OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
RECIPES  
Step 1  
ONION STRAW BLOSSOM  
Mount control panel and element onto bracket on outer shell (see Fig. A on pg. 3).  
Oil for frying  
1/2 cup sour cream  
1/4 cup chunky salsa  
2 large (12 ounces each) white or Vidalia onions  
3/4 cup all-purpose flour  
2 tbsp Mexican Chili Powder  
1 tablespoon garlic salt  
1 tsp black pepper  
1 cup all-purpose flour  
1/4 cup cornstarch  
1 tsp salt  
Step 2  
Add oil or water to the MIN (1 gallon) or MAX (approx.2 gallons) fill line (see pg. 7).  
Note: Unit uses approximately 2 gallons of oil when frying a turkey.  
Step 3  
Attach power cord to control panel (see Fig. B on pg. 3). Plug power cord into an  
outlet (refer to “Warnings & Important Safeguards” section of manual). Power light  
will illuminate indicating the unit is plugged in and element is mounted correctly to  
the mounting bracket.  
1 (12-ounce) non-alcoholic beer  
Step 4  
Turn dial to set temperature. Ready light will illuminate when unit has reached set  
temperature and is ready for use.  
Preheat oil to 375º F(191°C) in electric fryer. For sauce, combine sour cream and salsa in a small bowl. Refrigerate until  
serving. To make onion flower, peel onions and cut 3/4 inch off the top of each onion. Trim, but do not cut off root end.  
Cut each onion into quarters from the top to 1/2 inch from root end. Then cut each quarter section into 4 thin wedges,  
cutting to within 1/2 inch from root end. Using a sharp knife, remove some of the center petals, careful not to cut through  
the bottom. Discard center petals. Carefully spread the remaining petals apart. Place the 3/4 cup flour, chili powder,  
garlic salt, and pepper in a large heavy-duty plastic bag; add onion, shaking to coat. Shake off excess flour mixture.  
Repeat with remaining onion. Whisk the 1 cup flour, cornstarch, salt, and beer in a medium bowl until smooth. Dip onions  
in beer mixture, moving so onions are thoroughly coated. Drain to remove excess coating. Using a long-handled slotted  
spoon or wire basket, lower one onion, root-end side down, into hot oil. Fry about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown  
and onion is tender. Drain on wire rack. Spoon sauce into center of onion; serve immediately.

optimum performance, completely pre-heat unit to cooking temperature before frying or boiling foods. Keep lid CLOSED  
during pre-heating and cooking. This will reduce heating time and keep temperature more consistent.  
Preheat fryer to 250°F(121°C) for boiling. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact. Cook scallops for 1-3 minutes or  
until they turn opaque. Cook shrimp for 1-3 minutes or until they turn pink. Do not combine yet. Drain, and rinse under  
cold water. Drain well. Place shrimp and scallops in a plastic bag set into a deep bowl. For marinade, combine  
grapefruit peel, grapefruit juice, salad oil, Green onion, sweet pepper, vinegar, honey, anise seeds, cinnamon, and ½ tsp  
salt. Pour over seafood, seal bag Refrigerate for 2-24 hours turning bag occasionally. To serve, drain seafood mixture,  
discarding marinade. Gently combine seafood, pineapple, grapefruit sections, and orange sections. Serve in cocktail  
cups or glasses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  
HOW TO FRY A TURKEY IN THE  
R
BUTTERBALL ELECTRIC TURKEY FRYER  
Why won’t my turkey fryer turn on?  
The Control Panel features a “Safety Switch” that must be mounted properly on the mounting bracket of the  
outer shell for unit to power on (see pg.3). Power light will illuminate when control panel is mounted correctly.  
DEEP FRIED WHOLE TURKEY  
A 10-12lb (4.5-5.4kgs) turkey is recommended. However, you can deep fry up to a 14 lb (6.35kgs)  
Fig. A  
turkey in this unit. DO NOT EXCEED 14 lb (6.35kgs).  
How much oil do I need to use?  
Fryer will require approximately 2 gallons (7.6L) of oil max. The MAX fill line is the maximum amount of liquid  
that can safely be used in this unit. Filling to the line is more than enough water or oil to prepare most food in  
this (see pg. 7). Oil may not cover top of turkey breast. It is not necessary to add more oil, the breast will cook  
through completely during frying.  
Frozen turkeys that are to be used for deep frying should be thoroughly defrosted 35°- 40°F(1.6°- 4.4°C).  
The turkey must be rinsed on the outside and in the cavities with warm water or soaked in a warm  
water bath for no more than 30 minutes to remove any possibility of remaining ice crystals and then  
dried thoroughly with paper towels before immersing in hot oil. This will reduce splatter.  
What type of oil should I use?  
Peanut oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher smoke point but any common cooking oil may  
be used.  
THAWING TURKEY  
Allow approximately 24 hours for every 4lbs (1.8kgs) of turkey thawed in the refrigerator.  
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Insure that the turkey is completely thawed and free of ice and water. Remove neck and giblet bag. Pay  
special attention to inner cavity area when checking for ice or water.  
2. Fill pot with oil to the max fill line.  
3. Set control dial to 375°F (191°C) (pre-heating time may take up to 35 minutes).  
4. Close lid on the fryer.  
5. While oil is pre-heating, prepare the turkey (see pg. 5). Inject with Butterball Marinade and season  
the outside of the turkey with a Butterball Turkey Seasoning .  
6. CALCULATE COOKING TIME  
How hot will the oil become?  
Oil will reach 375°F (191°C) in approximately 35 minutes. Oil temperature will decrease when turkey is placed in  
fryer. Follow set cooking time in this manual.  
Fig. B  
Should I keep the lid on during use?  
Yes, the lid helps retain heat, and keeps splatter inside unit.  
What size turkey can I deep fry in this unit?  
A 10-12lb (4.5 - 5.4kgs) turkey is recommended. However, you can deep fry up to a 14 lb (6.35kgs) turkey in this  
unit. DO NOT EXCEED 14 lbs (6.35kgs).  
The formula for calculating turkey cooking time is to fry turkey 3.5-4 minutes per pound (0.45kg).  
Using a meat thermometer check turkey breast to ensure it has reached the appropriate  
cooking temperature 165°F-170°F (74°C-77°C). If you do not have a meat thermometer then fry  
turkey 4 minutes per pound (0.45kg).  
7. Ready indicator light will illuminate when temperature is reached.  
8. Place turkey horizontally in basket, breast side up (Fig. A).  
9. Wearing protective gloves or mitts, hook the basket handle with the lifting hook and VERY SLOWLY  
lower the basket into the hot oil (Fig. B).  
Can an extension cord be used with this unit?  
No, extension cords will lose electric current resulting in increased cooking time and decreased performance.  
Extension cords can also pose a trip hazard.  
10. With basket in place, close lid.  
11. Set digital timer to calculated time (see Operating Instructions pg. 4).  
12. Be certain to cook for complete calculated time .  
Does the turkey go in the basket breast side up or down?  
Turkey and turkey breasts should be placed horizontal in basket, breast side up (see Fig. A on pg. 6).  
13. When time is up, turn the turkey fryer to MIN and unplug from outlet. Lift the basket from the  
hot oil slowly, hooking the drain clip on basket into drain clip mounting hole (Fig. C).  
14. Allow turkey to rest in basket for 10 minutes before removing for carving and serving. The turkey  
can remain in the basket to cool until ready to serve.  
I followed the formula and the turkey did not fully cook. What went wrong?  
Cooking conditions may vary. Turkey could have been cold. Bring turkey to room temperature before frying.  
Sometimes a cold or frozen spot in a joint or deep in the turkey breast does not allow that section to cook  
properly. For best results wash with lukewarm water and pat dry inside and outside with paper towels before  
injecting with marinade.  
Fig. C  
Drain  
Clip  
NOTE:  
Cooking conditions vary. Insert a food thermometer 2 inches (5.08cm) into the deepest  
part of turkey breast and make sure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.  
Purchase 2 gallons (8qts) of oil to be used, although unit uses slightly less than  
2 gallons (8qts).  
Can the Electric Turkey Fryer be used outdoors?  
R
Outdoor use is not recommended for Masterbuilt’s Butterball Electric Turkey Fryer. If you do not want to use the  
unit in your house please use in a garage or covered patio to prevent Electric Turkey Fryer from being exposed  
to rain showers.  
Butterball turkey is recommended however if you have another brand please  
remove the pop-up cooking indicator and leg ties.
