Our verdict

A stainless pot kit for deep frying a whole turkey outdoors, with the basket, rack, lift hook and thermometer included. The listing shows no burner, so a separate heat source is needed.

Overview

A perforated basket and lift hook handle the bird in this Bayou Classic kit, lowering it into a stainless steel pot and raising it out again. A perforated poultry rack and a thermometer come with the pot, but a burner is not among the listed parts.

Pot, basket, rack, hook and thermometer arrive together, so a turkey fry needs only a burner and oil added. The gap is the heat source, which the listed components leave out entirely.

Who it's for

A cook frying a whole turkey on a burner already in the garage. Someone shopping for a complete outdoor cooker with its own heat source should look at a burner-and-pot bundle instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Stainless steel pot
  • Perforated basket included
  • Poultry rack included
  • Lift hook for raising the bird
Cons
  • No burner in the listed parts
  • Warranty details not available
  • Weight entry in the listing is unusable

Performance notes

The perforated basket lets oil drain as the bird comes out, and the lift hook holds hands away from the pot. The thermometer lets the cook watch oil temperature, which depends on the separate burner supplying heat.
