Too much grease in your fryer will cause a fire.

Thanksgiving is a little over a week away – preparations for the perfect Thanksgiving feast will soon be underway.  If you have plans to deep fry your Turkey this year, follow these tips and safety guidelines to assure your Thanksgiving feast goes off without a hitch.

• Use a Turkey fryer outside ONLY – away from your home and flammable items.
• Never fry you Turkey frozen. Follow the instructions on your Turkey for thawing time.
• Don’t overflow your grease – always allow for room for your bird.
• Use cooking gloves.
• Instruct your children to stay away from the fryer and keep your pets inside and away from your fryer.
• Keep a multipurpose – dry powered fire extinguisher on hand and NEVER use water to cool down a grease fire.
• Never leave your fryer unattended while cooking

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving Holiday.
