Stay Safe While Frying Your Thanksgiving Turkey

Frying a turkey has become a popular Thanksgiving tradition for its unbeatable flavor and crispy texture. However, it comes with some serious risks if not done properly. Fires, burns, and property damage are just a few of the dangers that can quickly ruin your holiday. At Prepared Insurance Agency, we want you to enjoy your meal and stay safe. Here’s how:

Key Turkey Frying Safety Tips

1. Stay Outside: Always fry your turkey outdoors, on a flat, non-flammable surface, and far from your home, garage, or deck.
2. Keep It Dry: To avoid dangerous oil splatters, ensure your turkey is completely thawed and dry before placing it in the fryer.
3. Never Leave Unattended: Always monitor the fryer and keep children and pets far away.
4. Use the Right Amount of Oil: Overfilling the fryer can lead to spills and fires.
5. Keep a Fire Extinguisher Nearby: Make sure it’s rated for grease fires, as water can make the fire worse.

How Insurance Can Protect You

Accidents happen, even when you’re careful. That’s why it’s essential to review your homeowners or renters insurance policy to ensure it covers accidental fires or property damage. If a mishap occurs, your policy can help cover repair costs or liability for injuries.

Don’t let a preventable accident dampen your holiday spirit. Stay safe, enjoy your feast, and know that Prepared Insurance Agency has your back if the unexpected happens.
