Will concrete catch fire? #DFT2015
Will concrete catch fire?
OK-No indoor deep frying turkeys! #DFT2015
Happy burning the house down day! #DFT2015
Today is the day!!!
Deep fried turkey or fully involved working house fire.
Only a few hours till fry time!
Turkey frozen in carbonite? #DFT2015
Since my turkey is thawed, I can start preparing it for the deep frying right?
Because if my turkey was still frozen (in carbonite), it would not properly deep fry.
^^^^^^See what I did there?
Hope my turkeys don’t explode…
Can you thaw a frozen turkey with warm water? #DFT2015
Did you thaw your turkey in warm water? If you did, this will happen.
Who did this?!?!!
I know.
Turkey thawing temperatures and safe handling techniques #DFT2015
To help thaw my turkey, I just might try this method.
Maybe I should get some gloves so I don’t cross contaminate everything.
But seriously, here’s a few tips to help keep your kitchen (and bathroom) clean as you are thawing your birds:
- Wash your hands frequently.
- Keep all dishes, plates, and kitchen utensils clean.
- Use different platters for the raw and cooked turkey.
- When thawing turkeys in the fridge, use a try or pan to catch the falling juices that may leak.
That sounds like a ton of stuff to remember.
Turkeys are more difficult to cook than rabbit
But for those science nerds or mathletes out there, here’s a more pound based calculation for you:
- To thaw a 4-12 pound turkey, it will take approximately 1-3 days.
- To thaw a 12-16 pound turkey, it will take approximately 3-4 days.
- To thaw a 16-20 pound turkey, it will take approximately 4-5 days.
- To thaw a 20-24 pound turkey, it will take approximately 5-6 days.
Basically, if you have a frozen turkey, over 12 pounds, you are screwed.
Get thawing! NOW!
Great balls – I mean turkey of fire! #DFT2015
As I was eating my turkey sandwich for lunch, I envisioned this for Thursday
Yep, I’m gonna die.
Just like William Shatner #DFT2015
I must be cool if I’m in the same pool as William Shatner.

OK, he’s got some good tips.
wait…Wait…WAIT!!!!!! James T. Kirk…..Kevin T. Sur…..I now see the similarities!
Jetzzz Jacuzzi for thawing my turkeys! #DFT2015
I’m thawing my turkey now.
Wait, they don’t need the Jacuzzi bubbles?
I better take them out of the wrapper and move them inside in the tub.
By removing the shrink wrap, they should thaw faster right?
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Who’s ready for Thanksgiving with @rusnivek?!?!?
Important tips:
- If you drop a frozen solid turkey into the deep fryer, the water frozen in the turkey will react with the oil and cause a rapid reaction that will likely cause explosion.
- The overflow and reaction will likely cause peanut oil overflow which can lead to a gigantic fireball when ignited by the open flame.
- Peanut oil on your concrete is hard to clean. It will leave a massive smelly stain on your driveway.
- Even a partially frozen turkey will retain the water/moisture and initiate the oil + water reaction with possible explosion and fire.
And here I am just thawing my turkey. Maybe I should call my insurance agent.
Reporting live from the bathroom…
Where is @rusnivek?
