Product Description
No one disputes the delicious flavor of a deep-fried turkey, but stories of house fires and near misses can discourage even the biggest fried turkey fan. Enter the Masterbuilt Butterball indoor turkey fryer, an electric fryer that's so safe it's certified to operate indoors, on your kitchen countertop, any time of year. The Butterball features a one-of-a-kind design that's engineered to keep you safe. Not only do the stainless-steel fryer and porcelain-coated inner pot keep oil safely contained, but it also uses 33 percent less oil than conventional fryers. As a result, you can cook turkeys as large as 14 pounds safely and efficiently, with little threat of oil boiling over the sides.
Open the lid to watch your turkey cook through the viewing window. (View larger).Powerful and Attractive
The stainless-steel fryer looks great in a modern kitchen, as it complements most kitchen appliances and countertop materials. Chefs might even want to leave it on display when it's not in use. For convenience, the Butterball includes a window for turkey monitoring. Simply fold back the lid for easy access and you can watch your turkey cook to a perfect crisp.
The good looks accompany a powerful 1,650-watt electric heating element that heats up the oil in less than 30 minutes. Using the sturdy turkey basket, you can cook a 14-pound turkey in only four minutes per pound--less than an hour of cooking time. Masterbuilt also added a drain clip to the fry basket. With the drain clip, you can hang the basket on the side of the fryer while the turkey drains and cools. The clip makes it easy to move the turkey to a serving platter without making a huge oily mess.
The fryer cooks turkeys as large as 14 pounds. (View larger).No Ordinary Turkey Fryer
Operating the Butterball couldn't be easier. Simply set the cooking temperature via the user-friendly control panel, then set the built-in digital timer to track the cooking time. A green ready light will come on when the oil is heated and the fryer is ready for use. After you lower the turkey into the oil, the timer will beep to let you know when it's done. The fryer even includes a couple of extra safety controls, including a thermostat control to keep the temperature steady (up to 375 degrees F) and an automatic shutoff function that activates when the cooking temperature gets too high.
The Butterball isn't just for turkeys. You can prepare an endless variety of foods in the fryer--from hot wings and fried fish to corndogs and fries for the kids. You can also fill the fryer with water to steam or even boil your favorite dish. Other options include inviting the whole family over for a large low-country boil, steaming fresh crab legs for two, or even trying your hand at frying desserts like doughnuts, apple turnovers, and fried ice cream.
Additional turkey fryer highlights include a built-in filter to reduce cooking odors, a drain valve for easy cleaning, a hideaway storage compartment, and a space-saving design that takes up minimal space on the counter. The fryer measures 15.7 by 14.2 by 14.6 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day limited warranty.
The stainless-steel fryer is one of three fryers in the Butterball indoor fryer series. Also available are a black-finished fryer with the same capacity as the stainless model and an extra-large fryer that handles turkeys up to 20 pounds.
Editor’s note: The power cord on this model has a hideaway storage compartment that can be tricky to find. Additionally, the control panel is correctly attached when the heating element is positioned inside the inner pot and fully immersed in cooking oil or water during use.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have read some reviews that were negative saying an electric fryer will not properly fry a turkey. To those I say "cow pies". Regardless of the means the oil is heated, it is important that once the food (turkey or anything else being fried) is placed in the oil, the oil must be brought back to the correct temperature quickly. This fryer was able to accomplish that and I verified it using a KINTREX IRT0421 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Targeting .
Because the Peanut Oil is so expensive I decided against applying a poultry rub to the inside and outside of the turkey and relied on the flavor solution that Butterball injects into the turkey. I was afraid the rub might contaminate or flavor the oil and I intend to reuse the oil for other fried foods until it needs to be disposed of. I used a funnel with a strainer and some cheesecloth stuffed between the strainer and the spout to filter the oil as it was drained into plastic containers. To preserve the quality of the oil before the next use it should be refrigerated. However, this time of the year in the midwest the temperature is cold enough that containers can be placed in an unheated garage or storage building with no degradation of the product. The extension drain provided on the Masterbuilt fryer makes it very easy to drain the oil out of the fryer, through the funnel and into plastic containers. Only do this when the oil has cooled.
The fryer uses an immersion heating element inside the oil pot which can react more quickly to temperature changes than can an element imbedded in the cooking vessel. There is an analog temperature control ranging from "min" to "max". Again using the Kintrex thermometer, I was able to determine that max on mine was 385 degrees vs. the advertised 375 degrees. When cooking it is important to keep the lid closed as much as possible for a couple of reasons. First, it will help keep the oil from splashing out during the cooking process and secondly, it will help keep the heat in and allow the temperature to recover to the set temperature more quickly. The lid's unique design includes a steam vent and an aluminum mesh oil filter. On one side there is a removable panel that gives you access to the oil drain valve and also holds the power cord and oil drain extension when not in use. Also included is a seperate handle to attach to the fry basket making it easier to lower the basket into or lift it from the hot oil. Lastly, there is a small digital timer which is nothing more than a timer, it will not shut off the power when the cooking time is finished. I chose to use a better quality kitchen timer in the house. The lid, filter screen, and fry basket fit in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. Do Not put the heating element into the dishwasher, it must be hand washed and not immersed in water.
If I am so pleased with the way it worked why four stars? Here is why I found it to be less than perfect. The power cord is very short and the manufacturer states not to use an extension cord. This made it impossible for me to use in the garage although I probably could have taken it to my tool/storage shed and set it up on my work bench. I finally set it up on the patio since no rain or snow was expected. Having such a short cord severely limits it's versatility. My second reason is for semantics. This is by no means a professional or commercial fryer, it uses a "commercial style" immersion heating element but that's where the similarity stops. It is nothing more than a larger than average home fryer. Next is the word "indoor". The manual recommends that the fryer be used in the garage or on a covered patio, not in the house. I would agree unless you want your house to smell like hot oil for several weeks. Plus, there is a lot of oily steam that comes out which would settle out on cabinets, walls, and any indoor surface. Lastly, although it is sold as a fryer for up to 14 lb. turkeys, they recommend using nothing larger than 10-12 lbs.
My final comment and my reason for buying an electric fryer: Using this I don't need to worry about a huge pot of oil over an open flame on a flimsy stand. Every year there are people who have burned down their homes using a propane fryer and I'm sure countless more fires went unreported. The Masterbuilt fryer is a good and safe product that I plan to use for years to come.
Recommended accessories: cooking thermometer and leather bbq gloves (to protect your hands and arms when lowering or removing the cooking basket).
Happy Frying!
