Do you want to remove a pop up timer that many frozen turkeys come with or can you use that instead of a thermometer?

I believe pop up timer will melt The Big Easy cooks a lot hotter than your oven so I always use a thermometer and also because I don't trust the accuracy of those popups anyway.

No, you just have to check on your food. You can always set another timer in your kitchen, like the one on many stoves.

No you don't have to use the timer. All you have to do is push the button in do not hold it in this is what sets the timer.

Yes, you can use our own timer with this product. I am currently using one that I purchased from Home Depot. For further questions you can contact the Super Feeder company. They answered all of my questions. http://www.super-feeder.com/contactus.html

The pins should be pulled out when you don't want it to be on. In when you want the timer to work. You don't need to open it at all. simply push the pins in or pull them out. To lift them up put your fingernail under the outside of the pin and pull up. To put them down push them. I hope that is clear.

Yes. I also recommend that you purchase an instant read thermometer also. The reason why is that with cooking a turkey your thermometer could be off a 1/4 of an inch and get a complete different reading. One other tip...don't submerge your prob in water to clean, it will ruin.

No to the timer. Yes to the adjustable thermostat. I agree that it makes great jerky and is very easy to use and to clean. I liked it so well that I bought one for my son.

Yes. You can use this timer. Check you're defrost tubes,make sure they are not burned out. First.

Either way. Change the "lever" on the left side to Timer and then hold down the button until you get close to the time you need, let up and press it one number at a time. If you go over what you want you have to start over. That's the only drawback. Otherwise I find this my favorite timer and carry it with me so I never miss what I'm timing and don't have to hover over what I'm cooking. Love it and hope you do or will too.

No, you can't use this with a timer, but there is a thermostat so it will shut off once it reaches a certain temp, just like your thermostat in the house.

I use my dehydrator about once a week. Trays are chrome and don't leave any taste from the chrome.Yes a setable thermometer for different foods. I love this food dehydrator the best investment ever.I have had those plastic dehydrators and always had to re place the trays. you can use wax paper on trays. Easy to clean comes apart for quick cleaning.Alicia

No, there are specialized products for those. Look for an immersion thermometer from companies that specialize candy and deep frier equipment.

using a separate timer WILL NOT WORK. a separate timer kills power, no power no program. no program, no cooking. you have to press a button to start it so a separate timer is useless ALSO put ice in it It will keep food from spoling and make your meat juicy. this HAS NO time, but the spoiled food concept can be outsmarted with icecubes

Yes you can! The thermometer comes pre calibrated. If you'd like to calibrate anyways instructions are included in the box. You just need to place the thermometer in ice water and press the CAL button

The box the thermometer came in had a few in it, but you can use it without them too.

YES, YOU CAN, but you will probably never need to. It uses a very inexpensive button battery (Walmart has them 10 on a card for $1.50). These batteries are designed to last for 200 hours. Since it takes 10 seconds to get a reading, you could take someone's temperature 4 times a day and not have to change the batteries for 50 years. BTW, the opening for the battery is on the side opposite the button to turn it on... the instruction booklet tells you where and how to do it. You can download the instruction sheet (just Google the thermometer at the Vicks web site) if you've lost it. I've had this thermometer for 5 years and never had a problem with it.

I would imagine that you could if you could find a replacement. The timer in the center does come out and then snaps into place.
