Hi, I’m Chris Litwin, inventor of the LITWIN SAFETY SYSTEM years ago, my friend Frank invited me to try his famous deep-fried turkey. I had never even heard of frying a turkey, but after one bite I was hooked. Now, after years of experience, I like to think of myself as a bit of an authority on the subject. No one can resist the mouthwatering aroma of one of my backyard deep-fried birds—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. If you’ve never had the occasion to try a deep-fried turkey, boy, you better get cooking!!
One Thanksgiving I fried two turkeys at the home of my friends, the Burns. With a houseful of hungry guests, and each turkey in a separate pot, I timed it perfectly so that both turkeys finished cooking at the same time. Mind you, instead of waiting hours for an oven-baked turkey, a 14-pounder only takes about 45 minutes to fry. Plus, while the bird’s frying out back, it leaves your oven free to make all the sides and pies.
Back to my story: both turkeys were done cooking, and anyone who’s ever fried a turkey knows that once it’s done it has to hang and drain for about 20 minutes. So with two hot 14-pounders to drain and nothing to hold them, I was in a bit of a pickle. I was literally stuck “holding my bird.”
That night, the concept for the LITWIN SAFETY SYSTEM was born.
When used as directed, the LITWIN SAFETY SYSTEM makes turkey frying safer and easier.

• LITWIN SAFETY SYSTEM reduces fire hazard from hot oil spills. The unique automatic locking mechanism reduces the risk of the turkey dropping into the hot oil should you accidentally let go of the LITWIN SAFETY SYSTEM handle while putting the turkey into or removing it from the pot.

• LITWIN SAFETY SYSTEM safely and securely holds the bird for draining while you prepare the rest of your meal.

We designed the LITWIN SAFETY SYSTEM to fit most
30 to 40 quart pots—a new pot, or the one
you have been using for ten years.

May your frying be safe, and your turkeys be
tender and don’t get caught “holding your bird.”
