We have a 23.06 lb turkey, plan on putting it in the big easy, how long should we cook it for?

It can handle up to 16 lbs turkey. I don't think you will be able to use a 23 lb one.

It won't fit in the big easy the largest turkey it will hold is about 18 lbs.
1728449
It's only equipped to hold a 16lb turkey. If you go over 16lbs, I wouldn't do anything over 18lbs. because it may not cook properly.

Honestly? They recommend 12-14lbs. will take 2-3hrs. depending on outside conditions. I cooked a turkey breast yesterday, it was 5 lbs., outside temp 28F with a cold wind. Took 4 hours to get meat to 166F.

Funny you should ask, I just cooked an 4.6LBS turkey breast yesterday. The 6-Qt was a good size for this. It came out great but I did spend a short time braising the breast to add a little color and crispness to the skin.

Because a turkey breast is solid meat it takes twice as long to cook, or about 7-8 minutes per pound.

The largest I've ever done is 15lbs. I must tell you, we have cooked turkey in the oven since getting the "set it and forget it" and we always go back to the set it and forget it. It REALLY is the best.

You will need to improvise a hanger for the turkey,aluminum or stainless steel wire.an a pair of gloves to keep from getting burnt. Best turkey you will ever taste. Go for it. Peanut oil an 6.5 minutes for every pound of turkey. Make sure oil is boiling before you slowly let turkey into oil.

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.

Heat to 350 degrees.Wait for light to turn green.3 to 3 1/2 minutes per pound.When the turkey breast reads 155° to 160° it is done.Let it rest 15 minutes before carving.

It comes out crispy outside--and absolutely juicey inside--OUR BEST turkey ever! I think it took around 2-3 hours max for a 16 lb

The largest thing I have put in it is a 5 or so lb. chicken. It probably could do it although it may look crammed in there at first they alsways do shrink. Also I would cook on med instead of low.

You would need to lift the turkey and manually turn it to allow even cooking. The cooking oil does not cover even a 12 pound bird so the top would not be cooked and the bottom would be over cooked. While it says indoor, unless you want your house to smell like grease, take it to a porch or garage.

Preheat oven to 350 F, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hrs at same temperature; when done lift the insert and you have a fat free meatloaf. I love that pan.

I won't speak to turkey, but the chicken tastes much better! My husband especially loves a pork tenderloin too. Also, it cooks very quickly at 15 min. lb for chicken and 45 min. for a 1-1/2 pork loin.

i did a turkey for last thanksgiving that everyone loved... I like that it is electric and i don't have to worry about the propane. Just rub it down with peanut oil.

Everyone has a different method of cooking a turkey. I am of the school of thought that believes if the outside of the bird is pretty and golden brown, the meat will be dry. After I put the turkey in the pan, I add a little water to the pan, enough to come up 1/4"-1/2" from the bottom of the pan. This keeps the bird moist and gives you lots of broth for gravy. I also put the lid on and bake it covered. Again, it keeps the meat moist. The skin won't be all pretty and picture perfect, but the meat will be juicy and taste wonderful. The reason why I bought this pan was because it's big enough to fit 2 small 12-13 pound turkeys in it (smaller birds don't dry out as much as big birds) and it has a lid.

Hi Melody, I own two of these machines and gave one to two sisters and one to a son. I totally love it!!! For Thanksgiving I put a 6 1/2 lb. whole chicken on it and it turned out beautifully. I also do turkey breast with the bone in. I like doing them better then the whole turkey because you don't have to skewer it so much. Anyway back to your question about how big of a turkey this model takes. I agree with R. Fletcher when they said 12-15 lbs. Maybe a little smaller would be better. Hope this helps you out. Sandy G.

I've cooked several turkeys in my Ronco. 12 to 14 lbs fits great. Takes a 2 1/2 to 3 hrs., about 15 min per lb. The outside is always crisp and the inside always moist.moist. I don't wait for Thanksgiving, I cook turkeys whenever I 'm expecting a few extra guests.
