HI. If I am deep frying a turkey, will this thermometer be able to be inserted for the entire frying process? Thanks!

Yes it will. The High-Temp Probe can be inserted into the bird and left in during the cooking process. The cable and probe junction is sealed, and the cable itself will withstand short term exposure up to 700°F. Plenty of room when frying at 300°F.

I'm not sure if it can handle that head for that long. There is a synthetic piece that attaches the probe to the cable. If that part stays out of the hot oil, it might work, but I am not sure what temperature it can withstand.

This is NOT a frying thermometer . It is designed to go into the oven as it is called Maverick Baker's Oven Thermometer. It does read to 375 and above BUT I would suggest you contact the manufacturer to verify usage or what they recommend. For frying and or candy I have two different styles. I would suggest you just google candy/frying thermometers and various will come up

No you do not leave it in the turkey while frying. You insert it into the turkey after it has finished frying. Hope this helps.

While it is certainly possible to not turn on the rotisserie switch, the turkey is not entirely submerged in the oil, maybe only 2/3 of the way. This means that you would have to do the work of the rotisserie and turn the bird yourself. I would not recommend it. On the other hand, the manual/DVD for the unit mentions that one can use it for regular deep-frying, presumably for items that can be completely submerged.

Yes, you can absolutely use it for deep frying, as long as you're frying at no more than 450F. It doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Sorry, I have not used it for deep frying. I'm not sure why that would be. Splatters? Lid fits firmly so, hmmm? Good luck.

Yeah - I use mine on a turkey fryer. If anything I have to keep it turned down as my burner is capable of producing more than enough heat. Hope that helps!

I have not used a thermometer, but i have used this for deep frying. i bought it exclusively for deep frying outdoors (extension cord not included). works well, i would estimate it gets up to 350 comfortably.

YES. I havent measured the temp. From mine at setting #4 it gives a steady temp for frying on a small pot.

This grill/smoker was not designed to deep fry a turkey. If you have a large/deep pot, you could try....But, not sure if you can keep it hot enough for cooking turkey completely. I've never tried to deep fry a turkey. The pots provided for deep frying with this grill/smoker are too small. They would probably work for fried fish or potatoes but not a turkey. Good Luck...

Not sure what that is? assuming you are asking if it fits in a Turkey oil Fryer? It would but the fryer has a basket which lifts out when you are done were this would have to be manually pulled up as it does not have a handle. It works great on a Big Green Egg or Weber style BBQ as the Turkey is setting vertically.

It would work for deep frying better than shallow frying I think. It stuck badly when I tried to fry chicken with a half inch or so of oil.

Yes. I also recommend that you purchase an instant read thermometer also. The reason why is that with cooking a turkey your thermometer could be off a 1/4 of an inch and get a complete different reading. One other tip...don't submerge your prob in water to clean, it will ruin.

I only use it for frying. I have never thought about using it any other way, but I suppose it is possible. You probably should contact the company which manufacturers this product.

Hi, you can fry fish and chicken but not a deep fry. I use a small amount of oil with the Oster on a medium heat and brown each side then reduce the heat, cover and cook until done. My one word of caution is the middle does get quite hot because of the element so watch the food close to the center. Good luck and Happy cooking! This is a fun little cooker and you will be so surprised how may meals it will provide ! So fry away ! Remember .... Easy with the oil and you will be fine. Have a great day!

Yes you can.. I fried a turkey with it..The difficult part was measuring the oil.Wings would be no problem.
