The Big Easy from CharBroil Receives UL Mark



- The Big Easy propane-powered turkey cooker is the first on the market to use infrared technology instead of oil to deliver the same moist, crispy and flavorful results in the same amount of time--start to finish--as it takes to fry a turkey in hot oil.

"The certification by Underwriters Laboratories underscores one of our original goals for The Big Easy: Offering a safe alternative to the popular practice of frying turkeys in hot oil," said Thom Ward, Director of Marketing for Char-Broil.

Historically, UL product safety experts have warned that traditional turkey fryers can cause devastating house or deck fires, and UL has never certified any type of turkey fryer that uses hot oil for cooking.

"For more than 110 years, UL has been dedicated to helping consumers avoid potential dangers in their homes. To achieve this, UL develops, reviews, and updates standards with input from knowledgeable experts," said John Drengenberg, the company's consumer affairs manager in Northbrook, Ill. "To maintain the integrity of this system, a product receives the UL Mark only after representative samples meet these stringent safety standards."

UL is one of the world's leading product safety testing and certification organizations, having developed more than 1,000 Standards for Safety that promote public safety and confidence. Millions of products and their components, including The Big Easy, have been tested to UL's rigorous safety standards, creating a safer environment for consumers.

"The good news is that The Big Easy allows Americans to continue experiencing the juicy and distinctive taste of 'fried' turkey--without the fear of splattering, spilling oil that can catch fire," added Ward.
