Deep frying is hazardous exclusively in regards to larger ingredients such as Turkey. This is due to the potential for fires and injuries caused by missteps such as overfilling the fryer. There can even be explosive results.
My family decided against frying a turkey last Thanksgiving due to these risks.

We rarely fry in my house and when we do it's breakfast components so pan frying with vegetable oil is how we roll.
