Good to know; Thaw the bird BEFORE you fry the bird. Now, that's common sense for those of you who deep fry the turkey every year.  This message is really meant for the first timers who buy the fry equipment after a couple of rounds at the local pub-take it home, pour the oil, light the burner and poof-*

*9-1-1 call  Dispatcher:  What is your emergency?

Fryer: I-I'm not sure, I just dropped the turkey into the deep fryer and ....

Well, you know the rest of the story. I hope this video is a helpful reminder;  before you drop the bird into the hot oil-check your homeowners insurance deductible first.

I've been in the zone where  deep fryers fry their turkeys.  They are methodical masters of their environment- checking and rechecking their surroundings. They take more precautions than a Homeland security swat team at Rick Husband International Airport.    They can skip this video warning.  But, if this is your attempt at deep frying a turkey-be safe, have a designated cooking buddy and THAW-OUT THAT BIRD!

Are you deep frying the bird this year?  Did this video-A) Scare You B) Bore You or C) Make you wonder why the government is spending money making videos like this?

Have a safe and satisfying Thanksgiving feast.
