Approximately 5 gallons, depending upon the diameter of your cooking pot. It has to be enough to cover the bird by about 1 inch.

The Louisianian in me is forcing me to add more to this answer. First, we don't usually recommend frying a turkey over 15 pounds, but the "experts" can get away with it. Second, peanut oil is our preferred oil for turkey frying, because of the flavor and the high smoking point. However, you should be careful about peanut Allergies of your guests. Whatever oil you use, make sure it has a high smoke point and never let the oil get over 350F. Oil can flame up. When the temperature of the oil is between 325F and 350F, it's ready for the bird. Be sure to completely dry the completely thawed (and properly injected) bird before dropping it. You want the injection juices inside the meat, not on the surface (moisture and oil don't mix well.) Also, for safety sake, always fry outdoors and never under a covered roof. Get ready for the most moist turkey ever and be prepared for demands that you repeat this as Christmas.

Why does a kettle have 800 watts?

Assuming you got that number off an electric kettle it is because that is how much power is needed to heat the water. The number of watts actually measure how much energy the kettle is designed to use. Water is very hard to heat compared to other liquids(or to cool). So it takes a lot of watts to get the kettle to heat the water.

What are the advantages of an eco kettle?

Until now, conveniently measuring the correct amount of water to be boiled in your kettle has not been easy. It is estimated that, on average, we boil twice the volume of water needed every time. Which means twice as much energy, twice as much time. An eco kettle allows you to boil just the right amount of water every time.
