Love deep-fried turkey, but aren't crazy about surrounding your fowl with unhealthy oil? Turn to the Masterbuilt Butterball oil-free electric turkey fryer, a high-performing alternative to traditional fryers developed with the health-conscious in mind. The oil-free fryer is designed to give you perfectly moist meat with a tender crisp. It tastes like fried turkey and looks like fried turkey, but it uses no oil whatsoever.
Radiant Heat Design
The fryer's double-wall construction uses radiant heat to seal the outside of the turkey, producing a turkey that's crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. Thanks to the powerful 1,650-watt electric element, the fryer can cook turkeys as large as 18 pounds in as little as 10 minutes of cooking time per pound, or about three hours. It's also easy to monitor your turkey thanks to the tempered glass lid, which is large enough to look right in while you wait. You can also use the lid hook to hang the lid on the outer edge of the fryer for added convenience.
The Butterball fryer is loaded with convenient features, including a foolproof adjustable temperature control dial with a thermostat that provides even, consistent cooking. The dial prevents the fryer from overheating and yields delicious results every time. The fryer basket is also handy, as it not only holds 18-pound turkeys, but also pork roasts, whole chickens, and even corn on the cob. The basket is accompanied by a sturdy lifting hook for easy basket removal. And to ensure consistent cooking, the fryer comes with a turkey stand that goes inside the roasting basket. The turkey stand centers the meat and opens the large cavity, so flavor and moisture are distributed evenly and penetrate throughout the entire turkey.
Pile on the Flavor
Not content with the moist flavors of a fried turkey? Pile on the flavor using the fryer's built-in wood chip box. With your favorite wood chips, you can infuse a great smokehouse flavor your family will love. And chefs will love the removable drip pan at the bottom of the unit, which catches all the drippings while your turkey or pot roast cooks. You can then use the drippings to make a delicious broth, gravy, or sauce. Plus, the drip pan makes cleanup easier than ever.
The Butterball oil-free turkey fryer measures 18 by 23.2 by 26.2 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day limited warranty.

Masterbuilt Butterball Oil-Free Electric Turkey Fryer,

This review is from: Masterbuilt 20100809 Butterball Oil-Free Electric Turkey Fryer and Roaster (Lawn & Patio)
Great investment. We were skeptical but this was the best and juiciest turkey we have ever had. We fixed an 11 lb test turkey and it was gone in 2 days (just two of us, and I usually don't like turkey). Then we fixed an 18 lb for Thanksgiving with this and fixed another 12 lb in the oven the usual way and we ended up with just about the whole oven turkey only for leftovers (10 people).

Definitely Not A Deep Fryer,

This review is from: Masterbuilt 20100809 Butterball Oil-Free Electric Turkey Fryer and Roaster (Lawn & Patio)
The electric turkey fryer is a good choice if you don't want the mess or hazards of using oil for deep frying. For the money it does an okay job of doing nothing more than cooking your turkey and collecting the drippings. All in all, only buy this product if you want to make room in your oven or grill to cook somthing else at the same time. One good thing about this fryer though is the wood chip tray for smoking. It seems to impart good smoke into the meat. Perhaps this fryer will work better as a low temp smoker. Will try that next. So, in short, if you are looking for that deep fried crispiness and look...this won't give you that.

I'm happy with my oil-free fryer, & I'm giving them as gifts,

This review is from: Masterbuilt 20100809 Butterball Oil-Free Electric Turkey Fryer and Roaster (Lawn & Patio)
I selected the Masterbuilt/Butterball Oil-Free Electric Turkey Fryer for three primary reasons. First, since my granddaughter is allergic to peanuts, I could not fry a turkey in peanut oil. Second, I wanted a way to capture drippings to make traditional-style turkey gravy, and third, I liked the idea of being able to roast a turkey at the rate of 10 minutes per pound. I started with a 10-lb. Butterball test turkey and vacillated as to whether to inject it with a butter-flavored marinade or leave it unflavored. I did not want Creole flavoring, and I'd read that if the turkey isn't injected with the proper quantities of marinade in the proper places, the marinade can pool and cause intense flavor in some areas of the meat. I decided to try roasting it without any seasoning at all and see what happened. I did nothing to the turkey except dry it thoroughly with paper towels and bind the wings next to the breast with a silicone band. We were very pleased with the outcome. The turkey cooked in exactly 100 minutes, and it was moist, juicy and delicious. On Thanksgiving, I roasted a 12-lb. Butterball turkey and everyone raved. Once again, it cooked in exactly 120 minutes. This time I oiled the turkey inside and out with corn oil mixed with minced fresh rosemary. I also applied a small amount of poultry rub to the skin.
For others who buy this product--which really isn't a fryer but a roaster--I can offer a couple of pointers. The instructions call for preheating the fryer, but it doesn't mention that preheating to the "high" setting takes a long time. On Thanksgiving, I preheated the unit for a full hour before putting in the turkey. Also, the turkey "basket" that fits into the unit is a cone shape with hole in the bottom for the drippings to drain into the cup. The instructions don't mention that when the user transports the cooked turkey in the basket from outdoors to indoors, it will leave a trail of drippings. On Thanksgiving, we solved the problem by placing the turkey basket into a cardboard box. Afterward we removed the turkey from the basket with silicone oven mitts. Today I intend to order two Masterbuilt/Butterball Oil-Free Electric Turkey Fryers as gifts for dear friends, one who can never seem to get her turkey done and another who has only one oven. For both of them, preparation of Christmas dinner will be much easier and stress-free.
