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.

How do you calculate the time taken by a kettle to boil?

The time taken for a kettle to boil will vary based on factors such as the power of the kettle, the amount of water being boiled, and the starting temperature of the water. To calculate the time, you can use the formula: time = (energy needed to heat water) / (power of the kettle). This formula takes into account the specific heat capacity of water and the efficiency of the kettle.


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.

Does every British household have a kettle for tea?

According to a recent survey, every single home in Britain has a kettle in the kitchen and all the necessary equipment needed to brew tea.
