We have been wanting a fryer for Thanksgiving turkeys for a long time but didn’t want to mess with the mess and safety while doing so. We discovered this fryer and immediately purchased. We have used multiple weekends before Thanksgiving ‘22 and once after. We are currently planning to really dive deep into different foods we can cook in this fryer we love it so much! Chickens and turkeys have all turned out amazing! Couldn’t be happier!
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far I've only cooked 2 standing rib roasts, both came out juicy and cooked medium rare the way most of my family likes it!

This was given to me several years ago. The oil less fryer is a breeze to use and everyone loves everything I have cooked in it! I only have one issue. Not with the fryer but I have not been able to find a replacement mesh lid. I have checked several web sites and the only one that even listed it said it was discontinued.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not happy at all.

Quite possibly the worst outdoor cooking item I've ever had. Rushed to find it last Thanksgiving to avoid buying oil for the fryer. Two things; this is not frying by any stretch of the imagination (which I didn't expect it to be), and if the weather is cooler, like when you might expect to cook a turkey, it just won't heat to cook the bird evenly even with a much longer cooking time than expected.
So a couple days ago I see this thing collecting dust in the garage having been used a grand total of 1 time in the 9 months since I bought it, and I get the great idea to cook a couple chickens for dinner. I rub the chickens the night before and the next day I'm ready to go. I calculate that I need about an hour, and when the time comes I hang the chickens one over the other with some skewers so they're not all smashed together.
At the end of the hour I have to say the birds looked pretty fair, if a little well done on the some of the outside. What I found taking them out is that just like with the earlier turkey, the heat doesn't reach all exposed parts of the food evenly leaving some relatively undercooked, rubbery skin, with larger areas looking charred and overdone. I covered and rested them for about an hour while I did other things. at the moment of truth both birds were super juicy, but unevenly cooked with some of the meat from each bird far overdone, and some undercooked and still bleeding!
The major plus I saw was like frying, once your cooking you leave everything alone, but then there's not much choice in that. The other is that if the weather is good, this can save oven space.
For me, I'll stick with rotisserie cooking on my grill since the outcome is similar only more controllable with the grill. After all, "oil-less" frying is really not frying at all and NOT a substitute if that's what you want. For the occasions I want fried turkey, I guess I'll bite the bullet and splurge for the oil.

We're sorry to hear this. Cooking a turkey or chicken in the Big Easy normally takes about eight to ten minutes per pound, but can take a bit longer during colder temperatures. Was the mesh lid used the entire cook? This should only be used around the end of the cook to brown the skin. Using a sugary rub or glaze can also cause the skin to cook faster. Using a meat thermometer will provide the most accurate reading and help to determine when the food is done. Give us a call at 1-800-241-7548 and we will be able to best assist and provide more information.

started at about 10 am. wind was blowing so moved it to another location with no wind. still didn't get hot so moved it to garage. at that point I had lost an hour. in the garage it started to heat up but not never fully cooked. had turkey cooking from 11 am to 7 pm and the turkey never fully cooked. the highest the internal temperature reached was 132°. from my calculations and all the reviews it should have been fully cooked after about 2 hrs. I will never buy this again nor will I recommend this product for anyone. it does not get hot enough to cook a full bird.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We love this fryer! So far we've done a turkey, chicken legs, a Boston butt, ribs, and steak and veggie kabobs, and they've all turned out great! It is easy to use, and cooks evenly and quickly. Be sure to purchase the accessory kit to use the fryer to it's full potential. Clean up is quick and easy!
