The fried turkey episode
The fried turkey episode of Good Eats shows Brown experimenting with turkeys. He can be seen frying whole turkeys in propane tanks. Yes, you read that right. He explains about Archimedes’ principle of buoyancy; all dressed up in what looks like a Hazmat suit, or the one that the actors wore in the movie ‘The Hurt Locker.’ A pretty innovative concept to explain the science behind cooking and frying turkeys.
