be sure that the boiler will not overflow the pot.
  3. Measure out water (not to exceed 3-gallons) following the instructions on your favorite seafood boil package. For a spicier boil, add 1 12-oz. bottle of The “Original” Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce per package of spice mix used. Bring to a boil. Add boil mix contents, for mildly seasoned, non-messy food or for spicy, hot cooked seafood or vegetables, reserve 2 Tbsp. spice mix per package for sprinkling over seafood or vegetables (after draining and prior to eating).
  4. First add favorite selected vegetables (optional step) such as small white or red potatoes, mushrooms, corn, garlic pods, lemon slices and small onions to the boiling mixture. Hard simmer in boiling solution for 10 minutes or until vegetables are cooked. Cut heat and allow to soak in mixture for 10 minutes. Remove vegetables. Return solution to a boil. Add Seafood; return to boil, timing shrimp 3-minutes; Crabs or Crawfish 8-10 minutes depending on size.
  5. Remove from heat. Add ice to stop cook (being sure not to overflow the boiling pot) and allow to soak for 10-15 minutes prior to draining and pouring out of container. Sprinkle reserved spicy boil mix over boiled seafood prior to eating.
  6. To double the amount being boiled: Add an additional 1-1/2 gallons Water (Total 3-Gallons) along with an additional 1/3 cup of Salt; 1/2 cup of Red Cayenne Pepper, and an additional 12-oz. bottle “Original” Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce to the directions given above.

Chesapeake Style Steamed Crabs or Seafood

Crabs * Crawfish * Fish * Vegetables

  1. Utilize a boiling pot with a raised rack a minimum of 2-3 inches above the bottom of the boiling pot. Add equal amounts of water and vinegar to a water level just below the rack. Optional: Add a bottle of 12-oz. “Original” Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce to the water-vinegar mixture.
  2. Layer Crabs or other foods to be steamed. Sprinkle your favorite spice mix lightly, or until partially covered, and steam in covered pot until crabs turn red, or other foods are fully steam cooked.

Injectable Marinade Concepts and Utilization Techniques

Injectable marinades and brines possess the same characteristics as their counterparts except that they do not require product soaking in order to impart flavor; moisturize, and tenderize. Unlike marinade soaking methodologies that only penetrate about a 1/4 inch into meat surfaces, require long soak times, and contaminate expensive marinades, flavor injection infuses blended flavors deep inside the meat. Conceptually the flavor injection concept makes good sense: instant flavor, yet no waiting, no waste as marinade is injected, and no fats are required in the marinades to protect the meat surface during soaking time. Rubs, seasonings, and sauces are used to flavor the surface of the meat.

As with many culinary skills, proper technique when “flavor injecting” will result in superior results. The flavoring should be spread uniformly throughout the meat with as few punctures of the meat as possible. The flavor injector is a syringe with a needle attached to a plunger which allows the user to inject the flavoring deep into the meat.

Injecting Tips for poultry start with limiting the puncture holes and when possible separating the skin from the meat and puncturing directly into the geometric center of the meat. Carefully and slowly inject along the grain of the meat aiming the injector into the middle of the meat and reduce plunger pressure on liquid as the needle comes nearer the surface of the meat (so meat can close up behind the needle.) Do not pull the needle completely out of the puncture hole unless to reload with liquid. Use the same hole to angle into the other areas of the meat, slowing infusing flavor as the needle moves back toward the meat surface. Remember the object is to spread your injection pattern so as to get small amounts of flavor in as many places as possible. Occasionally, some of the liquid is likely to spurt out on the meat surface. Rub the flavoring over the surface of the meat and then rub and season the surface of the meat as desired.

Injecting Techniques

1. Attach injector needle by turning clock-wise until snug. Do not over tighten. Hint: Be sure rubber plunger is lightly coated with oil prior to using. Determine amount of marinade required (1.5 to 2 ounces per pound of meat) and measure out contents into a clean container to prevent contamination of unused marinade.

2. Pull plunger to draw marinade into injector. Hint: Both slots in needle should be immersed in liquid to prevent air from entering injector chamber.

3. For best results, a geometrically centered injection point should include one deep and straight needle track as well as two additional tracks at approximately 45 degree angles branching out from the original injection point.

4. Once inserted deep into meat, press plunger down while slowly pulling injector needle out of meat to ensure even distribution of marinade. Follow same procedure with each needle track at each insertion point.

5. See illustration at right for suggested insertion points for turkey.

Cajun Injector® Deep Fried TurkeyPrep Time: 20 minutesCook Time: 35-45 MinutesYield: 8 servings

Ingredients:1 Cajun Injector® Propane Fryer3 Gallons Cajun Injector® Cottonseed Oil1 10 – 12 Pound Whole Turkey2 16 oz. jars Cajun Injector® Creole Butter Recipe Marinade1 8 oz. canister Cajun Injector® Quick Shake® Cajun Shake®

Method:Place the outdoor gas burner on level dirt or grassy area. Never fry a turkey indoors, in a garage, or in any structure attached to a building. Do not fry on wood decks, which could catch fire, or concrete, which could be stained by the oil, (have a fire extinguisher nearby for added safety). Add oil to a 7 to 10 gallon pot with a basket. At medium-high setting, heat the oil to 350°F (depending on the amount of oil, outside temperature and wind conditions, this should take about 20 to 40 minutes). Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey. Cut off the wing tips and plump little tail as they may get caught in the fryer basket. Rinse the turkey well with cold water, and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Take care to dry inside the cavity. Place in a large pan and inject with 2 ounce per pound of Cajun Injector Creole Butter Recipe Marinade. Season liberally inside and out with Cajun Injector Quick Shake Cajun Shake. To allow for good oil circulation through the cavity, do not truss or tie legs together. Place the turkey in basket, neck down. When the deep-fry thermometer reaches 350°F slowly lower the turkey into the hot oil. The level of the oil will rise due to the frothing caused by the moisture from the turkey but will stabilize in about 1 minute, (to prevent burns from the splattering oil wear oven mitts/gloves, long sleeves, heavy shoes, and even glasses. It is wise to have 2 people lowering and raising the turkey). Immediately check the oil temperature, and increase the flame so the oil temperature is maintained at 350°F. If the temperature drops to 340°F or below, oil will begin to seep into turkey. Fry about 3-1/2 minutes per pound, or about 35 to 45 minutes for a 10 to 12 pound turkey. Stay with the cooker at all times, as the heat must be regulated. When cooked to 170°F in the breast or 180°F in the thigh, carefully remove the turkey for the hot oil. Allow the turkey to drain for a few minutes. Remove the turkey to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let it rest for 20 minutes. Slice the turkey and serve hot.
