Use and Care Guide

1
This stockpot is designed tall and narrow so that it can be used for frying whole turkeys while minimizing
the use of cooking oil. However, safely inserting and removing a whole turkey from a tall stockpot requires
a low profile cooker frame.
WARNING
Do not fry whole turkeys on cookers taller than 14" (inches) high. Use of a tall stockpot on a tall
cooker frame increases the risk of tipping and spillage of hot cooking oil when inserting or removing
a turkey, which could result in a flash fire and severe burns.
This stockpot can be used for frying whole turkeys on high pressure gas cookers having a pressure output
ranging from 5 psi to 10 psi (Pounds per square inch).
WARNING
• Do not fry whole turkeys on outdoor gas cookers having a pressure rating above 10psi.
Frying with this stockpot on gas cookers having a pressure rating above 10psi can accelerate the
possibility of overheating cooking oil to the point of spontaneous combustion and fire.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO CONSUMER
In addition to regular cooking, this stockpot can be used for frying whole turkeys or chickens on outdoor
gas cookers. It can be used on most brands of outdoor gas cookers which have far greater heat output
than traditional kitchen stoves. Same as kitchen stoves, outdoor gas cookers do not have automatic
thermostat controls so must be attended and monitored at all times during use. Never attempt frying
whole turkeys or chickens on indoor kitchen stoves.
Carefully read, understand and follow these instructions and warnings along with those on your cooker.
If you no longer have your cooker instruction manual, in most cases one can be downloaded from the
brand’s website. If you do not have or cannot obtain your cooker instruction manual, this manual does
contain generic gas cooker instructions and warnings. If you are unsure or have doubts about how to
properly ignite and operate your gas cooker, then do not attempt any form of outdoor cooking or frying!
