Ratings & Reviews for LoCo COOKERS Propane Turkey Fryer 30.0 Quarts Manual Ignition Liquid Propane Gas Turkey Fryer

Great cooker.

Took a few mins to unpack but well worth the time. Great cooker even better price

Very Thin Pot

Stand and burner seem sturdy enough. The pot however was dinged and dented just from the initial wash. Held up during the frying process. The regulator and burner did an ok job considering temps were in the mid 30's the day I used it. Put the bird in at 250 deg and it took the entire cooking time (1hr for 165 deg at the breast) to reach 350 deg oil temp. The basket warped a bit making it a task to get it thru the resting tabs inside the pot. Be prepared to fight with that, make sure your burner ...

My Turkey cooker

This items works well and cooked my turkey in about 30 minutes. The meat was so juicy. It a keeper for me.

Turkey and wings

I bought this hoping to cook my turkey and then a few days later cook chicken wings with the same peanut oil. I did both and they turned out great. The fryer works great, except for the fact that I couldn’t get the oil hot enough. It had trouble reaching temperature of 350°F and maintaining that temperature. It still did a great job and I will continue to use it

Poor performance

Like others it took almost 2 hours to heat up past 300 degrees. Once I dropped the turkey it went down to 250 and stayed there. Disappointing

Not Impressed

I purchased this product and took it home and was reviewing the pieces. I thought the basket was going to be larger. I intended to use it to steam tamales and seafood as well as cook a turkey for Thanksgiving. I returned it the next day and purchased one at another store with a larger basket. If I was just going to use it for Turkey I would have been more satisfied.

Manufacturing Defect

I purchased this in time for Thanksgiving. I'm pretty handy so I didn't figure it would be a big deal to assemble. Unfortunately for me the base was welded together with the 4 screw holes for the burner on the wrong side! I checked and rechecked the instructions, looked at pictures online, and had 2 other people review to make sure I wasn't missing something. What a disappointment. Needless to say this got returned. It about ruined our Thanksgiving day.

Great price, great product

This can’t be beat for the price, most other fryers were double the price. It did take a little longer to heat the oil but once it was heated it stayed steady. The basket it comes with is good for frying smaller foods, and it is big enough to fit a 18lb turkey in.

Does the job

After you figure out everything it’s ok, you just need to make sure you push the gas valve all the way open.

Worked well

Easy to use. Very safe.

Cooking

Great deep fryer works well easy start and a quick cleanup I like the temp monitoring. Recommend to get price was reasonable. Had another one for several years this is a lot more sturdier than my other one.

Undersized

Easy enough to put together. Very thin pot, but that's what I expected at this price point. Took almost an hour to heat 3.25 gallons of peanut oil to 350. Once I submerged the 16lb Turkey, the temp dropped to 275 and never got back about 290 even with the burner on full blast. I cooked it an extra 10 minutes just because of the temperature issue. The turkey ended up a little greasy because of the low cooking temp. It was easy to operate and the stand was sturdy. Probably fine for a low country b...

Don’t waste your money

Purchased two fryers one for myself and the other for my sister. We both experienced same issues, once the turkey was dropped in oil never got back above 300 degrees. Even after the entire 45 min cook time of the turkey . We both cooked longer than should have and both had turkeys with raw and undercooked spots. Very disappointing lots of money wasted . Last budget fryer I buy

AVOID

As others have mentioned, was able to get the temp up to 350 but once the 16.5lb turkey went in, couldn't get it back above 250 degrees. Still cooked, but took a lot longer and wasn't as good. But more importantly, despite following the directions perfectly, the propane would not stay lit for more than 3 minutes at a time. I have a feeling it was due to a faulty auto shutoff switch. This forced us to stay outside with the turkey the entire time and press the manual override. It was terrible.
