Since Thanksgiving preparations are well underway for most of us, NASP thought it would be a good idea to share some Turkey Frying Safety Tips

Cook out in the open. DO NOT FRY INSIDE!
Drinking and Frying don’t mix
Keep children away
Watch the temperature like a hawk (not a turkey)
Don’t not fill oil above fill line.
1. The bigger the bird, the less oil you need
Lower the Turkey VERY slowly
Wear your PPE
Use a long utensil when lowering your turkey to avoid the heat
Keep the propane tank as far away from burner as possible
In case of fire, shut off gas immediately
If fire occurs, do NOT use water to put it out
