Question: Do you have to use the wood chips to smoke the turkey or can you cook the turkey without them?   I don't like smoked poultry.
Document: My turkey came out very well using the Oil-Free Turkey Fryer. It was more like a roasted turkey than a fried one, but it was good and had a slight smoke flavor even though I did not use wood chips to cook it. Over all I was pleased with it .
i ordered this item because i saw a plug. when i see a plug, i think - YAY indoor use. when i opened the box to inspect it because i wanted to try it out, the manual says Outdoor use ONLY. I did not buy this thing to use wood chips. i don't plan to smoke meat, can't i just use this thing indoors without the fear of death??? If I cannot use it indoors, I think I'm going to return it.
I love this turkey &#34;fryer&#34;, but it does not get a crisp skin like a fryer. What I love is not having to deal with the oil. I have made turkeys and chickens. They both come out extremely moist, and with the wood chip tray, just a little smokey flavor adds an excellent taste (note I do not like smoked poultry, this adds just a touch of flavor and is really good).
I did use it once for a ham and had to wing it since there are no recipes available for this unit. I even did a google search for recipes and no luck. When I want to cook something I will have to play the guessing game for the temperature gauge. I did try using the wood chips and a big disappointment, I feel like I wasted a lot of money for something to sit around.
I used to deep fry turkeys, but I got tired of the expense of oil and propane, so I bought this. I've used it for 2 years and I've roasted a combination of turkeys and turkey breasts. It has came out juicy and golden brown every time. I especially like the the tray for smoking wood chips and the glass lid. It's very easy and convenient to use and a snap to clean up.
After debating putting the appliance in the basement as I wasn't using wood chips, opted to do it in the garage as I could foresee grease hitting the open heating element and making a bit of smoke ( which it did). Plugged in unit, oiled the bird with olive oil with fresh rosemary mixed in. Set the turkey in the unit 20 minutes later (at this point there still was a little of that new appliance smell to it) and covered.
The electric turkey fryer is a good choice if you don't want the mess or hazards of using oil for deep frying. For the money it does an okay job of doing nothing more than cooking your turkey and collecting the drippings. All in all, only buy this product if you want to make room in your oven or grill to cook somthing else at the same time. One good thing about this fryer though is the wood chip tray for smoking. It seems to impart good smoke into the meat.
Reviewers are mixing the frying unit without oil with units that use oil. My unit is the smaller one that uses oil.I'm a first time turkey fryer. I used a combination of Goya Adobo and smoked paprika for the seasoning, followed all directions, and the turkey was probably the moistest turkey I've ever had...excellent. The following are some of my observations.Before Cooking:I bought 100% peanut oil from Safeway.
I bought this for myself and liked it so much that I bought it for my father. The turkey is great and I use cherry chips in the smoker tray. I will cook a turkey breast and use it for sandwhich meat. Saves money and is much healthier.
It was like having a deep fried turkey without all the oil! It took awhile to preheat, but after that, it only took 2 hours to cook a 12 pound turkey. We used injector marinade and it was very moist.
Answer: Hi, Shawn,No, you don't have to use the wood chips in the Masterbuilt...I've cooked many turkeys, ducks and chickens in mine without smoking them, and they come out moist and delicious! Smoking is totally optional. Good cooking! Tony
