Deep frying your turkey has come into vogue within the past few years, thanks to Martha Stewart and all those celebrity chefs.

Since we here at Watch This Now want everyone to have a safe Thanksgiving, we've compiled safety tips on how to fry your bird without frying yourself.

For every safety tip courtesy of Miami-Dade Fire-Rescue, we will provide you with a tip we learned from from watching viral videos.

Fire-Rescue tip: Never use turkey fryers on wooden decks or in a garage.

YouTube tip: Never fry a turkey under a tiki bar.

Fire-Rescue tip: Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with marinades. Oil and water don’t mix, and water causes oil to spill over, creating a fire or even an explosion hazard.

YouTube tip: Oil and water really don't mix.

Fire-Rescue tip: Make sure the fryer is used on a flat surface to reduce tipping.

YouTube tip: Keep the fryer away from the house and have a rug handy.

Fire-Rescue tip: Never leave the fryer unattended. Most units do not have thermostat controls. If you don’t watch the fryer carefully, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire.

YouTube tip: Don't just plop the bird in the fryer. Don't do it "The Dave Way."

Fire-Rescue tip: Never let children or pets near the fryer while in use. Even after use, use caution; the oil inside the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot for hours.

YouTube tip: When frying a turkey, do not wear open-toed shoes.

Fire-Rescue tip: Do not overfill the fryer.

YouTube tip: If our tips haven't sufficiently scared you yet, here's a seven-minute turkey frying safety video courtesy of Underwriters Laboratories. Why does the narrator need to wear a helmet? I don't know.

At the 5:00 mark, there's a segment for our Spanish-speaking friends.
