Turkey Fryer Basket
A turkey fryer basket is used to place a turkey or chicken in a deep fryer for the most juicy, moist and delicious meat. Most baskets can hold up to 30 quarts which is a fairly large bird. A turkey fryer basket can also be used to steam and boil other types of foods like vegetables, seafood such as lobsters, crabs, shrimp, clams, crawfish, beef and pork. Fryer baskets can be purchased in a turkey fryer kit or separately as a replacement part. All of the fryer baskets are perforated with holes on every side for easy drainage of hot cooking oil.
