Bayou Classic Turkey Fryer Pot - Vented Lid, Riveted Handles, Poultry Rack, Thermometer, Injector - 42 Qt - Aluminum

Big pot means less likely spills when lowering the turkey. Good accessories. Looking forward to shrimp and crab boils. Good purchase. I’d do buy it again.

High quality used it for several years now.

Great pot for frying large turkey's work great

I assumed the duty of cooking our family's Thanksgiving turkey this year and knew right away I wanted to do a fried turkey. I bought this based on other reviews and it definitely got the job done well. I did three test runs with 15-17 pound turkeys, all of which turned out great, and our Thanksgiving turkeys (we ended up doing 2 turkeys that day) were delicious as well. Stuff to know: -This thing is BIG. It took 5-6 gallons of oil (I used peanut oil) to fully submerge each turkey because of how wide this fryer is. That's two 3-gallon jugs, each of which runs about $30. So you'll spend $60 on oil alone. If you're planning on frying smaller turkeys, you probably don't need one this big. -Allow plenty of time for the oil to heat up. 6 gallons is a lot of liquid. It took a good 35 minutes to get the oil up to temperature (325-350 F) before I could put the turkey in. Allow yourself some extra time at the beginning of the cook to heat the oil so that your guests aren't waiting around for the turkey to be done. If it gets done a bit early, you can just rest the turkey a bit longer after it's done and it will stay hot internally and be that much easier to carve up. -Easy to clean: warm water, soap, a sponge, and some elbow grease were all it took to clean the fryer afterwards. I thought I'd spend a lot of effort scraping the residue but it wasn't bad at all. -The thermometer was a bit off, it would jump between 275 - 350 sometimes in seconds, which makes me think I got a faulty one. These aren't expensive though so I just picked up a new one at my local hardware store.

Man this pot can cook a delicious turkey . The big boys . I cooked a 25 pound one for the holidays and it turned out just perfect !!

I bought two of these for processing ducks and turkeys. I have a duck, turkey chicken farm and regularly process birds for food. I use one for heating up hot soapy water and one for heating up water with duck wax. I use a gas camping stove top under the pots and these pots are holding up wonderfully! They clean easily and are thick and good material. No issues here!

Had a friend give me a turkey which ended up being 35lbs. This was the largest fryer I could find and it worked out great! I would say it’s not worth buying unless you have plan on frying large birds regularly bc it requires a lot of oil as it’s diameter is very large. All in all it was exactly what I needed.

Good quality

We did a 14 pound bird in this pot. Very little temperature drop when lowered the bird into the oil and the recovery time to get back to temp. was quick. Very happy with this product. Would like the aluminum to be a bit thicker but that's a personal 'thing'. Would highly recommend this product.

Started off the New Year with a delicious deep-fried turkey. Yum!!!

It’s a pot, accessories are convenient and provide additional safety when frying a turkey.

Bought this for my husband for Christmas, it is bigger then I expected but will be great for big family gatherings I love how durable the pot feels, cleaned easy, and heated up quickly I also liked that it came with the accessories

A really good buy with everything you need for deep frying a turkey.
