While the fryers are made to operate at a temperature of around 350 degrees Fahrenheit, they can soar to as high as 670 degrees -- when the oilliterallybursts into flame -- if not watched carefully.

"If you are going to use a turkey fryer, do it outside as far away from the house as possible, don't overfill the fryer with oil and never put a partially thawed turkey into the oil," Drengenberg said.

A goodrule of thumbfor thawing a frozen turkey in the refrigerator is to allow a day for every five pounds of meat. This means the thawing process should start days ahead of the feast, experts said.

A partially frozen turkey plunged into hot oil can send up a sudden cloud of smoke and oil that could cause a terrible burn, Drengenberg said.

感恩节是细数恩典的传统节日，然而对某些人来说，这也是家中起火的日子。

据美国国家消防协会统计，感恩节这天的家庭火灾事故数量在一年中最多，消防部门要应对比平时多两倍的火灾事故。

此类火灾大多源起于厨房，是由笨拙或粗心的做饭人引起的，这一事实并不令人惊讶。

美国保险商实验室的消费者安全部主管约翰 德仁根贝格说：“实际情况是这样的，门铃响了，亲友们站在门口，你想去迎接他们，聊聊天，于是就想不起来要回厨房了。保险商实验室是一家测评电器等产品安全性的机构。
