Should the Deep Fryer be Deep-Sixed?

  I've never tried it, but heard it's tasty: deep-fried turkey. Apparently, the method of preparing the bird is increasing in popularity. Much to the chagrin of local fire departments, so are Thanksgiving fires and burn injuries. According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are more cooking fires on this holiday than any other day of the year.

  We spoke to the Olathe Fire Department and are running a story about the potential dangers of turkey fryers during our Thanksgiving morning show. Some fire departments, like the one in Los Angeles, are actually posting videos on their websites to illustrate the hazards.

  Ever tried your hand at the turkey fryer? Fire experts would rather amateur cooks left the boiling oil in the hands of the pros. Where are the best places in the metro to pick up some deep-fried Thanksgiving goodness?

Yes...the deep fryer should be deep-sixed. I have a hard enough time trying to keep things from burning in my oven. I can't imagine trying to use a deep fryer. I don't understand the simple idiocy that is required to try to use one of these devices without proper instruction.
