The Best Turkey Fryer

After testing two stoves, frying two turkeys (one on a propane burner and one in a top-rated electric fryer), and talking to three chefs about what types of equipment work best, we’re confident that the Bayou Classic Aluminum Turkey Fryer Stockpot paired with the Bayou Classic Single Burner Patio Stove is the best option for Thanksgiving. And once the holiday has come and gone, both can serve you well for other outdoor-cooking projects, such as lobster boils and clambakes. We have tried to find a good indoor alternative to the propane fryer but have been consistently disappointed in the soggy, oily results. If you’re going to fry a turkey, do it right.
