Think of all the things you could do with a turkey fryer
Each year on New Year’s Day I try to throw some awesome cookout/party. Why New Year’s Day instead of New Year’s Eve? Unless you are throwing the killerest of all time NYE parties, it is pretty hard to get people to commit to you on the 31st. But, honestly, who has plans for the first? […]

Unless you are throwing the killerest of all time NYE parties, it is pretty hard to get people to commit to you on the 31st. But, honestly, who has plans for the first? No one, I tell you.
Previously on NYD we’ve cooked a whole pig in a giant cinder block box and fried a turkey. Now I’m thinking about investing in a turkey fryer. I mean guys: you can fry anything!
- Turkeys
- Hush puppies
- Oreos
- Twinkies
- Candy bars
- and more!
Not only can you fry things, but you can steam/boil them! We could have a crab pickin’! HOW FUN DOES THAT SOUND? Really ass fun, I say.

Fried IC?
Turkey Fryer is awesome for boiling crabs — which is another good use for PBR… and also awesome for a fish fry…
Am I invited?
I have always had a secret urge (that belies my usual thing for food that won’t eventually kill me) to deep-fry a chocolate layer cake.
I was thinking about making steak nuggets!? How awesome would that be!
EVERYONE IS INVITED!
If someone is deep-frying a chocolate layer cake, I’ll come. Otherwise, I’ll stay home and watch our new Roomba chase cats with its robot-like fixation.
It’s not even robot-like is it? It *is* a robot.
How is it that nobody ever reads my Amazon wish list (even when I email it to them)? How is it I didn’t get a Roomba for Christmas too!
And Ross, do not fry steak. Just don’t do it. Ever.
But I mean: steak nuggets!? How can you go wrong? Don’t you remember middle school lunch on Fridays?!
There was no middle school when Brandon was a pre-teen. It was called Junior High School and they only served meatloaf, fried chicken and pizza.
Oh heavens, this brings to mind chicken fried steak.
Hey John–In fact, I DID go to middle school, smarty-pants, but true enough, I don’t think the nugget was invented yet. And we only had fried chicken once a year at Christmas in the cafeteria, and it was as if the gods had bestowed the ultimate culinary treat upon all of us worthless preteen mortals. That, and having to wear a coat and gloves in class during the winter is what a private education would get you around here back in those days.
But seriously, Ross. DO NOT DEEP-FRY STEAK. EVER, EVER, EVER!
Ok turkey fryer update, here are things we fried:
* Turkey
* Onions (we made blooming onions that tasted outstanding)
* Potatoes, which turned into some weird fried potato cake thing that tasted good with powdered sugar.
* Corn dogs
* Oreos
* Twinkies
We attempted to fry candy bars and Reese’s Cups but failed miserably.
Deep Fried Mars Bars are great. The secret to success is to have them chilled in the fridge, batter them with a basic batter, and deep fry only about 60-90 seconds or so. i like to use the Bite Sized Bars.
