The Char-Broil The Big Easy Oil-Less Turkey Fryer is a healthier way to fry your Thanksgiving turkey. After all, turkey is one of the leaner meats, so it seems counterproductive to drop it in a vat of oil. Instead, this oil-less turkey fryer gives you that same fried crunch without the excess fat utilizing TRU-Infrared technology. Plus, this oil-less option saves you time in cooking and cleaning which reviewers loved. Cleaning is so much easier without having to scrub out all the oily grime from traditional fryers.

Without gallons of oil in the way, marinading your turkey opens your Thanksgiving to a new world of flavor. Once you get the feel for the oil-free fryer, you can start experimenting with other meats like wings or prime rib.

Included with The Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer is an instruction manual that shows you how to operate, but more importantly, it gives also provides a mini recipe book. Reviewers thought the instructions were easy to follow, but they also noticed the recipes were missing fry times. This can be troublesome if the first time using the fryer is on Thanksgiving Day.

But recipes and cooking are all about trial and error. If you're concerned of overcooking the turkey, it may be best for a trial turkey before the family arrives.

Many reviewers purchased the Oster Roaster Oven with Buffet Server, 18 Quart, White (CKSTRS71) to prepare a Thanksgiving feast, but they soon learned that the Oster Roaster Oven has so much more potential. Aside from roasting your turkey, ham, or whatever roast you're thinking, the buffet server option makes this roaster a versatile appliance allowing you to keep all your sides and fixings warm when it comes time for serving. Some reviewers realized they can do more than just roasting as well. Some even use this roaster for their baking needs. Others also noted that this Oster brand roasted the ham, turkey, etc. faster than the recipe called for. They even checked its temperature to make sure.

While the Oster Roaster Oven with Buffet Server, 18 Quart, White (CKSTRS71) is versatile with its serving methods and more efficient than some conventional ovens, it lacks compatibility with other appliances. One reviewer wished they would have been able to use the buffet server platters in their regular oven, but it appeared that it did not work out for them. Furthermore, some reviewers thought this roaster oven was rather ugly in the kitchen.

However, not all kitchen appliances will be compatible with each other. After all, we still cannot put metal in a microwave. And while some did not like the look of the Oster Roaster Oven with Buffet Server, 18 Quart, White (CKSTRS71), nobody complained of the roaster's performance. So when making this purchase, the important question you will want to ask yourself, "Do I need a roaster that fits my kitchen's design or do I need a roaster that works?"

Users have prepared a wide range of food through this steam convection oven from mini-pizzas, leftovers, and even bread.

While many reviewers appreciated the size of the oven, others thought it might be too small. Some people simply have larger appetites than others. The biggest concern, however, is the unit's durability.
