Dogfish, Great tip on the baster and recipe source. I got a 32 qt. with a really nice stainless steal stand from my dad as a gift. It came with everything but the baster and directions for caring for the oil.

HBP, how do you filter the oil and how do you store it? How do you know when it's no longer safe to use. Is vegetable oil reuseable 5 or 6 times.

I cooked our first turkey last night. Seasoned it with some cajun spice. It was really good even though I cooked it a little too long.
