Char-Broil Big Easy TRU Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer
The Char-Broil Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer is the stress-free way to fry your turkey, roast, or other cut of meat. With no hot cooking oil to purchase, splatter, or dispose of, the Char-Broil Big Easy gives you a delicious, safe, and simple alternative to frying with oil. The Big Easy uses infrared heat to cook a turkey from start to finish just as quickly as oil-frying - and, of course, food cooked without oil is healthier, too! Safely cook a turkey (up to 16 lbs.) or chicken in about 8 to 10 minutes per pound, (roasts and most other large cuts of meat cook for slightly longer), as there is no waiting around for the oil to heat up. And because the Big Easy is oil-less, it offers the versatility to cook a variety of items in addition to turkey. Not to mention that there is no hot oil to purchase, splatter or dispose of- resulting in a headache-free, delicious, safe and simple alternative to oil-fried turkey.
Char-Broil TRU Infrared Technology
The Big Easy utilizes Char-Broil’s TRU Infrared technology eliminates hot and cold spots, and delivers juicy, crisp, and flavorful results every time. The TRU Infrared technology takes the mess and hassle out of cooking a perfect turkey (up to 16 lbs.) or other large cut of meat (chickens, pork tenderloins, or beef roasts), leveraging infrared heat to cook the food, instead of heated oil like other products. Because of the oil-less functionality, there is no waiting for the oil to heat up and you can prepare your bird or meat with seasoned rubs or injectable marinades- both of which are not an option with traditional fryers. The fully-enclosed 16,000 BTU propane burners sit inside of a double-wall cylindrical cooking chamber, which generate infrared heat that circles the cooker to penetrate and cook the meat evenly, sealing in juices. The result is a turkey or meat that is moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, without the hassle or added fat and calories of oil.

Product Description
The Char-Broil Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer is the stress-free way to fry your turkey. With no hot cooking oil to purchase, splatter, or dispose of, the Char-Broil Big Easy gives you a delicious, safe, and simple alternative to oil-fried turkey. The Big Easy uses infrared heat to cook a turkey from start to finish just as quickly as oil-frying - and, of course, food cooked without oil is healthier, too! The meat is always cooked evenly inside of a double-wall cylindrical cooking chamber, powered by a fully enclosed propane burner: Char-Broil's patented Heat Wave infrared technology prevents flare-ups, eliminates hot and cold spots, and delivers juicy, crisp, and flavorful results every time. Safely cook a turkey (up to 16 lbs.) or chicken in about 8 to 10 minutes per pound - there's no waiting for the oil to heat up. Roasts and most other large cuts of meat cook for slightly longer. You can prepare your bird or meat with the same injectable marinade you already use, or you can use seasoned rubs on the outside - which is not an option with traditional fryers. Experience the flavor when infrared heat circles the cooker to penetrate the meat evenly and seal in juices. The result is a bird that's moist on the inside and crispy on the outside without the risk, hassle or added fat and calories of oil.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE MAXIMUM SIZE TURKEY THE TBE CAN HOLD IS A 16 LBS.
Some items to help you make your decision to purchase TBE or not.
INSIDE THE BOX THERE IS :
1) TBE unit (metal black wall on the outside, bare steel wall on the inside, and a circular burner at the bottom).
2) Four legs; 2 handles; a burner control module/ ignition system, with hose to connect to an LP tank; a metal heat shield used to protect the ignition system; a packet of screws and nuts for assembly.
3) A drip tray and an aluminum foil pan to put in the drip tray.
4) A stainless steel cooking chamber that easily drops in/pulls out of TBE.
5) A heavy wire basket to put the turkey in to keep the turkey centered in the cooking chamber inside TBE while cooking.
6) A metal hook to lower and raise the basket (especially while hot).
7) A wire mesh lid to cover the open top of the cooker and reflect heat back into TBE.
8) Assembly directions, a good quality dial meat thermometer, and a recipe book.
ASSEMBLY AND SEASONING THE TBE:
There is a little bit of assembly required. All you need to complete the assembly is a philips-head screwdriver. There are four legs to install (3 screws and nuts each leg), two handles (2 screws each handle), and the burner control assembly (3 screws). It will take 15-20 minutes to assemble, possibly less.
After assembly, place the aluminum foil pan in the drip tray and slide the drip tray into its slot. Hook TBE up to a full LP tank. You need to season the interior of the stainless steel cooking chamber. It's very easy to perform the seasoning. The stainless steel cooking chamber has a curved bottom with a small hole in the middle of it. Tilt the cooking chamber a little, pour 1-2 oz. of vegetable or peanut oil inside it (you can use a spray like PAM, but I think you'll get a thicker more even coat will the oil), making sure it doesn't run out the hole, and using a paper towel, evenly wipe the oil all over the inside bottom and up the side of the stainless steel cooking chamber. Place the cooking chamber inside TBE, turn the gas on high, twist the igniter nob until the gas lights. In a few minutes, the unit will heat up, the oil will start to turn brown and smoke. After about 15 minutes the oil will stop smoking. Turn the unit off and let it cool. It's seasoned.
ON TO THE COOKING:
When you use traditional deep frying, a turkey will take approximate 3-4 minutes per pound to cook. A 15 lb. turkey will take 45-60 minutes. When you consider the oil warm up time of 30-45 minutes, you're looking at a total time of 75-105 minutes, or 1.25-1.75 hours, from lighting the burner to pulling the cooked turkey out of the fryer.
In TBE, a turkey will take 10-12 minutes per pound to cook. A 15 lb. turkey will take 150-180 minutes, or 2.5-3 hours). Here in NE Ohio, today's temperature was about 38-39 degrees F., so it took the full 3 hours from lighting the burner to pulling the turkey out of TBE. (The turkey had an internal temperature of 165 degrees.)
TBE's BENEFITS COME IN OTHER WAYS:
1) You don't need 2.5 to 3.5 gallons of oil, saving you about $30-$40. (Yes the oil is reusable, 3-4 times, if stored properly, it will last for up to 6-12 months)
2) Clean up. In traditional frying you need to let the oil cool 4-6 hours before you can strain/filter the oil out of the pot. Then you've got to wash a big, oily pot that doesn't fit into your kitchen sink. Let's say you want to eat dinner at about 5-6 p.m. Well, with traditional frying you'll be ready to clean your pot at 10 or 11 o'clock at night. That's always fun (sarcasm, if you couldn't tell).
With TBE, when you pull the turkey out, you place the mesh reflecting lid over the TBE and let it continue to burn for another 15 minutes. Then turn the burner off, let it cool for 15 minutes, wire brush the cooking chamber, and you're done.
3) No splatter, no oil spills, no oil burns on your arms from lowering a cold turkey into hot oil; much less chance of burning you garage or house down (I'm serious about this!)
4) The until sits lower to the ground, practically no chance of it tipping over.
5) With TBE you get drippings to make a gravy or sauce from (additionally beneficial if you used an injectable marinade, as flavors from the marinade will be in the drippings). In traditional frying, all the juices that cook out of the turkey are in the oil, and get burned off.
MY FIRST TBE TURKEY:
My turkey was a 15 lb. total weight (giblets & neck included), and that is how you determine the cooking weight of the turkey.
While I was seasoning the cooking chamber, I pulled the plastic leg holders (some turkey producers use wire) off the turkey (recommended to remove by Charbroil) and washed and pat dried the turkey and removed the pop-up timer in the turkey.
Normally I brine a turkey, but since today's turkey was more about a test run of TBE so I'd be familiar with it for Thanksgiving dinner, I didn't brine the turkey. Besides, brining takes 10-12 hours, and I just didn't have the time. I used Tony Chachere's Injectable Creole Butter Marinade. BRINING THE TURKEY IS ALWAYS BETTER, but if you're using an injectable marinade, brining isn't as necessary. In my opinion, if brining and injecting provides you a flavor/moisture rating of a 10 on a 1 to 10 rating scale, just injecting easily rates 8.5-9 out of 10.
This was my first time using Tony Chachere's marinade. I really liked it. So much so, that it will now be my go to marinade. One of the problems of using an injection is trying to fill the syringe after the jar or bottle is half empty. With Tony's, there's a foil seal under the bottle cap. Just remove the cap, puncture the foil with the syringe, tilt the bottle and the marinade will flow right to the needle. The bottle I purchased came with a small 1oz. plastic syringe (actually a good quality). I have a big, metal 'professional' grade syringe, but this little syringe was very adequate.
I sprinkled a light dusting of Tony Chachere's dry seasoning on the skin of the turkey. I poured a small amount of oil onto a paper towel, rubbed down the metal cooking basket, and placed the turkey (legs pointed down) in the basket, spreading the legs as much as possible to allow air flow into the cavity of the turkey. I placed my digital thermometer probe into the middle of the breast of the turkey. I put the basket on a rimmed cookie tray to catch any drips and carried the turkey out to TBE. I lowered the turkey into TBE, turned the gas on high, and lit the burner. I plugged the wire cord from my probe into the digital thermometer base, set the thermometer alarm to go off at 165 degrees, and placed the base of the thermometer away from TBE. I did not put the mesh reflecting lid on right away. Charbroil doesn't recommend using it for the full cook time because it reflects so much heat you could actually burn the top of the turkey.
After 1.25 hours, I placed the mesh lid on TBE. After 3 hours, the alarm on my thermometer went off, I removed the basket from TBE and placed it on a clean cookie sheet, put the lid back on TBE, removed the drip tray, placing it on the cookie sheet, and brought the turkey into the house. I set a timer for 15 minutes to give the turkey a chance to rest and redistribute its juices. I tried to skim most of the liquid fat off the top of drippings. Then I poured the drippings into a sauce pan and placed the sauce pan on the stove set to a medium temperature, to bring the drippings to a boil. After the drippings came to a boil, I mixed in a couple of tablespoons of mashed potatoes to thicken the sauce.
When the timer went off, I went outside, turned the gas off at the LP tank, and when the burner on TBE went out, I closed the valve on TBE's control panel. I came back inside, removed the turkey from the cooking basket, and carved a very hot, incredibly juicy, and tender turkey. Mmmmm!
After dinner, I washed the drip tray, aluminum foil pan, and the wire cooking basket by hand (the basket would probably fit on the bottom shelf of most dishwashers). Then I went out, gave the inside of the stainless steel cooking chamber a light wire brushing, and put TBE away.
All and all, a very good experience.
Updated January 25, 2013:
After a few more uses, I am still extremely pleased with TBE. The weather was more pleasant on Thanksgiving Day, the temperature was close to 50 degrees when I put the 15 lb. turkey in the fryer, and it took 2.5 hours to cook. I have found that temperatures below 40 degrees (I haven't tried it when the temperature was below freezing) do slightly affect the cooking time, but it is still a great experience compared to traditional deep frying a turkey. I REALLY like the easy clean-up. But even that wouldn't matter if the turkey didn't taste great!
Further Update January 12, 2017
Still using it, and still loving it. I haven't went back to traditional frying method since I first tried this. I loaned the unit to a friend for his 2016 Christmas turkey, his family loved it! They are looking to buy TBE now!!
That said, this is a great product. My first cook I did a 13.5 pound organic Diestl Hen turkey. I rubbed it all over with peanut oil, then I sprinkled on a generous amount of Penzey's 4S seasoned salt along with some Penzey's Berebere seasoning for a little extra kick. The unit cooked it perfectly in about 11 minutes per pound, or thereabouts. I used my wireless meat thermometer and left the bird uncovered until the last 15 minutes or so to brown it up a bit. It was simply gorgeous, perfectly juicy and the skin was nice and crisp. The drippings that I caught in the foil pan below were very good. I used a fat separator to de-grease and they were delicious also.
I left it to rest about 20 minutes covered with foil and towels. The breast was a little more dry than the dark meat, but that's usually what happens with whole birds. Next time I might inject the breast only just to see what happens. It was, however, one of the best turkeys I have ever made or tasted. I have never prepared a deep fried turkey, and was reluctant to try due to safety factors, so I cannot compare how it tastes up against that, however it sure pleased my diners!!!!
I made stock with the turkey carcass and some of the drippings from the pan which will be useful for a gravy, soup, or pot pie.
I loved the cooker, it is the only propane cooking implement I have used in quite a while, I usually use my Cajun BBQ or my Bradley smoker. It is a nice addition to my outdoor cooking repertoire. I highly recommend it and it seems quite versatile. I also purchased the little "bunk bed" wire basket so I can also roast veges at the same time. Turned out my bird was a little too tall to do that this time, but it will work well with smaller birds or roasts.
It required some assembly, but just a philips screwdriver and a small wrench was all that was required, and I am not mechanical but accomplished it fairly easily. The instructions for assembly are very clear.
All in all I would recommend this cooker.
Next we are going to try a ham since we have had a big one in the freezer for a few months and it is time to get it outta there!
Top reviews from other countries
Pop the chicken in, and come back in an hour and 15 and its perfect. No need to watch it. No flare ups.
This also makes perfect roasts. Bark on the outside, and juicy on the inside.
Great Buy. Very happy after using it 15-20 x
