Can I use Deere's Low viscosity hystat oil to deep fry my turkey? If so.............will it taste OK?

Matt, I thought it would be okay. I just wanted to check here first. I'm glad I finally found a good use for all that used oil.
Happy Thanksgiving to all TBN members!

Go with Mobil 1 , you can run at a higher temp and it will be easier to poor out of the pot tonight when it is cold ! (might even get an extended oil change interval) Happy Thanksgiving and be safe !

Is it better to use synthetic oil to cook a turkey? Does dino flavor go with turkey?

Just returned from dinner at my parents. Everyone loved the deep fried turkey. Said ''it had a really unique flavor''

Motor oil is not food grade. Might taste okay but would have potential carcinogens absorbed into the meat. Synthetic likely wouldn't but might have some metallics in the additives. Not sure what the additives are in a synthetic. There are plenty of heavy metals that I wouldn't want to ingest in dino motor oil, not too much in transmission type oil. Gear oil would be loaded with carcinogenic aromatic molecules unless it's synthetic or hydrotreated.

Melted wax is food grade, but the amount you need would be pretty expensive.

Have you checked into getting some Wesson, peanut oil or other type of cooking oil?
