Do you put the timer outside of the oven and the probe in the turkey so that the cord is shut in the oven door?

Yes, the timer should be kept outside of the oven. If you put the timer inside the oven you will not to be able to hear the temperature alarm when the turkey is cooked.

It is designed to do EXACTLY that. The wire is thin and flexible enough not to interfere with the oven seal. Probe in the bird (thickest part of thigh), display can be magnetically stuck outside the oven somewhere or just on the counter.

yes. be sure to put the probe in the deepest part of the bird, just before hitting bone. don't worry about the cord melting; it won't.

I don't put mine in the oven and leave it, don't think that's recommended. I believe that you're supposed to insert it and do a spot check of the meat temp, rather than leave it in place while it's cooking. That's what works for me.

There is no timer on it, but I see no reason why you couldn't plug the cord into the wall with a timer in between.

yes but put the wire thru the hole at the side of the BBQ.... don't clamp the wire down with the BBQ lid. There should be a natural hole created by the lid and base of the BBQ when the lid is closed. For Tri-Tip roasts I do leave the probe in. I don't normally leave the wire probe in for stakes.. When I am ready to test each steak, I just scoot the steak over to the far front of the grill and insert the probe into the SIDE in the middle to get the temp. I am usually cooking several filet or other steaks at the same time so I test each steak one at a time.

No. This slow cooker is manual, so it must be physically turned on and off.

yes, you leave the thermometer in while it cooks; the alarm rings when it reaches the right temp.

If I recall correctly, the 'on' is for the oven choice and there is not a timer that stops the oven function, only the short-term toaster timer.

That's about the size of my oven. There's not room for other stuff while the turkey's cooking. Anything else gets cooked the day before or better yet at another guess' house. I do like my turkey straight out of the oven. A cooking bag in a shallow pan is a good idea as mentioned previously but do I prefer this roaster; turkey cooked breast down with a lifting rack under it. Breast down allows the fatty back to baste it. When almost done, I remove it from the roaster to brown the skin. On occasion, it has fallen apart in this process. All the easier to crisppen under broiler. I use this pan because the typical 16-18lb turkey just doesn't fit the next size smaller. That's about the size of my oven.

I haven't found it to be a problem. You have to be careful to close the oven door so as not to break or bend the wire.

You can add a timer at your wall socket. I don't use one though. I adjust my heat so I don't overdo the food.

Yes, the cord is attached in the upper right hand corner (when you are facing the front of the microwave). If you are looking at the oven from the back then the cord is in the left top corner. It is one inch from the top and one inch from the right side of the oven.

Fairly long, I plugged into my turkey breast at thanksgiving and the connection wire was more than long enough with the oven door closed and the base on the counter

The timer will automatically shut the unit off. In order for it to run however, the handle must be down. I love this unit and have baked or cooked lots of things already.

It's called a temperature probe and no you cant stick it in the oven as my wife did. Yes it has a battery and plastic casing which makes it great for intermittent temp checks. Check how hot the faucet water, how cold the fridge is and mostly the temps of chicken, meat and fish !

No, it doesn't. The cord is actually a separate piece that can be plugged into the body of the cooker and then out again if you so choose.

Automagically goes to keep "Keep Warm" when cooking time selected is completed. Never looked for an off switch, I just unplug it when cooking completed/ready to serve.

yes ive used it to finish pork shoulder that was done on the smoker.Wrapped it in foil and pressed the probe through the foil into the meat then let the oven door close on the cable with the unit sitting on the counter next to the stove
