re: Advice needed: turkey frying pot

It’s a requirement in the cooking industry for any fryer not certified as a “turkey fryer” to have that warning statement on the box.

For a unit to be sold as a turkey fryer it has to include extra safety accessories such as a gas shutoff feature such as a timer, pot with fill lines, etc…

There is nothing preventing you from using it as a turkey fryer other than the statement.

If you burn down your house though your insurance and the manufacturer have an out so just make sure you know what you are doing.
