Cajun Injector Injector Owner's Manual - Questions
QUESTIONS
Why can’t I turn my turkey fryer on?
The Control Panel includes a “Safety Switch” that must be aligned correctly
for element to power on. A green light will illuminate when control panel is
mounted correctly.
How much oil do I need to use?
Frying with this appliance will require approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7L) of
oil. The fill line marks the maximum amount of liquid that the appliance can
safely contain. The max fill line provides for ample liquid to cook any meal
in this appliance.
What type of oil should I use?
Cottonseed oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher
smoke point, but any common cooking oil may be used.
How hot will the oil become?
After not more than 55 minutes, oil will typically reach 400˚F (204˚C). This
time is dependent on ambient temperature of the oil and weather conditions.
When turkey is placed in fryer, oil temperature will drop to around 275˚F
(135˚C); this is a suitable temperature for frying a turkey.
Should the lid stay on during use?
Yes, the lid helps to retain heat and keeps splashes inside the unit.
What size turkey can I deep fry in this appliance?
Any turkey 14lbs. (6.35kgs) or less can be fried in this unit.
Can I use an extension cord with this appliance?
No, an extension cord will weaken electrical current which will increase
cooking time and lessen performance. The risk of tripping or knocking over
this unit is increased with the use of extension cords.
Which way should the turkey face when frying?
Turkey and turkey breasts should be placed horizontal in the basket with the
breast side facing up.
I followed the instructions and the turkey wasn’t fully cooked. What
went wrong?
Cooking conditions may vary; the turkey may have been excessively cold.
Always bring the turkey to room temperature before frying. Occasionally, a
cold or frozen spot in a joint or deep in the turkey breast does not allow that
section to cook properly.
Can the Electric Turkey Fryer be used outdoors?
Cajun Injector does not recommend using this turkey fryer outdoors. If you
do not want to use this appliance in your house, use in a garage or covered
patio to prevent the Electric Turkey Fryer from being exposed to precipita-
tion.
