Overview

Frying a whole turkey, steaming food or boiling a large seafood batch all happen in the same electric pot. Masterbuilt fits it with an extra-large basket, a lid and a built-in drain valve, and it heats with an electric element.

Whole-bird capacity with less oil is what sets it apart, along with a valve for draining used oil. The listing gives no temperature range, and its exterior dimensions do not look usable.

Who it's for

Family turkey dinners, wing nights and seafood boils are the jobs it was built around. Couples who fry small portions will be heating far more oil than they need.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Basket takes a whole turkey
  • Uses less oil than traditional fryers
  • Drain valve for oil removal
  • Dishwasher safe components
Cons
  • Temperature range not listed
  • Large oil volume to heat and dispose of
  • Needs storage room for a big pot

Performance notes

Frying results depend on the oil returning to temperature after cold food goes in, and the element wattage sets how quickly that recovery happens. A whole bird drops the oil temperature more than wings do, so batch size changes cook time. The drain valve decides how cleanly the oil comes out afterward.
