CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
FOR BEST RESULTS, READ the following start up tips before using this product. Remember this is an ELECTRIC unit and has different characteristics than a gas unit.
Note: Watch "Getting to know your XL Butterball Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer" on www.masterbuilt.com.
FOR SAFETY, heating element only heats up when properly attached to mounting bracket (see previous page for instructions). This is a powerful heating element and may cause circuit breaker to trip. Minimize occurrences by operating any additional appliances on separate circuit. Tripping circuit breaker will NOT damage unit or household electrical system.
PRE-HEATING oil or water may take up to 45 minutes. Take advantage of this time to prepare foods for cooking. For 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.
POWER LIGHT (orange) will illuminate indicating power cord is plugged into outlet.
READY INDICATOR LIGHT (green) will turn ON when set temperature is reached. Indicator light will turn on and off to maintain set temperature.

A 18-20 lb. (8.16-9.07 kgs.) turkey is recommended. However, you can deep fry up to a 22 lb (9.98 kgs.) turkey in this unit. DO NOT EXCEED 22 lbs. (9.98 kgs.).
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.
THAWING TURKEY
Allow approximately 24 hours for every 4 lbs. (1.8 kgs.) of turkey thawed in the refrigerator.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
Follow the above directions and safety precautions and adjust formula to 7 minutes per pound (0.45 kg.). Start at 375°F (191°C) after lowering turkey breast into unit reduce temperature to 325°F (163°C) for entire cooking time.

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. Power light will illuminate when control panel is mounted correctly.
Fryer will require approximately 2.75 gallons (11qts) 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.
Peanut oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher smoke point but any common cooking oil may be used.
Oil will reach 375°F (191°C) in approximately 45 minutes. Oil temperature will decrease when turkey is placed in fryer. Follow set cooking time in this manual.
Yes, the lid helps retain heat, and keeps splatter inside unit.
A 18-20 lb. (8.16-9.07 kgs.) turkey is recommended. However, you can deep fry up to a 22 lb. (9.97 kgs.) turkey in this unit. DO NOT EXCEED 22 lbs. (9.97 kgs.).
No, extension cords will lose electric current resulting in increased cooking time and decreased performance. Extension cords can also pose a trip hazard.
Turkey should be placed horizontal in basket, breast side up.
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.

To power up, plug unit into power source. Initially the power indicator will illuminate red and the digital readout will blink 375°F, indicating the unit is in standby mode.
OFF: The display will blink OFF 5 times, after which time the unit will power down. Please allow adequate time for liquids to cool as the temperature will not immediately drop once the unit has powered down.
BOIL: (Use only water in boil mode) In this mode, the indicator will read BOIL. Slowly lower food once water comes to a boil. The ready light will not illuminate during boil operation.
*Note: Water will not instantaneously begin to boil and must still have time to reach desired temperature.
300°F/325°F/350°F/375°F: Once desired frying temperature is indicated, simply press temperature button to select cooking temp. In fry mode the letter "H" will blink during pre-heat while the element cycles on and will cease to blink once temp has been reached. There is no pre-heat "H" indicator when boiling. The green ready indicator will illuminate when oil reaches the set temp.
*Note: Oil will not instantaneously reach desired temperature. Please allow time for pre-heat.
NOTE: In the event that the cord becomes disconnected during cooking, the fryer will maintain the last set time and temperature for up to 2 minutes. However, some heat loss could occur during the time that the fryer is disconnected from power source.
Preheat oil to 375 ºF (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.
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 1/2 tsp. salt. Pour over seafood and 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.
Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into 2-inch pieces. Combine fish and mustard; chill 15 minutes. Preheat oil to 375 º F (191°C). Combine cornmeal and favorite cajun seasoning; stir well with a whisk. Evenly coat all sides of catfish with cornmeal mixture. Fry 6 or 8 pieces at a time for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden. Remove from hot oil and drain on paper towels.
Preheat oil to 375 ºF (191°C). Wash wings, split at each joint, and discard tips. Deep fry for 10-15 minutes until crispy. Drain well. Melt butter and combine with hot sauce. Dip wings in hot sauce.
