It is a risky endeavor to deep fry when it is either rainy or snowy outside. This is because if snow or rain falls into hot grease, it will end up creating hot steam or spatters which can lead to severe burns. For this reason, only, you should never put a frozen turkey in your fryer. Make sure your turkey is thawed and dry. You shouldn’t consider locating your fryer inside a garage or a carport where any small flare-up can ignite an entire house fire. It’s a better option to use the oven when your fryer doesn’t cooperate.
