How do I cook a tough older farm rooster? I tried at 10 minutes with 1 1/2 cups liquid and the breast was dry and all the meat was hard and impossibl

Ensure the rooster is submerged in the water. 3 mins in high flame and 5 mins in medium flame. Let it stand till the steam is released. Open after 15 to 20 mins.

The most weight I have ever had on it was a chicken that was just a hair under 5 pounds. I just happened to re-read an old post that I had written about this rottiserie and someone who commented on it said that she had cooked a 10 pound prime rib roast on it. I would listen carefully to the motor. It makes a different sound when it is straining too hard. I think I might be nervous to put that much weight on mine, only because it is getting more difficult to find replacement parts (right now only available on e-bay) since this rotisserie is not made any more. Too bad! I hope they bring it back! The most weight I have ever had on it was a chicken that was just a hair under 5 pounds.

Cook the chicken at the lowest temperature. ..and you have checked the chicken once in awhile. And you have cook the the chicken more the once.

Mine doesnt snap either. I cooked mine at 9 minutes and it was a soft hard boil which i like better than a rock hard boil. Try it again for a longer time u will find the exact time you need and it wont change after that! Try one at a time if u dont want to waste eggs. One or more doesnt matter. The cat or dog will love your experiment!!

I have cooked 1 cup of rice as the smallest quantity. I normally use 1 to 1 with my liquid (usually chicken, beef, vegetable or mushroom stock). Give it a try at 3/4 but use 1 cup of your stock and watch it carefully the first time. I bet it works just fine. Good luck!

I use the slow cooker setting at low for steel cut oats. 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 hours. The way that I actually do it is to put 3 1/2 cups of water to start and then cook it for 1 1/2 hours. When the beeper beeps, I add the remaining 1/2 cup water and then a good handful of dried fruit--my favorite is dried cranberries. If necessary, I add additional water. Essentially what I did was take the directions from the can of steel-cut oats and translated it to the cooker. I also generally cook my oatmeal at night so that I can haul it into to work with me. It gives me something good to look forward to when I get to work. Enjoy your new cooker. Edited for spelling.

Jerry, I did not have my Krups egg cooker long enough to make hard boiled eggs. I have checked The Joy of Cooking cookbook and found 10-15 minutes are recommended to make hard boiled eggs. I would suggest beginning with 10 minutes and see if is the hardness you want.

I think it's confusing too. Figured out how to cook T-bone steaks and Ribeyes.Whole Chicken, Turkey Breast, Chicken thighs and pork chops. Tried a meatloaf and it didn't cook all the way thru. Maybe my fault - I don't remember. The cook book could be better.

I have a question about your question--how long and at what temp do you cook the 7.5lb turkey breast? I'm actually trying to cook that exact thing in my slow cooker right now--recipe called for 4.5 lb turkey breast and husband bought 7.5lb one! Put it on low for 10 hours--will that work??? How do you cook that? Thank you!!!

Use a meat thermometer and a small fire (you can't cook a whole chicken on coals because it'll take too long) or the outside will burn before the meat is anything but pink. It's probably better to cook a few steaks on it to get a better idea of how that will work with less risk of food poisoning. Don't cook directly on the grid, as the paint is probably toxic. In my opinion, meat on spit is best done covered so the smoke can penetrate assuming you have decent choices for wood. Great: Hickory, Oak, maybe Maple. Bad: pretty much everything else. Birch tastes like smog lol

It depends on hot hot you keep the fire and how high above the fire the chicken is but we did a turkey breast about that size and it took 3 hours. I recommend using a thermometer to check the temp every once in a while. It goes slowly at first but then in the end it comes up to temp more quickly.

The chicken breasts we cooked this summer came out great. Marinated overnight, lots of garlic and ginger. I suspect that it would also work as a smoker, using low heat, and using thoroughly soaked wood chips. Haven't tried that, but it would be interesting.

I tried the recommended 4 min @ LB but now go with 5 min. at 350 degrees. You may have to experiment depending upon the type of oil you use and the temperature of the bird. I found the area between the thigh and the body a bit raw, so increased the time.

use chicken broth instead of water for starters. 2nd day, like stew, tastes better. try adding beef cubes, chicken bits or sausage...

Ortega is shouldn't take that long. It took me under three hours for a fifteen pound turkey. I would call char broil and see if they can help you come up with a solution
