How many pounds will it hold of the turkey

Last year I made a 24 lb turkey in it. The legs were hanging out a bit, so I lost some juices, but other than that it worked well.

I use it mainly for roasting vegetables, but I estimate that it would hold a 12# to 15# turkey if it was well trussed. The problem would be turkey juices and basting juices dripping outside the pan.

We put a 10 lb. turkey(small) in it and the bag broke spilling everything all over the kitchen floor-good luck to you!

Hi Melody,I own two of these machines and gave one to two sisters and one to a son.I totally love it!!!For Thanksgiving I put a 6 1/2 lb. whole chicken on it and it turned out beautifully.I also do turkey breast with the bone in.I like doing them better then the whole turkey because you don't have to skewer it so much.Anyway back to your question about how big of a turkey this model takes.I agree with R. Fletcher when they said 12-15 lbs.Maybe a little smaller would be better.Hope this helps you out.Sandy G.

I have put a 25 pound turkey on it in my large roasting pan - that is the largest I have tested! I have also put two 5 pound chickens side by side.

It depends on how tall a turkey rather than how big. Nesco says a 22 lb turkey. I fit one that was a little bigger--I think it was 23 lbs and stuffed, but it was not tall, just wide. The lid barely closed, but the turkey was so good that my sister-in-law, who usually does thanksgiving, asked me to bring it so she could use it this year.

Mine is either the 111 or 109 & I'm sure it would hold a 4lb. turkey breast.

No, it's not big enough for a Turkey. It holds poultry up to 8 pounds (as mentioned in the item description.)

I'd say no. I sent the pan back. When I purchased it it stated it could hold a 25 lb turkey, there is NO WAY this pan would hold that big a turkey!!! Hope this helps.

Yes, it will easily hold your 18 pound turkey. Nice rack, heavy in construction and large size.

We have been able to put a lot of groceries or other packages in it and carry it into the house. I would say it would hold 35-40 pounds easily.

I think 40 lbs is about the limit. We did av17 lb turkey for Thankgiving and it worked great

I cooked a 26 pound turkey and it was tight. I don't think it will hold a 45lb. turkey and personally I would cook 2 smaller turkeys because they taste much better.

I'll let you know after Thanksgiving. I'm planning on a 20 lb turkey, so I'm hoping it will hold at least that!

I brined a 7lb turkey breast in my 8 qt container recently. But it wouldn't have held any more than that. A large turkey would take something more like a small plastic tub or tall bucket might work as long as it is food safe.

Not sure, but I wasn't impressed when I made the turkey. It has a rack that made it very difficult to get the bird out. You would think the handles would of been long enough to pull it out. It fits exactly a 22 lb turkey and the rack was of no use. Was not too happy that I bought this for my son. I would think it would handle any degree - we had 350 and it was fine.

I have not used it yet, but I had another brand the same size, and I have made a 24 lb turkey in it. So you should have no problem with a 20 lb turkey.

Yes, it can handle a 14-pound turkey. The lid is domed and the inside is spacious. You will need to monitor the temperature of the grill, but certainly feasible. Yummy!
