Ricky Faulstich > We were scheduled to fry three turkeys, but there could be only one. Thanks to the inability of getting the temperature up to level within a reasonable amount time, most people had to go take care of their other Christmas Eve obligations (or just never showed up at all; you know who you are!) There wouldn't be enough people still around to finish off the first one much less dig into a couple more,
Ricky Faulstich > Doing its thing. Unfortunately we had a bit of an unexpected issue and had to make a judgement call. You drop at 250 degrees and then crank it up rapidly to 350. Our burner just didn't have the muster to overcome the 30 degree weather. By the time we were supposed to be done cooking, the temperature finally nudged near 300 degrees. We did some calculus, reworked the logarithmic termodynamics involved, and decided we'd let it cook for an additional 65% of its original cook time.
Ricky Faulstich > Not a Drill, Part V. Finally the turkey is completely submerged and secured. Some scary moments at times, but the majority of the danger was out of the way.
Ricky Faulstich > Not a Drill, Part IV. To make sure we had exactly the right amount of oil required, we put the turkey in the pot and added measured amounts of water until it reached the desired cooking level. In our case, it was 4.5 gallons. We only bought 4 gallons of peanut oil... we "borrowed" the rest - of unknown type - from the restaurant's kitchen and mixed them.
Ricky Faulstich > Not a Drill, Part III. The last fraction of the turkey drop must take place very slowly. There's two things working against you near the end of the drop: (1) the oil begans to react violently to the part that's already under, and (2) the oil level rises to the top of the pot because of the turkey displacement.
