IN RESPONSE TO THIS MORNING’S TURKEY-FRYER WARNING FROM WILLIAM SHATNER, reader Laurie Myers writes:

The answer to safe turkey frying is this. I bought one last Sunday at BJ’s and paid $119, so Amazon’s price [$89] is fantastic. We used it on Sunday and the turkey came out great. I can’t imagine frying the turkey the way it is done in the video.

Too late for Thanksgiving, but worth noting. And there’s always Christmas.
