Can you lift the turkey out of the pan using this rack? Or would it break the rack?

The rack is pretty beefy, much more so than I expected when I ordered it. You might have a problem with a 25 pound turkey, but otherwise it should be fine. For what it's worth, I have only used it for beef roasts, though.

I would not use it for a turkey; rack not big enough to support a large one. I still have the cardboard that came wrapped around the rack and right on it it says "Heavy duty with wide handles for safe and easy lifting." I would just lift straight up because if you should tip the rack to one side or the other just a bit, the way it locks into adjustable place will collapse and you could drop the meat.

No. This is more a Perdue oven stuffer Chicken size although I have used it for roast meats with good results

That would depend on the kind of roast and cut of meet. Even if the food extends past the length of the rack, it would be elevated in the pan. I guess you would have to determine the size of the pan you need to hold the meat or poultry.

Yes, but you would need a pan to catch the drippings. It holds a 18# turkey with out a problem. Although it has a non stick surface, I have found that a slight mist of Pam makes the first clean up a bit easier. I have used mine to hold 6 full slabs of ribs, a couple of giant boston butts, large pork picnic and like I said an 18# turkey. All on my grill but I make an aluminum pan out of heavy duty foil but I smoke all of my meat on my Napoleon gas grill. I cooked my turkey in under 3 hours. Much easier than inside at thanksgiving when oven space is a premium. The nicest part is no matter how you use it. The two large handles make it easy to move around.

Yes. think of it as a standard cooling rack, but form fitted to the shape of the pans and with "handles" so you can lift it out easily, even if fully loaded.

The rack does not pull the rack out. The door will stop where ever you stop opening the door, it can rest on the counter. One is able to remove the rack with no problem. I hope this helps you. I really like my Calphalon. Use it almost daily.

You should be able to, but we used it one time for groceries, and light groceries it was, and it broke the first time. We returned it.

Yes it can, but I would not recommend this rack. A spot weld on the frame broke after one use.

It's rather flimsy to use without something more sturdy underneath it. I do use it on a cookie sheet but it should be able to withstand being placed on the rack.

I would think so using the rack. That's a question someone else could answer better than me.

You should be able to but you'll still feel a little heat so you can't hold it too long. I've transferred a couple of pork shoulders from my smoker without any problem. I've also transferred whole chickens, roast beefs, and smoke ribs so I don't think lifting a turkey would be a problem.

Yes you can remove the seat from the rack by flipping the small lever in front and sliding. Watch out for finger pinch though.

I would say yes. Of course depending on the size of your roast. I prepared turkey breast an then a 3 lb pork tenderloin. Definitely takes strength to lift from thru oven.

Yes, you would use tongs. There is no way to grip or lift the rack safely while hot. I use it to heat or cook tamales, also teriyaki chicken bundles, pot stickers as an example. Have use it for asparagus etc.

The rack does not have a quick release lever. It uses a hex screw which would be an extra step.

Yes you can no problem. Another set of forks is nice but if you don have them I have just rapped them together with butchers twine and works fine. Thats how I have done it but as one other mentioned the metal sKewers would work too. I think the product said 14 lb. weight limit but I have done a 22 pound turkey with no issue.

It may hold a SMALL turkey but it will not cook. This oven is not hot enough to cook anything. I tried to use mine twice without success and just it away. It's a waste of money. My advice, DO NOT BUY.

Absolutely not. I placed five lightweight Teflon pans on this rack and it broke into multiple pieces and crashed to the floor, damaging my pans, my wall and my floor. It is beautiful but of such a lightweight wood, I would even venture to say it's made of a balsa-type wood. I bought it because it was made in America but it is absolute junk.
