Thanksgiving with Butterball Turkey

(News Release) Fall entertaining and the holidays mean family and friends coming together, football games and great food. With the launch of the Butterball Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer, tender and juicy deep fried turkey can now be a part of any occasion.

For the first time, Butterball has partnered with Masterbuilt, the deep frying experts, to launch the Butterball Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer. The Masterbuilt Butterball partnership delivers the great taste of deep fried turkey made safely and hassle-free with a fryer designed to use inside the house.

With CSA certification and a design that meets Underwriters Laboratories Inc. standards, the Butterball Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer is safe to use indoors. It can fry turkeys up to 14 pounds which is enough for eight to 10 people.

"The Butterball Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer will bring families together for a great meal," said Masterbuilt CEO John McLemore. "It's also a cost effective way to entertain at home, as deep frying one turkey costs less than 40 cents in electricity and uses one-third less oil than conventional turkey fryers."

Safety features include a thermostat temperature control that prevents overheating as well as a digital timer that helps cook the turkey just right. Other features include a folding lid with window and grease filter, Turkey Tap drain valve and removable porcelain coated inner pot for easy cleaning and a stainless steel outer shell.

"Deep frying continues to be a popular cooking method for families," said Bill Klump Butterball Senior Vice President, Marketing. "We're excited to partner with Masterbuilt on a product that provides a safe and easy way to prepare a picture-perfect turkey for any occasion."

The fryer is available at Academy Sports, Bass Pro Shop, Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Farmer's Home, Gander Mountain, K-Mart, Kroger, Lowe's, Menards, Publix, Rural King, Sears, Shop Rite, Sports Authority, SuperValu and Weis Markets for approximately $119.00 - $159.00.
