Can this roaster hold a 24 lbs. turkey?

I roasted a 24 lb. turkey breast with stuffing under the turkey skin last Thanksgiving and it just barely fit. This year I plan on roasting no more than a 20 lb. turkey breast. Although I believe that a 24 lb. turkey will just fit, I would probably go with no more than 22 lbs. Hope this helps. I absolutely love this roasting pan and have bought 5 over than last two years, one for myself and one for each of my 4 children who also love it. It's very easy to clean and does an excellent job of roasting. My husband uses it often for his sausage calabrase. Hope this helps.

It's pretty big but we've never tried cooking a 24lb turkey in it. We've only cooked a pretty good size chicken, among other types of meat, in it and it worked absolutely great. Easy to clean, lightweight, and cooks a mean meal. Just looking at it, I think a 24lb turkey would barely fit so I would go somewhere under that weight. For that large of a turkey I would recommend a Nesco cooker. We used that every year to baste and roast a mighty fine turnkey. But you can do the same with Emeril Roaster, too. Happy Thanksgiving.

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.

Good question, I haven't received mine yet. I purchased the 15 in sz for a friend and I know it's not big dnough for 25+ lb turkey.

The Smoker/Roaster is going to be larger and have a capacity of 25lbs and the Turkey fryer has the capacity of 16lbs. The Smoker/Roaster also has an integrated smoker box and a stainless steel cooking grate to provide more variety, where the Fryer does not

The pan is 16x13 and I do believe it will fit a 20lb -24lb turkey, though I have not cooked one that large.

I have a 6 quart. A 12 lb. turkey is too big I would suggest a 20 qt roaster.

Yes It is huge I don't think a 22 pound turkey will fit but a 12 pounder will. I checked out a 10 pound ham that was in the frezzer and I had a lot of room to spare so maybe a 22 pound turkey would fit but not turn so well. The inside is larger than the outside. You can look at Sears. to see the inside of it. I still can't believe it myself. I love it and you will too.

It depends on the specific size of the roast. Yes, the unit can handle three pounds of food but the roast has to have roughly the same aspect ratio as the oven. If, for example, the roast is mostly circular in aspect ratio (like a ham), it either will not allow circulation around its edges or it'll stick above the water level or both. There is no question that a mostly 'tubular' shaped 3 lb roast will work.

Fully covered no bigger than about 20lbs. When using the shallow roaster, I've cooked a 26lb turkey on a rack.

I operate a catering business and I have cooked a 24 pound turkey in these size cookers. I do use a cooking bag and I make sure that the bag does not touch the sides of the cooked. I cook it at 350 degrees.

Not really. If you're roast meat is leaking enough for it to run over the board, I would suggest letting it rest longer so the meat can reabsorb it's own juices. At least 30 minutes for a 20 pound turkey.

if you can fit the bird in the roaster, you can cook it.... I cooked a 19 pounder last Thanksgiving, with the lid on, with no problem

This unit does not fry a turkey. The large fryer will do 12lbs and the xxl will do 14 lbs

Yes I have used them to truss a 23 pound turkey with no problem! this was my second time order them, I have use they for multiple uses! They are solid and they will stretch to fit a big roast

I used mine for a small turkey, I am sure it will be good for your roast, it is very sturdy and ajustable.

I do a 20-25 lb. turkey on the weber every year at thanksgiving, no problem.

Depends on the size of the turkey. ~16lbs or less will fit with no problem.
