Ensure a safe Thanksgiving fry: Keep the turkey fryer 10 feet away to prevent spills, avoiding roof eaves. Maintain proper oil levels, never use a partially frozen turkey, and employ a thermostat for precision. Use protective oven mitts. Consider electric or air fryers for added safety. Elevate your holiday cooking responsibly. #ThanksgivingSafety #TurkeyFryerTips 🦃 Visit usfa.fema.gov for more free fire-safety resources.
