The Char-Broil Big Easy Turkey Fryer, with TRU-Infrared cooking technology.

Since 1948 Char-Broil has been America’s favorite grill brand. Yet somehow, it feels like Char-Broil is still only getting started. Perhaps it’s because we know that making our products better also makes your cookouts better. And as long as that’s true, it’s all the motivation we need to continue innovating and improving what we make.

Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer

The Char-Broil Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer is the stress-free way to fry your turkey, roast, or other cut of meat. With no hot cooking oil to purchase, splatter, or dispose of, the Char-Broil Big Easy gives you a delicious, safe, and simple alternative to frying with oil. The Big Easy utilizes Char-Broil’s TRU Infrared technology, which eliminates hot and cold spots, and delivers juicy, crisp, and flavorful results every time. The fully-enclosed 16,000 BTU propane burners sit inside of a double-wall cylindrical cooking chamber, which generates infrared heat that circles the cooker to penetrate and cook the meat evenly, sealing in juices. The result is a turkey or meat that is moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, without the hassle or added fat and calories of oil. And because your food is cooked with infrared heat, not heated oil like others, you can prepare your bird or meat with seasoned rubs or injectable marinades- both of which are not an option with traditional fryers. The Big Easy allows you to safely cook a turkey (up to 16 lbs.) or chicken in about 8 to 10 minutes per pound, or use it to prepare a variety of other items including roasts, ribs, pork tenderloin, or other large cuts of meat.

Key Features

Large Capacity

Large capacity cooking basket allows you to safely fry whole turkeys up to 16 pounds, in as little as 8-10 minutes per pound. There's no waiting around for oil to heat up, and when you are done, there is no oil to dispose of. Enjoy crispy skin and juicy meat, without the extra calories or messy clean-ups.

Versatility

The Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less turkey fryer actually does more than just fry turkeys—it can also safely cook chicken, pork tenderloin, beef roast and most large cuts of meat. Also works great for both boneless and bone-in ribs, (rib hooks shown are sold separately).

Easy to Use

Cooking on the Big Easy is very simple. With only two knobs to control- one to turn on, and one to light the burner, operating is easy to do. And when you're done, it's compact size allows for easy storage.

Drip Tray

Also included with the Big Easy is a removable drip tray located underneath the heating chamber, which catches flavorful juices, allowing cooks to retain the essential ingredients for homemade gravy- to be further preparation on the stovetop.

Thermometer

The Char-Broil Big Easy comes complete with a thermometer, making it easy to know when your food is done, having reached the target internal temperature.

In the box

The Big Easy comes complete with the cooker, cooking basket, basket lifting tool, meat thermometer, quick start cooking guide, cool touch handles, rotary ignition and removable drip tray, (propane tank required for operation- not included).

Optional Accessories

Char-Broil offers a wide array of accessories specifically designed for use with the Big Easy, which allow the user to truly take advantage of this versatile machine.

The Better Basket, (Mfg # 6776791W06), features an easy-in, easy-out design which makes loading & unloading food faster & easier vs the standard basket included with the cooker. Stainless steel construction won't rust and is dishwasher safe, and collapses to a mere 1-inch tall allowing for easy storage in cabinets or drawers.

Our preferred way to roast turkey now!
We love this roaster! The turkey has always come out juicy and delicious, and overall we found it much easier to roast turkey in this than in the oven. I even took it along for a scout campout soon after Thanksgiving to treat the troop to a complete Thanksgiving dinner, served out in the woods! If you are considering buying this, make sure you have or add to your shopping list:- silicone gloves for grilling- digital meat thermometer with at least a 3' probe- AMOZO Beer Can Chicken Roaster Stand. This keeps the turkey upright and lets it roast evenly on all sides.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never looking back now
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023
I've been deep frying turkeys for over 20 yrs, usually just once a year; the relatives that come here over holidays expect it, as there is no comparison as far as flavor goes.
But (and I never told any of them)--it's a huge hassle and expense. Figure $40 for peanut blend oil, only to find out 3 gallons isn't quite enough, add some more $ for oil to completely cover the turkey. And the waste--yeah, I would either store it until I'm sure it was rancid and then throw it away, or would wait half the day for it to cool down enough to pour back in the box and freeze it. Did you know it takes 3 days at room temp to thaw frozen peanut oil? I do--years 13 through 20.
Year 7 it started raining. Rain and hot oil? Booya.
And it was dangerous, all that oil and open flame...actually I enjoyed the danger part.
Whatever rub you use on outside of the turkey boils off and makes it way to the bottom of the pot. Last year instead of spending a lot of time scrubbing the inch of crude off the bottom, I just threw the pot away.
Present day--found out about this Big Easy, and I'm thrilled.
Did a turkey today to make sure know what I'm doing (don't want to experiment on Thanksgiving).
This thing is idiot proof.
Every bit as delicious and crispy as deep frying. Even more so because the legs can be eaten (deep frying fried the legs and wings to nothing). And unlike deep frying, was able to capture the drippings for gravy.
Sold!
Now that it's so easy and cheap, plan to use it year round for a lot of different things.

Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2019
Went together fairly easy - except for a couple of screws on the bottom leg plates (fixed that with finding better screws) Was a bit scared to try it really, but , got over that after watching a few vids . The initial start up was fine except for some reason - the flame went out and I had to restart it - thank goodness I was there!! Very quiet - you don't hear anything really. As it got darker outside - I could see the blue flame easier. Cooking the pork roast went smoothly - except it did take twice as long as I thought it would - but that may be because it was quite cold outside and a bit of a breeze as well. Luckily - I also bought a a Thermapen MK4 - highly recommend!! Cleaning up was a lot easier than the grills on the BBQ - just make sure you spray the liner and basket with Olive Oil spray prior to cooking.
**UPDATE** after discussing with others on the Big Easy FB site - recommendations are:
#1- go by internal temp of meat - NOT by any time charts (temps and wind play a huge factor in cooking)
#2 - unless there is NO breeze outside - be sure to place the BE in a sheltered area to help with cooking temps staying consistent
#3 - if cold out - this will have an affect on cooking time - use the meat thermometer only to make sure it is done
