Deep fryers: Popular cooking containers that blast cooked food with extreme heating temperatures.

The very melting pot of food - a quicker worker than gas grills and barbeque smokers - so to speak.  Minute by minute, fryers cook food quicker and faster than conventional barbecue grills. Specifically, they immerse food in heated oil. In cafeterias across the country, these grilling machines are used to mass produce hundreds of pounds of french fries and chicken nuggets weekly.

Any cooking oil will do in producing fine barbeque recipes on the deep fryer.

Olive oil, canola oil, or lard will suffice. Make sure this cooking oil doesn’t burn when reaching high temperatures. Unlike gas grills and barbeque smokers, barbequing using fryers can be a hazard. You should never grill indoors, as the oil could splatter and pop up. Inserting a big piece of food such as a turkey can overflow the oil onto the floor, creating a health hazard. Grilling in high temperatures on these bad boys can cause the oil to ignite. In case this happens, always have a lid handy. Exercise caution when cooking your grilling recipes. Unlike Weber grills and barbecue smokers, you do not have the luxury of a relatively fast clean up with scrapers and brushes. Waiting for the extremely hot oil to cook off can take hours. Always be careful when transporting your oil filter to the sink. Become a natural at this by becoming acquainted with proper deep fryer usage guidelines. We never claimed grilling and barbecuing would be injury-free!

Popular grilling recipes using the deep fryer include turkeys, chicken, cutlets, french fries and more. Chinese restaurants use a wok (a modified deep fryer) to cook or re-heat their food. There are different temperature ranges that must be following when grilling bbq food. For instance, turkeys should be grilled at no more than 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Going over this would be considered broiling! For a great alternative to gas grills and smokers, test your fryer now!
