Bayou Classic 0835 Complete Poultry Rack Set Includes Perforated Aluminum Rack Lift Hook 2-oz Seasoning Injector 12-in Fry Thermometer and 3 Detachable Skewers

This is a great budget set for turkeys and smaller game. The perforated stand is very light, and I was a little skeptical of how well it was going to hold up in the fryer. I think I have given the stand a thorough test, as I not only fried a 15lb turkey with it, I also smoked a 16lb turkey with it by using the hook and perforated stand to hang it in my smoker. It worked exceptionally well. The thermometer works pretty well and is fairly accurate. I didn’t really have any problems attaching it to my 10 gallon pot. The think I liked most about the thermometer, is that it has markings for 80 degrees, which is the sweet spot for brewing beer when cooling the wort. So being able to use it not only for frying, but also in my beer brewing hobby…it definitely an added perk. I have not used the chicken skewers yet, but would like to attempt it sometime soon. I am sure this thing will be able to handle 3 chickens though. The injector was nice…but I used the tony c’s creole butter, and they come with their own injectors. Nice to have an injector though if you don’t have one…makes a good piece of equipment to add to any kitchen utensil arsenal. I think the only “con” is that I would like the perforated stand to be a little thicker…which is why I knocked off 1 star.
