That is a wonderful bit of propaganda put out by UL to justify their decision to categorically refuse to NRTL list turkey fryers as being intrinsically unsafe/ unable to be used safely by the general public. And yet one easily finds them on the shelves of Wal-Mart, Target, etc. (with no UL mark, of course) this time of year. Of course, you also read of a large number of fires/ injuries resulting from the use of turkey fryers this time of year as well so UL might have a valid point...
I particularly like the UL employee lowering the frozen turkey with tongs into a full vat of boiling oil while wearing what appears to be a full fire-fighting suit including breathing apparatus. It's just so wonderfully over-the-top. I also enjoy the image of dramatically tipping over the boiling oil towards the camera. Visions of the Middle Ages sure to appeal to our European friends! It's kind of old now (it came out in 2003 or 2004) but UL was seemed quite pleased with it and featured it prominently on their homepage at the time if I recall correctly. John P.
