Yo, fellow turkey enthusiasts! Are you ready to ditch the greasy, messy traditional fryer and embrace the healthier, hassle-free world of oil-less turkey frying? Look no further than the Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer, your ticket to juicy, flavorful turkeys without the guilt or the cleanup

But wait—before you turn up the heat and add your bird, let’s go over the fundamentals of utilizing the Big Easy like a pro. This tutorial will lead you through every step of the procedure, from preparing your turkey to turning it the perfect golden brown.

Step 1: Gearing Up for Greatness

  • First things first, grab your Big Easy and give it a good scrub. You want to start with a clean slate, so make sure there’s no leftover residue from previous culinary adventures.
  • Next, grab your trusty turkey. Whether you’re working with a fresh or frozen bird, make sure it’s completely thawed and patted dry. No one wants a soggy turkey, right?
  • Now, it’s time to season your masterpiece. Rub your turkey with your favorite spices, or go for a classic salt and pepper combo. Don’t be shy, let your inner chef shine!
  • Pro tip: Injecting your turkey with a flavorful marinade is a great way to take it to the next level. Just make sure you use a food-grade injector and keep the needle away from the bone.

Step 2: The Big Easy Setup

  • Time to get your Big Easy ready for action. Place the fryer on a flat, stable surface and make sure the drip tray is securely in place.
  • Next, insert the charcoal basket and fill it with the recommended amount of charcoal. Don’t skimp on the fuel, you want your turkey to cook evenly and achieve that crispy skin.
  • Light up the charcoal using a chimney starter or lighter fluid. Be careful, safety first!
  • Once the coals are nice and hot, place the cooking pot on top of the fryer. Make sure it’s centered and secure.

Step 3: Let the Turkey Take Flight

  • Carefully place your seasoned turkey into the cooking pot. Make sure the breast side is facing up.
  • Now, here’s the magic: close the lid and let the Big Easy do its thing. The innovative design circulates hot air around the turkey, cooking it to perfection without the need for oil.
  • Depending on the size of your turkey, the cooking time will vary. Generally, it takes about 1-1.5 hours per pound. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • While the turkey cooks, resist the urge to peek! Every time you open the lid, the temperature drops, prolonging the cooking time. Trust the process, and you’ll be rewarded with a juicy bird.

Step 4: The Grand Finale

  • Once the turkey reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the fryer and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.
  • While the turkey rests, prepare your favorite sides and get ready to feast. Don’t forget the gravy!

Bonus Tip: For extra crispy skin, brush the turkey with melted butter or olive oil before putting it in the fryer. You can also add a tablespoon of butter to the bottom of the cooking pot for added flavor.

That’s it, people! You now know how to master the Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer and make a Thanksgiving masterpiece that will make your guests want to come back for more! Remember, cooking should be fun, so relax, experiment, and enjoy the process.

Char Broil The Big Easy Recipes

I’m introducing you to a new ‘toy’ of mine, ‘The Big Easy®’ from CharBroil. You’re gonna have to check out their oil-less turkey fryer. It really is a work of wonder. This method uses natural infrared heat to help seal in the delicious flavors of whatever you’re cooking, but it fries without the need for oil, making it healthier and less expensive (you don’t have to buy oil!).

This large EasyCharbroil isn’t a “grill” in the traditional sense because it doesn’t run on gas, charcoal, or a live fire, but it is still one of the “best grills” out there for outdoor cooking, in my opinion. Here are some of the features of it. You’ll see that it’s got pretty amazing versatility.

  • The Large Easy Roaster Smoker
  • TRU-Infrared technology cooks food evenly and juicy with no flare-ups
  • Cook the meats in the roasting basket evenly, such as the turkey, ribs, and roast.
  • contains 180 square inches of grilling space and 25 pounds of roasting capacity.
  • Use the smoker box; set the temperature between 9,000 and 18,000 BTUs for more flavor.

Now we’re a family who loves cooking outdoors. So, I’m always creating outdoors recipes. When I unpacked the big box for the big easy®charbroil, the guys in my life gathered round like little boys. I mean what guy doesn’t love something to cook with in the great outdoors. A ew toy! Already, the ideas for recipes start swirling in my head, but I know that CharBroil has lots already there for us.

In about an hour, my Big Easy® charcoal grill was connected to the 20-pound propane tank and ready to use! I then had to “season” this attractive Big Easy® Charbroil pot! This was as simple as using a new cast iron skillet for the first time!

The way I wanted to approach this beauty was from our lifestyle. Ben and I are empty-nesters. A lot of our cooking is just for the two of us or small dinner parties. We no longer host large Thanksgiving gatherings or engage in corporate entertaining. Gone are the days when we would deep-fry three or four turkeys for thirty guests—yes, the old-fashioned way. I wanted to make sure that this device would be worthwhile for our small dinner party of four.
