i have heard that deep frying candy bars (babe ruth) is common in EU and in canada. i have never tried and agree it sounds strange.

I got a deep fryer for Christmas that I've only fried turkeys in so far. I have plans for cheese curds, pizza rolls, fries, and corndogs, though, as well as boiling things like corn on the cob and crab legs. My wife's uncle got one a couple years ago and we fried EVERYTHING that would fit into it - pickles, chocolate-covered fruit, twinkies, cheese sticks...

Deep fried turkey is way, way better than oven cooked turkey. Plus it takes half as much time.

Also, there's a restaurant in Detroit that serves deep fried Twinkies with ice cream. Yummy.

less than half the time. 1.5 hours for 18 lb. bird for us, including the time to heat up the oil.

5 minutes per lb.? That is pretty impressive. How is the cleanup/disposal of such a huge amount of oil?

Cleanup is easy - there's a spicket and a little hose you attach to it and just drain it back into the original container. Do with it what you will. Supersoakers could be fun, particularly if you live near the woods and there's a chance of attracting some bears or raccoons.
