RFK Jr showcases risky cooking ‘the MAHA way’ by deep frying turkey in beef tallow – Washington Examiner
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nominee for Health and Human Services director, demonstrated a cooking technique he referred to as “the MAHA way” by deep frying a turkey in beef tallow. In a video posted on social media platform X, Kennedy outlined his unconventional method, explicitly highlighting the lack of safety precautions he employed. He used bare hands, wore short sleeves, and had no footwear while handling the turkey, which he described as the most dangerous part of the process. During the video, he advised viewers to lower the turkey slowly into the hot oil, cautioning them to wait until it stopped boiling before fully immersing it. He humorously interacted with his wife, Sheryl Hines, who declined to eat the turkey, prompting Kennedy to express confidence that the dish would turn out delicious. The video sparked discussions about cooking safety and Kennedy’s approach to food preparation.
RFK Jr showcases risky cooking ‘the MAHA way’ by deep frying turkey in beef tallow
Health and Human Services director nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. showcased how to “cook the MAHA way” with a video deep frying a turkey.
“This is how we cook the MAHA way,” Kennedy said in a video posted on X, explaining that he was cooking the turkey entirely in beef tallow.
The video was notable for the number of safety precautions eschewed by Kennedy, such as dipping the turkey in the oil without gloves and in short sleeves and taking it out while not wearing any footwear.
“This is the dangerous part,” he said while slowly lowering the turkey into the deep fryer.
“Put it in very slowly. Wait until it stops making noise,” he said over the boiling.
He jokingly asked wife Sheryl Hines if she wanted any, to which she replied that she doesn’t eat turkey.
“That’s gonna be delicious,” he said after showing the result 40 minutes later.
The video went viral on X, with various reactions. Many found the video amusing.
“RFK JR: ‘This is how we cook the MAHA way…’ *dunks entire turkey in sizzling hot beef tallow,*” influencer Benny Johnson wrote in a post on X. “America is so back.”
“Taking a huge turkey out of boiling hot oil in bare feet is the most RFK thing possible,” another user said.
Others weren’t as thrilled.
“Video of RFK deep frying a turkey in beef tallow which is incredibly stupid. If even a tiny bit of that tallow overflows, the whole thing will go up like Hiroshima and take the house with it. Brilliant,” one user said.
Though firefighters warn families every year not to deep fry frozen turkeys, showcasing the resulting fireballs in demonstration videos, deep frying a thawed-out turkey is safe if done properly.
