Default Why you shouldn't deep fry a frozen turkey, featuring METAL AND FLAMES

http://www.sbnation.com/2016/11/21/1...a-thanksgiving


The Reservoir Fire Department in Mississippi made this super dramatic
video showing just how dangerous it is to put a frozen bird into a
fryer. The reason is relatively simple science: The water from the
frozen turkey will sink to the bottom of the fryer (because it’s denser
than water) which then in turn will try to escape as steam. When this
happens it displaces the oil, causing it to bubble over and when that
reacts with a flame you have a giant turkey fire.

More than 1,000 fires are caused each year by turkey fryers. Heck, FEMA
(yes, FEMA) released a brochure on the subject.
