We really love this gizmo--getting the crispy skin without boiling in oil is our main goal, and the meat stays very moist. Takes lots less time, too. We do two small (12-pound) turkeys when we have a bunch of folks. Frees up the oven, too. from Amazon.com Really skeptical. I passed this in a store and thought "nice idea but no way". I've been deep frying my turkeys for years and love the results, but I have grown less tolerant of the cost and hassle of using all that oil so when the holidays approached I remembered this thing and read a few reviews. What I read was mostly favorable and after using it I am convinced that people who've experienced poor results are doing something wrong. from Amazon.com I received this as a gift and was very skeptical as to how well it would work. Before I aquired it, I was impressed by everything but the fact it didn't use oil (no belief it would taste good). Well, all the stuff like drippings, no oil to store, easy use/storage, ability to use rubs, etc. were right on. from Amazon.com Took 30 seconds. I was also careful to remove the heavy metal mesh lid when my desired browness was reached. If I handed that turkey to you on a platter, you'd say "I just love deep fried turkey!", except, it wasn't fried. Skin was perfectly browned, perfectly crisp and tasty. from Amazon.com We have been "Deep Frying" turkeys in oil for nearly two decades and I must say that the "Big Easy" is an AWESOME piece of equipment! We received a call from a friend in Cajun country and he told us that we should buy the Big Easy. from Amazon.com We bought the Big Easy and used it to cook a 15 lb turkey for Thanksgiving and boy was it easy!. We prepared the turkey with an olive oil and seasoning rub and then just pit in in the basket and into the cooker. from Amazon.com Turkey turned out not bad. But it's not that much less cooking time than a fryer, and the name is *totally* misleading. from Amazon.com We apprehensivley purchased one of these things for Thanksgiving this year because we love fried Turkey but hate the clean-up. Frying with oil, while dangerous if your not intelligent enough to pay attention to what you're doing, tastes sooo good and cooks MUCH faster than a conventional oven. from Amazon.com I Picked up one of these on a whim on a sunday afternoon 11/9/2008. Brought it home, assembled it (took about an hour), and read the recipe book. Next morning, I went out and bought a new propane tank, had it filled, and bought a fresh turkey (14.59 lbs). I opened and washed the bird, dried it, brushed it with olive oil, sprinkled with some cracked pepper and some poultry seasoning, put it in the cage, inserted the thermometer, and had it going at 1:00pm on monday afternoon. from Amazon.com It's a small cylindrical propane-fired oven. Not a fryer. Frying by definition uses oil. from Amazon.com
