This product is designed for cooking food. In addition to regular cooking, this stockpot is speciﬁcally designed for

deep frying whole turkeys or chickens on an outdoor gas cooker. Follow these instructions for proper use and care:

• Before using for the ﬁrst time, wash this stockpot and accessories with hot soapy water. Dry immediately to

prevent water spots.

• Be certain that any companion gas cooker used with this cookware has a ﬂat surface wide enough to support the

diameter of the pot. Flames should not extend up the side when cooking.

• To prevent scratches, avoid using sharp utensils with your pot.

• Clean cookware thoroughly inside and outside after each use. Always wash your pot with hot soapy water and

thoroughly dry it. HAND WASH ONLY!

• Never store liquids in cooking vessels. Salt and seasoning will weaken the integrity of the pot.

• Scouring pads, abrasive cleansers, or similar products will result in scratching the ﬁnish. No matter what,

scratches and stains will result from use. If desired, apply a non-abrasive cleaner with a soft cloth or sponge to

minimize the discoloration. However, an ugly ﬁnish will not affect the function of the pot.

• Overheating may cause food to scorch and stick to cookware.

• Cooking with large quantities of salt or acidic foods is very corrosive. It will discolor the pot and can cause pits

to form. To reduce the chance of this occurring, add salt after water begins to boil, and always wash and dry the

pot thoroughly after every use.

• Do not store this pot, or any of its components, in a corrosive environment. A corrosive environment can be a

highly damp area, or a saltwater/marine environment.

• After cooking, allow the pot to cool gradually. Pouring cold water in a hot pot can cause it to warp.

• If a pot has not been used for an extended period of time, it is a good idea to boil some water in it to sanitize

and check for any leaks caused by imperceptible pitting.

• If any part or component of this product appears damaged or inaccurate, DO NOT USE. Contact Barbour

International, Inc. for a replacement part.

SAFETY

DANGER

• Always fry with this cooking vessel OUTDOORS:

A. Never fry a turkey within 10 ft/3 m of any structure or combustible material.

B. Never fry a turkey within 25 ft/7.5 m of any ﬂammable liquid.

C. Never fry a turkey in or on a boat or recreational vehicle.

D. Do not fry on or under any apartment or condominium balcony or deck.

• Heated liquids remain at scalding temperatures long after the cooking process. Never

touch or move a stockpot until liquids have cooled to 115°F/45°C or less. Cool down

periods will vary with environment.

• Sober adult operation ONLY! Use of alcohol, prescription or nonprescription drugs may

impair ability to properly and safely operate this product.

• Do not use this cooking vessel for anything other than its intended purpose.

• Do not use a gas cooker with this cooking vessel that is not functioning properly according

to manufacturer’s speciﬁcations as outlined in its owner’s manual.

• Keep children and pets away from the cooking area at all times.

• When cooking with oil or grease, have a type BC or ABC ﬁre extinguisher readily

available. A proper ﬁre extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the ﬁre. DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH AN OIL/GREASE FIRE WITH WATER. Immediately call the ﬁre

department.

• In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other forms of precipitation while cooking, cover

the cooking vessel immediately and turn off the companion outdoor gas cooker. Do not

attempt to move the appliance or cooking vessel.

• All food products MUST be completely thawed before cooking. Failure to completely thaw

and dry foods may cause oil or grease to overﬂow.

• Never overﬁll the cooking vessel. Follow instructions in this manual for establishing proper

liquid levels for cooking.

• Never allow oil or grease to get hotter than 400°F/200°C. If the temperature exceeds

400°F/200°C, or if cooking oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the burner or gas

supply OFF and STOP COOKING IMMEDIATELY.

• Do not use a lid when pre-heating or cooking with oil. Using a lid when frying greatly

increases the potential of over-heating the oil to ignition and ﬁre.

• Do not place an empty cooking vessel on the cooker while in operation. The pot bottom

can warp or melt.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in ﬁre, explosion or burn

hazard that could cause property damage, personal injury or death.

A. Make certain the whole turkey is completely thawed and dried. The USDA

recommends thawing 24 hours (1 day) for every 4-5 pounds in a refrigerator.

B. Remove all plastic wrapping, plastic truss that holds the legs, and plastic

pop-up timer (if applicable).

C. Remove neck and giblets from body cavity.

D. Trim excess skin and fat away from neck creating a wide and clear opening for

circulating oil to ﬂow. Also, make a 1-in/25mm incision into the skin at the

leg-thigh joints. This allows for oil to better drain.

E. Season turkey. There are two major steps:

Season the turkey meat from the inside by injecting a marinade. A seasoning

injector has been provided with this stockpot. Inject the marinade at various

points all over the turkey to even out the seasoning. (Figure 1)

Season the exterior with spices or batter. Make sure to evenly coat the entire

turkey, and remove any excess before moving to the next step.

F. Place turkey onto poultry rack with legs pointing up. (Figure 2)

• Set up an OUTSIDE cooking area at least 10 ft/3m away from any structure or

combustible material. Be mindful of the wind direction.

• After properly lighting the gas cooker, place the pot ﬁlled with oil carefully on the

cooker. Conﬁrm the pot is centered and stable. Attach thermometer to pot or basket,

making certain the stem is immersed at least 1-in/25mm into the oil. (Figure 3)

• Heat the oil to 350°F/177°C. Heat up times will vary and can take several minutes

depending on type of oil, volume, and environmental conditions.

• Turn ﬂame down to low. Wearing gloves, S-L-O-W-L-Y lower the turkey into the oil

using the lift hook provided. You should expect a furious boil to occur as soon as the

turkey touches the hot oil. You will also notice the temperature will drop once adding

the food into the oil. (Figure 4)

• Adjust ﬂame to maintain an oil temperature of 325°F to 350°F (163°C to 177°C).

• Cooking time will vary with the size of the turkey. It is recommended to cook all poultry

to an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C. A general formula for determining the

amount of cooking time is 3.5 minutes per pound.

Example: 25 lbs./11.36 Kg Turkey (3.5 minutes x 25 lbs. = 87.5 minutes to fully cook)

*A thermometer for checking the internal temperature is not supplied with this stockpot.

Please contact Barbour International, Inc. for more information.

• When cooking is complete, turn cooker OFF and carefully remove turkey and rack

using the lift hook.

• Allow turkey to drain on absorbent paper for 10-15 minutes before serving.

These basic guidelines discuss frying a whole turkey, but can be adapted for any size poultry:

• Instructions for determining the maximum ﬁll level when using a vessel without a maximum ﬁll line:

A. Place the food product on the holder.

B. Place the food product and holder into the empty vessel.

C. Fill vessel with water just until the food product is completely submerged. There must be a minimum of

3 in/8 cm between the water level and top of the vessel.

D. Remove the food product from the vessel and either mark the water level on the side of the vessel or

measure the amount of water in the vessel.

E. Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product.

F. This is the amount of liquid the vessel is to be ﬁlled with to cook the food product.

• Use these instructions to prepare the food product:

DEEP FRYING A TURKEY

THERMOMETER TEST

While wearing a protective glove, hold the thermometer by the dial

and insert the stem into boiling water. The needle should quickly move

around the dial and register approximately 212°F/100°C (plus or

minus 5°F/2.78°C). This indicates whether or not the temperature

reading is accurate.

FAULTY THERMOMETER

Do not attempt to use a thermometer if it is not working properly.

Contact Barbour International, Inc. to replace a faulty thermometer

with Model #5025.

PLACEMENT OF THERMOMETER

• Set the clip at least 2-in/50mm below the dial.

• Attach the thermometer to the side of the pot or basket.

• Insert the needle at least 1-in/25mm into the oil.

THERMOMETER

A 12-inch fry thermometer is provided with this stockpot. Always use a thermometer when frying any food products.

A thermometer is a sensitive measuring device which may not work properly if dropped, bent, or twisted. Always

check to be sure the thermometer is working properly before frying. Follow these instructions for proper use:

• Never insert the stem of the thermometer into food. This will cause an incorrect temperature

reading.

• Regardless of the thermometer reading, if oil/grease starts to smoke, STOP COOKING

IMMEDIATELY. The thermometer is not working properly and must be discarded and replaced.
