Roaster!

[pitbull]

a few days ago I posted here asking for "roaster tips" - well, GOT my roaster, GOT a bunch of roaster cookbooks, and have had one success after another.... if anyone WANTS roaster info, I bet I could xerox and fax them my cookbooks!

hey pitbull -
I'm cooking my 16 lb. turkey in an 18 qt. GE roaster.
From what I can come up with (which isn't much),
would you estimate that I'll be cooking around 5-5½ hours
at 350 degrees?

Any other help would be so appreciated!
feel free to pm me, if you'd like.

jkath, are you wanting to make turkey jerky! Unless those things are different than ovens, I would think you should be in the 3.5 +- hour range.

Roaster Recipes

Guys- email me OUTSIDE of this chat-site, and I'll scan and send you scans of the pertinent pages tomorrow - how's that? But I have the Nesco 18-quart, with the fan in the lid that REALLY helps stuff BROWN - I have both books though, for the one with and WITHOUT the blower in the lid, and I coulds send both! Just put "roaster recipes" in the memo line, and send to pitbull@gmail.com - ok?

Well, that's from the user's manual from the roaster. (Things take a while, more like a crockpot, but with extra bells & whistles.)

I'm still going between the roaster and just cooking the bird like my Grandpa did for years: cook the day before, slice it up nice, put into a large casserole dish (or dishes), cover with juices, cover tightly w/plastic wrap and then bake in the oven (foil covered) the next day. It's a lot easier to eat, since there's no carving time)
