I got burned out on frying turkeys. Not because they didn't turn out great, they do, it's because it was my fryer and I was always the one having to re-strain the oil back into the container and scrub the oily pot. Often times out in the rain while everybody else is inside eating pie and groaning from full bellies.

That, and I once had a 5 gallon plastic container of peanut oil in a cabinet in my garage that split and spilled oil everywhere. Dog was rolling in it by the time I discovered it. What a PITA to clean up. Had to wipe it with gasoline to get that oil off the floor.

Brother now has the infra red cooker. Let him do it, turns out great.
