As part of Foodbuzz Tastemaker program, I was fortunate to receive a Big Easy® Turkey Fryer from Char-Broil. This fabulous device uses infrared light, making the process a lot less complicated than with traditional fryers which use oil. It is safer as there are no oil spills; it is cheaper and healthier as no oil is actually used; and the whole process is a lot faster. Not only does the turkey take less time to cook, but during the busy cooking for a Thanksgiving dinner, the regular ovens are freed up to cook the other dishes.
For our test of the Big Easy® Turkey Fryer, we cooked a couple of Cornish hens at our friends' house. After the hens were cleaned, we sprinkled them with the dry rub from Char-broil and threw them in the turkey fryer. Almost instantly there was a wonderful aroma of spices spreading all around, making all of the kids very hungry. Thankfully, they didn't have to wait long as in just half an hour the hens were ready. The hens were tender, juicy, and flavorful!
