It is also a good implement to make a large pot of stew for a large crowd
when the appropriate kitchen is not available.

Also perfect for boiling lobsters and crabs and such. However, the
best and highest raison d'etre for a turkey fryer is for homebrewing
beer. You can bring 6 gallons of wort to a violent boil in about
10-15 minutes, as opposed to about 60-90 minutes on the kitchen stove.

who has three, count 'em, three, Brinkmann turkey fryers out on the
porch, awaiting reincarnation as a three-tier brewery.
