can you cook veggies the same time you do a turkey

They would need to be in the cavity wrapped in foil. The bird will take up most of the room

Usually I wait with the turkey till it's done eating the veggies. ;-)Honestly, I have no clue. I am still a newbie to the rocket. All I did so far is one set of ribs.

Yes, unless the turkey is so big as to take up all the room inside. I cook veggies same time as chicken often.

Yes, I think you could put veggies in with a turkey. This cooker is very impressive. I was leary about it at first but the turkey breast I did was awesome.

Absolutely I have cooked rump roasts, beef brisket and eight pound turkey breast in this slow cooker with vegetables. I think there is more room in this rhan my round slow cooker. Highly recommend. Enough room for 3 or 4 people I would say. Hope this helps.

Yes, the process is the same but the cooking time is different. Check the cooking chart that comes with the cooker for info.

Yes, you can cook whole turkeys. It will be the best turkey you will ever eat, no brining required. Please check out our videos. Thank you,

Yes, but unlike beef roasts for example, whole turkeys have both white and dark meats so I also use an "instant read" thermometer to be sure the dark meat is done because dark meat always takes longer to cook than white meat does. Before I became a good knowledgeable cook I used to roast the turkey thighs and legs separate from the breast so that the breast wouldn't dry out before the dark meat was done. Now, at age 67, I can almost tell if a turkey is done by looking at it's beautiful golden brown color and it's aroma wafting throughout my home but just to be safe I check it's dark meat temperature in the thigh (nothing worse than tough barely done dark meat) with my instant read thermometer. Happy Cooking!

Yes, you can schedule the pot to cook at the same time every morning, just remember to make sure the pot is empty before it starts a new pot. I have forgotten to check and have had it overflow on the counter. My error.

Yes, you can. I have cooked everything from rice to fresh vegetables in mine. I absolutely love mine.

YES, you can steam veggies as long as your steamer basket fits in the pan. Or you can use the trivet if that works for the veg you're steaming. Add liquid (water, broth, etc), 1/2 cup or up to the level of the trivet or basket. Close the pressure cooker and start timing when it comes up to pressure. For veg that cook in a short time, reduce pressure immediately by running cold water over the outer edges of the cooker or by holding down the pressure release valve. For those requiring a longer cook time (most root vegetables), allow pressure to reduce normally.

When I cook a turkey in mine for Thanksgiving, I take the insert with turkey in it & put it under the broiler for a few minutes, this helps make it brown & pretty!

Turn on the oven to the temp. you're using for your main course. Put a little water in the upper pan, set in the insert (with holes) in the upper pan and set your veggies--or whatever you want to steam--on the insert--makeing sure some water remains while you're steaming. It's a great way to fix an entire meal at the same time, using very little energy.

No. You can use one probe for fiood and the other for smoker temp, or both probes for different meats at the same time.

Joy, I haven't mixed vegetables but I did a banana. Suggestion-cut the vegetables very fine before you put in glass to mix.

Absolutely! We have cooked broccoli, zucchini, squash, corn on the cob...just cook it in shorter intervals (and test it to see if it's done enough for you) and it's amazing! The moisture just stays with the veggies!

You need to place your veggies on a sheet of foil, pour just a little bit of water over them, season them however you like (ex: lemon pepper dry seasoning or squeeze some lemon juice on them) then cinch the foil at the top like a cinched purse but leave a small opening, place on any of your racks and cook on high power for about 8 to 10 minutes. If you place them on a lower rack then you can cook a protein like fish or chicken on the upper rack at the same time.

I make turkey bacon for my son all the time, I cook 55 seconds per slice up to five slices. I haven't made more than five slices at a time so I'm not sure if you run into problems if you start to get into longer times. Also that makes the bacon pretty crispy,just the way my son likes it.

I juice all the veggies first and then save the pulp and make turkey/veggie burgers with it. Just freeze the veggie pulp until you have enough and then buy some ground turkey and make patties and throw them back in your freezer for the future! They are so fresh tasting! I compost the fruit pulp.
