Turkey frying season is approaching & Bayou Classic introduces the grand gobbler for frying large turkeys. The new Bayou Classic 42-qt grand gobbler is specifically designed to fry your larger Thanksgiving Turkey to 25 lb & features: 42-qt aluminum stockpot with lid & Riveted handles; patented poultry rack & lift hook; stainless 12" Fry thermometer; 2-oz. Seasoning Injector; protective Leather glove. Made of 99% pure aluminum, this 42-qt Turkey fryer features heavy duty riveted handles & a vented lid. Inside the pot is a patented poultry rack & lift hook designed to create a circular flow of oil up through & around the cavity during the frying process. The final result is cooking your Thanksgiving Turkey golden brown. The select-grain leather glove (right hand only) protects from hot oil as you lift the turkey, to slowly insert & later remove, from the pot. The stainless 12-in. Fry thermometer enables you to monitor & maintain optimal frying temperature. The 2 oz. Seasoning Injector with stainless needle is ideal for infusing your favorite seasonings into the turkey prior to cooking. Use outdoors only with your favorite Bayou Classic high Pressure cooker. Yes, even larger size turkeys to 35-lb can be fried in the grand gobbler, but legs & Wings must first be removed & Fried separately; otherwise, they will overcook. When doing this, fry the turkey body following the standard instructions for whole turkeys. Typically, legs & Wings require 18 Min to cook separately. Remove the rack & hook to use this versatile stockpot year round for cooking soup, shrimp, crabs, corn, peanuts, jambalaya, low Country boil or gumbo. The Bayou Classic Grand gobbler is your next must-have outdoor cooking equipment.

Big pot means less likely spills when lowering the turkey. Good accessories. Looking forward to shrimp and crab boils.Good purchase. I’d do buy it again.

I bought two of these for processing ducks and turkeys. I have a duck, turkey chicken farm and regularly process birds for food. I use one for heating up hot soapy water and one for heating up water with duck wax. I use a gas camping stove top under the pots and these pots are holding up wonderfully! They clean easily and are thick and good material. No issues here!

Had a friend give me a turkey which ended up being 35lbs. This was the largest fryer I could find and it worked out great! I would say it’s not worth buying unless you have plan on frying large birds regularly bc it requires a lot of oil as it’s diameter is very large. All in all it was exactly what I needed.

Bought this for my first deep fried turkey. The base was easy to set up but can be difficult if you lack assembly know how. The pot came warped and in oval shape. The metal was insanely thin and flexible although the rivers for the handle were very sturdy it kind of scares me how thin this pot is. The leather glove was nice and of good quality. Thermometer needed adjustment but that’s a given on analog thermometers. I used a digital thermometer as a backup and there was only a 3° difference which isn’t bad. The turkey stand and hook were both very nice and will probably hold up for years to come.

First time ever frying a turkey for Thanksgiving and this pot, along with the recommended burner worked out great. Everything you need comes with the kit. Spoke with several friends who had to buy the glove and thermometer separately, with other fryers.Highly recommended.

We did a 14 pound bird in this pot. Very little temperature drop when lowered the bird into the oil and the recovery time to get back to temp. was quick.Very happy with this product. Would like the aluminum to be a bit thicker but that's a personal 'thing'.Would highly recommend this product.

I assumed the duty of cooking our family's Thanksgiving turkey this year and knew right away I wanted to do a fried turkey. I bought this based on other reviews and it definitely got the job done well. I did three test runs with 15-17 pound turkeys, all of which turned out great, and our Thanksgiving turkeys (we ended up doing 2 turkeys that day) were delicious as well. Stuff to know:-This thing is BIG. It took 5-6 gallons of oil (I used peanut oil) to fully submerge each turkey because of how wide this fryer is. That's two 3-gallon jugs, each of which runs about $30. So you'll spend $60 on oil alone. If you're planning on frying smaller turkeys, you probably don't need one this big.-Allow plenty of time for the oil to heat up. 6 gallons is a lot of liquid. It took a good 35 minutes to get the oil up to temperature (325-350 F) before I could put the turkey in. Allow yourself some extra time at the beginning of the cook to heat the oil so that your guests aren't waiting around for the turkey to be done. If it gets done a bit early, you can just rest the turkey a bit longer after it's done and it will stay hot internally and be that much easier to carve up.-Easy to clean: warm water, soap, a sponge, and some elbow grease were all it took to clean the fryer afterwards. I thought I'd spend a lot of effort scraping the residue but it wasn't bad at all.-The thermometer was a bit off, it would jump between 275 - 350 sometimes in seconds, which makes me think I got a faulty one. These aren't expensive though so I just picked up a new one at my local hardware store.

Good quality product! The fry mitt was awesome and really helped when lowering a turkey into the hot oil. The larger size was great and the oil never overflowed like it can with the 30 quart size.
