Happy Thanksgiving to all.
I thought I'd start a thread for us to all tell of any funny stories that we encounter today.
I'll start, with how mine is going so far.....
Today will be my first attempt at deep frying a turkey. I've wanted to try it for years, and decided that this year I was going to do it.
Well, a little while ago, I got the bird all set up and ready to Inject with my favorite BBQ sauce,... "Woody's Cookin' Sauce".
After doing a little reading on how to approach it, and how much to inject,I think I'm ready to go.
I've got my large plastic injector with a large tip, cut it to a sharp needle like point, and filled it with the Woody's.
I jab it into the fleshy part of the breast, and proceed to inject it in.
Not realizing that I should move the needle around while still in the meat to dissapate some of the pressure I have created,.....
And having a good 2 or 3 .oz's at I'm guessing somewhere around 7000 psi,....
I removed the "needle" from the first injection site.
Guess what !?!?!?!.... Did you know that BBQ sauce under high pressure can SPRAY like a FIREHOSE???
YEP ! It sure can !
It closely resembles a Shotgun Blast , or a Nuclear BBQ Explosion !
Simply AMAZING how quickly you can cover half of the kitchen with the stuff.
I got it on the upper and lower cabinets, completely covered myself, all over the floor, 2/3rd's of the dining room table and 3 chairs, both dogs, the microwave, the stove, the sink, the kitchen window and mini-blinds, and even a good amount on the ceiling.
Heck, I guess I figure if your going to make a mess, make it a GOOD one ! (My wife is NOT amused !)
well, I got it pretty well cleaned up, and quickly learned that it would be a good idea to "pre-poke" the bird with the harpoon end of a meat probe, prior to injecting some more sauce.
The next 10 injections went well without repeat incidents.
now, I'm off to set up the fryer,.....
Wish me luck !!! (I think I'm going to need it)
