Can anyone whose used it attest to it browning the turkey all around, including the breast?

Yes! It most definitely ends up perfectly brown. Think KFC original roast ;)

The turkey I roasted was brown all around. in fact I had to put foil on the back to keep it from burning while the breast browned.

It is less brown on the breast side, but still my turkey had a nice color all around. If you are ambitious you could flip the bird right side up into your roasting pan for the last half hour or 45 mins. Some people that cook upside down do this, but I was happy enough with the way it looked. I forgot to take a picture in the chaos of getting ready or I would share it :/

No it does not. But it will turn the meat you are curing pink. Chemical creation. I use it brisket to make pastromi. One week of curing and it comes out pink.

Yes, I use it to roast chicken and turkey breasts. I made a lasagna once and have reverted to using Pyrex for lasagna. It is such a good size for smaller roasting and I use tha all clad roasting pan for our big family gatherings.

It does and doesn't it browns normally except where it immediately contacts the silicone, the area touching the silicone browns, but more slowly. If you cook a turkey for a normal time it will be evened out, but with a smaller chicken you will see an impression.

I haven't used it for a turkey yet but I did a chicken and it was outstanding. This product is amazing. I've cooked shish kabobs, ribs, ny strip, pork butt, pork chops, pork lion, corn, and salmon. All came out fantastic. Each time I filled the front with wood chips and let it go. Best cooking tool I've used in years. I barely use my grill now.

I have only used ground beef and ground turkey pressed through the gun, into thin strips-without additional trays (which you can buy)- I can make a little over 2lbs at a time, and it takes about 4 and 1/2 hours

I have not tried baking a small turkey. I like the T-fal but they should have put a light in it to make it a perfect one.

Recommend you Google recipes and instructions for "cooking a turkey breast". Lots of good tips.

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

Most definitely. The concept is to cook the bird on the outside and infuse steam to the inside to keep the bird moist. I recommend using a soda can (rinsed out) and filled half full of water mixed with your favorite seasonings. I did a turkey this way last Thanksgiving.

I bought this as a gift for my son. The only thing as far as I know that he has cooked in it is a turkey, which he said turned out good. That is all the feedback that I have.

There are Two good places to get this info. Go to "Lets Talk Bar B Que" forum and ask Tommy (TMB). Or look at Facebook "Charbroil TBE cooking forum" . (Its not the Char Broil site). I have cooked four turkeys on mine. They did great but its been a while. I use it a lot but not for turkeys. Be sure to brine and or inject the bird. Then give it 3-24 hours in the fridge to absorb the brine. The LTBBQ site listed above will give you lots of outdoor cooking help with a group of really good people. And remember, The internal temp is whats important. Not the amount of time. Time will vary for many reasons.... There are Two good places to get this info.

I have this model and it works great. Prime Rib, chicken is awesome on it. Found pork roast smoked up the room too much from fat on roast but it was good tasting.

Yes. The roaster does make it brown. I did not have to transfer to the oven to brown the skin at all. It actually took alot of stress out of making Thanksgiving. There is nothing in the oven taking up space. The turkey was moist and juicy with very little fuss.

My experience was that the cooking times in the book are accurate and cooking it in this roaster does make the breast meat nice and moist. If your family only likes breast meat you can actually fit two in the roaster at once. It will take a little longer to roast than one, but not double. Maybe 2-3 minutes more per TOTAL pound. I love the browning recipe that was in the booklet and use it for a nice golden color, but I also like to put herb butter between the skin and meat before roasting. Just lift the skin, leaving the major attachment at the breast bone and around the edges in place and use a paper towel to get this "pocket" as dry as possible. It helps the butter stick instead of sliding around. Per 1/4 lb of butter (which should do 2 breasts) add in 1 tsp of whatever dried herbs you prefer or 1 Tbs of finely minced fresh herbs. Hope this helps.

I have had no problems, I just use the moist setting and it works great. I have done ground meat without any trouble. I have also done chickenafter it has been rinsed and drained.

Hi, I've used my grinder (which I love--it's a terrifically strong and capable grinder) for grinding turkey breast.
