CDN IRL500 Long Stem Fry Thermometer – 12″

For absolutely delicious, tender turkey or other poultry, try deep-frying, a “new” method that has been used in the South for decades. The result is a bird that is juicy but has no greasy taste. Speed is another bonus— a 14-pound turkey typically cooks in an hour or less. The more oil that is used, the less the oil temperature will drop when the turkey is added. The simple secret to properly deep-frying is to use a sufficient amount of oil, at the proper temperature, and cook for the correct time. The IRL500 allows you to make sure that the proper oil temperature is maintained. This thermometer can be used with any size deep fry kettle. From meats to chocolate, the oven or the freezer, whatever you need a temperature reading on, CDN has the thermometer for the task. Featuring advanced technology, quality construction, easy-to-read displays and user-friendly operations, CDN thermometers are essential tools in any kitchen. CDN covers the thermometer with a five-year limited warranty.Popular in Southern cooking for decades, deep-fried whole turkey is gaining a national audience. When cooked properly it’s delicious, juicy, and has no greasy taste. Each fry kettle has its own instructions, but generally for best results the oil should first be heated to between 375 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and after the bird is added, maintained at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. With its adjustable stainless-steel clip, this 12-inch-long thermometer is ideal for attaching to any size vat or kettle to monitor oil temperature. Large and easy-to-read, the 2-inch dial registers temperatures ranging from 100 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and can be left in after cooking is complete to ensure the oil has completely cooled. A 14-pound bird usually cooks in approximately 45 minutes. The protective sheath for the thermometer features a pocket clip and loop to conveniently hold the probe. Since a large amount of hot oil is required, turkeys and other poultry should always be deep-fried outdoors. A five-year warranty covers the thermometer against defects.–Ann Bieri
