William Shatner Would Like You To Avoid Setting Yourself on Fire

William Shatner gets some corporate money to tell yourself not to set yourself on fire while frying a turkey:

Warning: Just as the fryer is filled with too much oil, the video is filled with too much Shatner. Way, way, way too much.

For those with low Shatner thresholds, the advice is:

  • Don’t overfill the pot with oil.
  • Turn off the flame when lowering the turkey into the oil.
  • Always fry your turkey away from your house.
  • Properly thaw the turkey before cooking.
  • Use a grease-approved fire extinguisher.

    • If you’re going to fry a turkey, this is pretty sound advice. And if you live in central Texas, you probably shouldn’t be frying a turkey at all this year with the drought restrictions.
