I had a request for deep fried turkey over Christmas Holiday from a client.....having seen it done but never actually being the one to cook one I said "sure, why not".....famous last words...
God was smiling and it did not snow, rain, sleet etc......it was actually a pretty night.
So, after opening the turkey package I had to cut out a substantial plastic piece......the peanut oil came up to temp and I dropped a sputtering damp bird into this vat in a drained stairwell outside the party room......
the turkey's turned out ok....but what do you do with the oil when your done....or the GROSS pot/stand/insert etc.....now this is offsite catering.
I packaged it in large industrial bags and took it to a carwash.....again the weather was in the mid-60s so it was no biggy to pressure wash it.....still what a mess.
Never AGAIN......this time I was lucky......
So, is there something you've agreed to then kicked yourself later and promised NEVER EVER to do it again?
