Deep Fryer Causes Steep Damage

 
It’s Thanksgiving Day at your home in Epping, and you are putting your Bobby Flay cooking skills to the test with your deep fryer and a partially-thawed turkey. Your family and friends are due to arrive later in the day, and you want to ensure all of your Thanksgiving Day meals are ready to go. You place the turkey into the deep fryer and rush off to get the items prepared for the next dish. Out of the corner of your eye, you see large flames erupting from the deep fryer, and soon, a portion of the kitchen is engulfed in large flames and splattering grease. After the fire is safely extinguished by the local fire department, you contact your insurance company to get the claim process started for the Thanksgiving Day disaster. The insurance company recommends Soil-Away Cleaning and Restoration Services to start cleaning fire damage from your smoldering property immediately.

What Went Wrong?

 
With Thanksgiving Day being one of the top days for reported cooking fires, it is essential to know what can cause a kitchen fire and how to prevent one from occurring. For example, a partially-thawed turkey cooking in a deep fryer has the potential to start a fire due to the high moisture content mixing with hot oil. When preparing meals in a deep fryer, it is essential to keep in mind the following tips:
 

• Always fully thaw food items before deep frying them.
• Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature of the oil. The temperature should remain around 350-degrees to ensure the oil does not get too hot. Oil that is too hot, such as 400-degrees, can result in a fire.
• Do not overflow the deep fryer with oil.
• Do not use a deep fryer inside of your home, garage or porch or deck. When using a deep fryer, it is recommended to do so away from any structure or flammable item(s).
