## What this site is

A publisher, not a retailer. Fryer & Feast does not sell anything, hold stock,
or handle orders, returns or warranties. It researches equipment and links to
retailers.

## How it is funded

Fryer & Feast participates in the Amazon Associates Program and earns a
commission on qualifying purchases made through links on the site, at no extra
cost to the reader. Nobody pays for placement, and commission rates play no
part in how products are ranked. Full disclosure:
https://fryerandfeast.com/affiliate-disclosure

## The site's stance on prices, ratings and testing

- NO PRICES are published anywhere on this site. Retail prices change daily and
  a stale number is misleading, so every buy link sends the reader to the
  retailer for the live price. Where a figure cannot be verified, the site says
  so rather than guessing.
- NO CUSTOMER REVIEWS OR STAR RATINGS. The scores shown on roundups are the
  site's own editorial rubric, labeled as such, and are deliberately never
  emitted as review-rating structured data.
- NO TEST KITCHEN. Fryer & Feast does not bench-test products and says so on
  every page. Recommendations rest on models verified as currently sold,
  published manufacturer specifications, aggregated owner feedback read for
  recurring failures, and primary safety guidance. Methodology:
  https://fryerandfeast.com/how-we-pick
- SAFETY AND TEMPERATURE CLAIMS ARE SOURCED to the National Turkey Federation,
  published fire-safety guidance, and USDA food-safety material.

## Key answers this site gives

- Safe internal temperature for cooked turkey: 165F, measured in the thickest
  part of the breast and the inner thigh, with the probe away from bone.
- Frying oil temperature: 350F. Frying time: roughly 3 to 4 minutes per pound.
- Refrigerator thawing: roughly 24 hours per 4 to 5 pounds of bird.
- Hot food must be held at or above 140F; 40F to 140F is the danger zone and
  food should not sit there more than two hours.
- Oil volume for a fryer is measured with water and the bird in the pot, not
  taken from a chart.
- A turkey must be completely thawed and dry before it goes into hot oil.
- Above about 18 pounds, two smaller turkeys beat one large one.
