Make sure you soak WELL, 30min., the top & bottom first. DO NOT PREHEAT the OVEN!! Spray the inside with nonstick cooking spray. Because your turkey will stick to the sides. A 9lb turkey at 250 degree F should take 4.5hrs. For slow cooking at that temp, I allow 30min/lb. Then I remove the cover for the last 15-20 min. and baste with herbed butter. Your turkey will be INCREDIBLY JUICY & MOIST, yet browned beautifully on top!!! I always fix a 12-14 lb. turkey, & this time table works GREAT. If your turkey is stuffed calculate 40min/lb. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Preheat oven to 325 F. Drain juices and pat dry with clean paper towels. Place turkey breast side up on a flat rack in a shallow roasting pan 2 to 2 inches deep. Turn the wings back to hold the neck skin in place. (Tucking the wings will help stabilize the turkey in the pan and when carving) Brush or spray skin lightly with vegetable or cooking oil for best appearance. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer deep into the lower part of the thigh without touching the bone. If the turkey is stuffed, move the thermometer to the center of the stuffing. Place your turkey in the oven. When the turkey is about &#8532; done, loosely cover breast and top of drumsticks with a piece of foil to prevent overcooking. Your turkey is done when the temperature with a meat thermometer is 180 F in thigh and 165 F in breast or stuffing. Lift turkey onto platter, and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.

I'm not sure. I fried 2 turkeys on thanksgiving and they were great. About 3.5 minutes a pound. The fryer works great.

Average 8-10 minutes per pound or 106 to 120 minutes. What I go by is 185 degrees on a meat thermometer in the thickest part. They include a meat thermometer now and I insert it before I start cooking and watch it during cooking. Just like oil frying, prepare your turkey, totally thawed, room temperature, dry, slightly oiled, rubbed inside and out with your favorite spices before putting it in the cooker.

Definitely would be good information to have. The 32 Quart cooker claims that it can cook up to 25 lb turkeys, but I wonder how much smaller this one is.

I've cooked whole chickens, beef and pork roasts in the pressure cooker all weighing over 3 lbs. Just make sure it doesn't fill the pan more than 2/3 full to allow it to steam. I recently cooked a turkey breast weighing over 5 lbs., however I did have to remove the backbone before I could fit it in the pressure cooker. Since I slow cooked the turkey breast instead of pressure cooking it, I didn't have to worry about how full it was. I came out juicy and tender. Soo good!

I just made a turkey in this roaster. I had the turkey on a rack inside the roaster. Added about 2 cups of water and put the lid on. I basted every 30-45 minutes. Removed the lid for about the last 45 minutes of cooking. The turkey was moist and the skin was crisp. Just had the last turkey sandwich for lunch today. Enjoy!

Depending on thickness 10 minutes on one side and about 7 minutes on second side it medium rare !!! Cook HOT

The turkey comes out crispy outside and juicy inside. The cook time is 4 minutes per pound. This is a phenomenal machine compared to gas turkey fryers.

I bought a 35 lb. box of Peanut Oil at Costco and it was enough to cook a 16 lb. turkey. The easiest way to measure where you want the oil level is to put the un-packaged turkey in the pot and add water to just over the top of the turkey. Remove the turkey and mark the side of the pot where the water level is. (I just scratched the inside of the pot with my pocket knife.) This will tell you how much oil you'll need to add.

Hi...the best way I can answer that is by the size of the turkey's we cook. A typical Thanksgiving Turkey at our house is 20pounds. NOT 23lbs but 20/21 max. Something else for you to think about. The Breast of the Turkey will not get Brown and crispy. My Grandmother had a Roaster that is still being passed around amongst my siblings. Her Roaster Lid was very heavy. Of all the Roasters I have tried and believe me I have tried them all...they do not measure up to Grandma's from the 40's or 1950's. The lids are made of thin cheap tin and do not cook the turkey as shown on the picture. And fyi we are huge Turkey lovers AND have years of experience in Roasters or oven cooking Turkeys. Sorry. We took ours back for a full refund. Until I find a heavy metal lid....I wont purchase a Roaster. The only upside is this Roaster, like all of them frees up the oven space for holiday cooking. As much as I hate to admit, I would rather cook all my food the day before and heat everything up in the Mirco wave. Giving my Turkey all time it needs to brown on top. Give it a try if you want, but I was encourage a run thru before the big day.

I'm assuming you mean a 7.5lb turkey breast. I would say yes, but it will need to cook on high for 12 hours.

Hi there!Directions say 10 minuts at 375 degrees. I cook them for 9.As a matter of fact, just last night I used them. Taco salad with ground turkey, refried beans, lettuce, and sour cream.Very yummy!

I'd venture to guess the manufacturer would have the temperature number. As for cooking on the warm setting length of cooking would likely be extended and the temperature must reach a safe degree when cooking any meat. Be careful.

We cook approximately 10 mins per pound. If you leave the lid off, the skin won't get as burnt.

I always use a 350 degree oven when making meatballs so they don't burn on the outside before cooking all the way through on the inside. How long depends on the size of the meatballs you have made. Small can cook in as little as 20 minutes, medium for 30 minutes, etc. Always check by cutting one in half to make sure there is no pink inside. If that one is not done, return them all to oven and add a few minutes at a time, checking until done. Chopped meat should always be cooked all the way through.
