Know before you buy
The unit utilizes TRU-Infrared technology, which directs heat evenly to the surface of the meat. This intense, consistent heat sears the skin to create a crispy exterior while locking in juices, effectively mimicking the results of deep frying without the need for oil.
The cooking chamber is designed to accommodate a turkey weighing up to 16 pounds. It is also well-suited for other large cuts of meat, such as a 6-pound pork shoulder or whole chickens.
Yes, because it uses infrared heat rather than open flames or boiling oil, it is significantly safer than traditional turkey fryers. However, it should always be placed on a stable, non-combustible surface and kept away from overhanging structures.
The Big Easy features a removable grease tray that catches drippings, making cleanup straightforward. The interior cooking basket is also removable and can be washed with warm, soapy water once the unit has fully cooled.
The unit is designed to work with standard 20-pound propane tanks, the same type commonly used for traditional gas grills. It connects easily to the tank, providing the 16,000 BTUs of power needed for consistent cooking.
Absolutely. While it is a popular choice for poultry, the infrared technology is excellent for roasting pork, beef, and other large cuts of meat that benefit from even, high-heat cooking.
