TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 10/03/12 — To celebrate the first long weekend of Fall, crisper temperatures and the new hockey season, many Canadians kick off Autumn with traditional turkey feasts. According to the Turkey Farmers of Canada, during Thanksgiving alone, three million whole turkeys were purchased nationally. Increasingly, many of these turkeys are being cooked throughout the Fall by deep frying in an outdoor cooker or turkey fryer. Before attempting to cook these moist, tasty and crispy delights, users should be aware that the use of outdoor gas appliances could also pose a risk of fire or injury if not used carefully and in accordance with the manufacturer–s instructions.
CSA Group, a leading testing and certification provider for gas-fired products, offers users of turkey fryers the following safety tips to help ensure their autumn and Thanksgiving is a bounty of happy, healthy and hearty memories:
