Would this be good for brining a turkey?

Sure it is perfect for brining a Turkey. The food grade bucket is the same that restaurants get shipments of brined everything in.

I am sorry I have never used this for a turkey though it is very large. I would assume a large Turkey would fit.

As long as the "retainer brackets" adjust to your 30 quart pot then I believe you could use it to fry a turkey because the BTU's are plenty.

Yes, i used it for a thanksgiving turkey on the bar b que. Although it did warp a little and i would reccomend lining it with foil, for easy cleaning.

I have not used it on a turkey. A chicken does brown on the bottom EXCEPT for where the silicone was touching the chicken.

You will be able to cook a turkey............size is a factor. I cooked a 12 lb turkey and it worked great. You need to ensure that all parts are tied down, and I do mean tied down. Nothing can touch the heating element !

So far I have used it to slice a whole ham,and tri tip roasts.So I am sure come Thanksgiving it will work just fine.It really is a great item,my husband keeps saying how much he loves it....Happy Thanksgiving.

I doubt it. I have used it for as much as a 7 pound chicken with no problems, but I don't think that it would be big enough for a turkey.

Yes the bottom oven works well for a turkey, the top oven would be too short.

By the way, the cook time guide provided is dead on for chicken and turkey. I haven't used it for any other type of meat yet. It works especially well with brined whole chicken.

I would think so. It is heavy duty and large (although that is relative to the size of your turkey and the size of the bag!). I would make sure to put a pan underneath it and keep the zip-lock end at the top.

It will turn and do a great job on up to 15 lb turkey. I had one years ago, and used the farberware for at least 10 turkeys. It self-basted, and took no longer than an oven. And back then (early 80's) cost no where near $200, or even $100. Lost it in a house fire, tho. (the farberware was not at fault)

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.

I have used it for a 17 pound rib roast and it worked very well. It should easily hold a 30 pound or even somewhat larger turkey.

Sure! You can use it for steaming, boiling or deep frying. We used it last night for steaming veggies, seafood, and sausage. My dad uses his to deep fry turkey.

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