It’s easy with the Butterball Open Pan Roasting Method. Place thawed or fresh turkey, breast up on a Hat rack in a shallow pan, 2 to 2-1/2 inches deep.

The highly anticipated Thanksgiving turkey could ruin the holiday if it’s not safely pre pared. Popular turkey fryers lauded by celebrity chefs Martha Stewart and Emeril Lagassecan beextremely dan gerous, occasionally resulting in dev astating house fires. Ifthecookingpotisoverfilled,the oi I may spi 11 when the turkey is placed \ into the cooking pot. If thatoil hitsthe ; burner or flames, flames may engulf « / t h e entire unit. Partially frozen tur- keys can also cause a spillover effect, resulting in an extensive fire. With no thermostat controls, the units can potentially overheat the oil to the point o f combustion. The sides o f the cooking pot, lid and pot handles get dangerously hot, posing severe bum hazards. But after tasting thejuicy bird which cooks conveniently fast in a fryer, some people are not going back to roasting. If you plan to cook a fried turkey this year, please observe these safety tips. Turkey fryers should always be used outdoors a safe dis- ■'2? L tance from buildings and any other flammable material; never on wooden decks or in garages. Make sure the fryers are used on a flat surface to reduce acci dental tipping. Never leave the fryer unattended as oil may catch fire if it gets too hot. Never let children or pets near the fryer, even after use, until the unit cools down completely, which could take several hours. To avoid oil spillover, do not overfill the fryer. Use well- insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching pot or lid handles. Safety goggles are even recommended to protect your eyes from oil splatter. Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with marinades. Oil and water don’t mix, and water causes oil to spill over, causing a fire or even an explosion hazard. Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. If the fire is manageable, use a fire extinguisher, but call 911 immediately ifyou cannot contain the fire. , '■ ■ ■ imr Creamy choco late has de lighted palates for generations. And Chocolate For All T he w o rld ’s favorite treat is enjoyed in many form s, consistencies and fla vors. In a consumer survey, Americans chose chocolate as their favorite desert. But although Americans gobble up about 12 pounds o f chocolate a year, many don’t know the story o f how this delightful sweet became one of the most popular holiday treats and gifts. The custom began more than 4, (MX) years ago when the early Romans ex changed sweet gifts during the solstice ceremonies. They believed sweet-tasting gifts like fruits, honey and cakes would ensure a good harvest. By the M iddle A ges, the story o f the Magi bearing gifts for the infant Jesus becam e a central part o f the C hristm as holiday tradition. In the early 1900s, sw eet-tasting hom em ade treats were popular holiday gifts, prim arily forchil- dren. O ur m odern-day Santa C laus is based upon Saint N icholas, the third century bishop o f M yra, who dressed in red and w hite robes and secretly bestow ed gifts to children at night. During World War II, servicemen far from home often requested gifts contain ing candies and cookies. Because it was necessary to mail Christmas gifts very early to U.S. troops stationed around the world, merchants began reminding the public to shop far in advance. From this practice, the extended holiday shopping season was bom. Most will agree that hardly anyone will refuse a chocolate offering.
