Seen the informmercial for this deep fryer yet?
Note the size of the so-called turkey in this
infommercial. At first I thought it was just
nuts to be marketing a device for deep frying
a turkey, especially indoors. You'd be inviting
lawsuits from all the people whose houses you
burned down.

But the so-called turkey is about the size of
an average chicken. This isn't really a dangerous
machine, because it's so small.

I'm surprised Butterball would lend their name
to this ridiculous device. It's like Nikon
allowing their name to be used on a disposable
cardboard-and-plastic camera.

I've never saw a 14-pound chicken. Are those from the Amazon or
from Hawaii?

The act of feeding someone is an act of beauty,
whether it's a full Sunday roast or a jam sandwich,
but only when done with love.

Costco has them. The box claims it can handle a 20 lb turkey.

I'm sure these are perfectly safe. Don't they use food grade propane?

Why fry when you can just blow torch the turkey with the new
Butterball Food Grade Propane Torch? Works on turkeys up to 28
pounds. Works on other kinds of "turkeys" too.

I knew that. It was a joke. Note the smiley.

I've heard of "killer arguments", but this is ridiculous!

I believe that this product does in fact exist. I don't remember
whether it is used regularly. The point was that you don't burn it, it
is an ingredient in producing some weird kind of food product.

> Now it's a running joke for practically anything he posts

Which is why I stuck it in. I just couldn't resist, even though I knew
this thing was electric.

Oh dear........ seems spurtz has lost its cognitive function in that last
beating it took.

"Finton reports that food grade propane is GRAS (generally recognized as
safe) by the FDA. The gas does not leave residue and is easy to remove
from food and recycle."

Oh dear...... another "Oops" moment for the (x)spurt.


X is an unknown quantity, and 'spurt' is a drip under pressure.

As usual, you stilldon't have a clue what's going on. The
conversation was about burning it an oven or grill. Not using it
as an additive for food.

How many time would you like to smear that egg all over your face
for being a putz? Lets not forget that foodbanter thread and the
dead Indian children you (and Om) are clueless about as well.

Dude, you'll never show me up.

Yes, you are right. Th conversation was about weather it was used
in the home or restaurant, in the oven or grill. Not as a food
additive. But no, it does not exist in the home or retail setting.

I wonder where Mark went again? I guess he's scouring the earth
for a 6-lb turkey fryer.

On the contrary, I proved it existsj with citations
to the USDA, Cargill, etc.

It was Bob's defense, after I totally discredited his
original assertion that it did not exist, that you
couldn't buy it. That was his weasel backup position.
I never said it was easy to buy, just that it does
exist and any other fuel gas should not be applied
directly to food because of the contaminants it contains.
