I need a replacement lid for a 20100809 turkey oil free fryer

Yes it heats quicker that way.

I just looked at the manual online. They don't tell you much do they? Anyway, other appliances that are similar that have the same type of temperature controller usually indicates that the fryer is heating up. Feel any heat?

The heat sensor for your turkey fryer is preset to 375 degrees F. Once the oil reaches that temperature, the sensor turns the flame OFF, so that the oil will not boil over and ignite. Once the oil cools to 325 degrees F, the burner can be relighted . Use extreme caution when relighting the burner. Altering or repositioning the heat sensor would make the fryer unsafe to operate.

I'm sorry. I which I had better news for you. Always, err on the side of caution & safety when dealing with open gas flames.

I can't find any parts for my fryer either. I don't think they even make the parts anymore. You could contact customer service at 1-800-489-1581 and give them the model number (SEDTFV).

Fry turkey 3 minutes per pound, then add 5 minutes to total cooking time

The oil should be hot enough so that when a drop of water is droped into it the oil will sputter, but not not hot enough to cause any smoking vapors!
