easy electric pasteurization on a countertop

Hippie3 · 05-31-06, 10:58

ok, couple years ago i bought an electric deep fryer to cook my thanksgiving turkey
real nice unit from masterbuilt

Quote:

The Masterbuilt Turk-N-Surf Deluxe Turkey Fryer is a deep fryer deep enough to fry a 14 pound turkey, wide enough to prepare a Low Country seafood boil, and versatile enough to steam vegetables and even twenty ears of corn. This is an indoor electric deep fryer/turkey fryer that brings unmatched convenience to the enjoyment of frying, boiling, and steaming...
There are several deep fryers / turkey fryers available on the market, however many pose a risk such as combustion due to lack of thermostat control and overheating lids and pots, thus causing severe burns. We have found this Electric Deep Fryer / Turkey Fryer by Masterbuilt is safer than the propane fueled fryers and delivers best results!

Product Features:

28-qt. aluminum
Adjustable thermostat
Perforated basket with draining clip and bailing handle
Illuminated On/Off switch
"Ready" cook light
Breakaway power cord
Stainless steel heating element
Glass lid with cool-grip handle
Turkey Tap (TM)
Lifting hook
Tested to UL 1083 Standard

anyway i got to thinking
and realized it makes a great pasteurizing device.
the thermostat allows one to dial in the desired temperature.
and the timer keeps track of how long it's been going.

one can just fill it with water
instead of oil
when pasteurizing
and they sell for under $100

safety listed by UL laboratories too.

when done pasteurizing,
the deep fried turkey kicks ass!

a true multi-purpose device
well worth getting, imo.

so i'll shoot a few pix to show the unit in action.

Damn good idea there Hipster!

Hippie3 · 05-31-06, 18:58

water is heating to 160*F now

synth · 05-31-06, 19:04

how long's that unit typically take
to heat the water up?

what about oil?
(enough for a turkey
or perhaps some wings? =D )

Hippie3 · 05-31-06, 19:21

the water heated up very fast
esp. since i filled to the FILL LINE
with straight hot tap water,
i'd say 10-15 minutes before the thermostat shut it down,
i'm fine tuning the temp now
as it's a bit high ATM

now it takes considerably longer for turkey/oil,
about 45-60 minutes or so to hit the spot.

Hippie3 · 05-31-06, 19:59

ok,
candy thermometer says i'm running about 160*F
give or take 5 degrees as it cycles.
tested Glad ziplock [freezer bag] and it seems to
handle the temp ok
so it's on!

This would be a great topic to discuss with the inlaws over thanksgiving dinner...

troutlips · 05-31-06, 20:38

Pretty cool Hip.
I use a turkey roaster,another electric appliance.
I load my substrate in a pillowcase and keep it submerged with bricks.
The temp control is not accurate, but you can adjust for that as the light goes out when the element kicks out.
No timer though.

That would be handy.

Hippie3 · 05-31-06, 20:42

um,
that is not designed to hold water,
is it ?

troutlips · 05-31-06, 20:48

Yes, actually it has a removable inner container.

Hippie3 · 05-31-06, 20:49

i still dunno though if i'd trust it...

the masterbuilt liner
is also removable .
even has a drain spigot, handy.

Hippie3 · 05-31-06, 20:55

just passed the 1 hour mark
ziplocks are still intact
everything looks
perfect.

going to cycle it 3 hours in all
just to ensure
full penetration of the manure.

deep fried turkey is delicious. I just recently purchased one of those outdoor propane turkey fryer things. Mmmm.

Yesterday I used my turkey frier to pasturize some straw. I let it hang on my patio in order to drain.
