What is the cooking time vs frying, frying being 3.5 min per pound?

Best way to do your Turkey is to insert an electronic thermometer, and cover the breast side up with aluminum foil.

Roughly 9 min. cooking time. But take into consideration the time spent measuring the oil, drying the bird, heating the oil, cooling the oil and putting it away. Also after a few uses you have to get rid of the oil. I deep fried birds for years so I know the deal. The charbroil just has to be lit chuck the bird in and forget about it. No worries. Comes out just as good .Plus you can add smoke if you want. I use my frier now to make large batches of chilly or brew beer. Cheers

10-12 minutes per pound but there is no preheating time required. Having done deep fried and using the Big Easy, Total time is about the same.

If it isn't too big... But it cooks very quickly so I find it is never a problem needing to make two or three batches... I love this fryer..

I THINK the longer automatic pressure release time helps...and in reading found that adding 5 minutes to cooking time was helpful. you can also add some cooking time after you check for doneness with a thermometer. I like mine a lot, nut it is the first one I ever used and have no prior experience to compare it with.

Depending on what you are frying keep the level between max and min. A turkey will take up more space than a handful of french frys so the level will need to be adjusted accordingly. I've used it for frying pastries and it takes the 2.5 gallons.

Each basket holds about 1-1/2 pounds of fries total of 3 pounds cooks in about 4 minutes

We bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law and she has not cooked a turkey in it yet. However she did look at the recipe guide that came with the roaster and it does indicate that the amount of cooking minutes per pound is the same as a regular oven. I hope this helps!

The cooking time is some what longer than advertised. An omelet tales a little over 2 minutes.

It takes about 12 minutes. 5 minutes for preheat and 7 for the burgers. Light will be yellowish orange for medium and it also beeps to let you know.

To be absolutely safe we never use more than 8 quarts (produce/meats + liquid) when used as a pressure cooker. As a pressure fryer, it'll take 3.5 quarts of oil/shortning/lard and a large cut-up frying chicken.

We cooked a 23 lbs bird last year. Go by the cookers direction on time. The cooker says to go by the birds cooking time but our bird was done as per the cookers instruction about 3 to 3.5 hours. Be careful too the outside gets very hot to the touch. The bigger bird requires aluminum foil between the bird and the sides to keep from burning to wings

I would say approximately 20 to 25 minutes depending on how many cups you are cooking. I usually cook 2 cups.

375 degrees F. I've used it over the past year several times. My last fish fry was about a week ago. Still heats to 375. Has a light that lets you know when it reaches the desired temp. At 375 it only takes 3 mins to cook approx. 4 fish filets, and you don't have to turn them over. Sweet.

3 hours. I cooked a pork shoulder 8 lbs for 2 hours 40 minutes. That wasn't enough. It needed at least 30 more minutes. Hope that helps! Enjoy!

We really like it use it about 2 or 3 times a week. We have found you need to add more time. So I cook about 3 - 3:15.

Very good fryer but not pressure fryer, as other posts have stated as well. I would buy same again as well. Nor is it junk, in my opinion. I'm a southern cook. Chicken, fish, hushpuppies, green tomatoes, you name it, you fry it, I've fried it in this. I would LIKE a 400 + temp but you're not going to find it. It's a nice fryer.

The little booklet has recipes and there's recipes all over the web. It is pretty much the same length of time (either cut up or whole bird) as it takes in conventional oven perhaps a little less. My 2 dishes, chicken breasts and a 6 lb +/- roaster took the thighs a little more time, he was a huge roaster, the breasts came out very juicy and good. Working my way into more complicated dishes. Good luck.
