Is the electric heating element sealed off from the chamber where the turkey is cooked or is it directly exposed to the turkey?

The heating element is exposed. There is a frame that holds the basket above the element. We absolutely love this cooker.

no,the turkey sits in a basket and the heating element is just below that.If it,s fire your worried about,I,ve used this alot and no problems,the bottom of the basket and unit are like a funnel so no grease gets near the element.the cup they give you ia way to small so put a pot or something under it to catch the drippings or it will make a mess.If your buying this because it says indoor as I did,it,s not.the smoker will fill your house with smoke.this is a great cooker and you won,t be disappionted,smoker works really well and it does cook a 13lb. turkey pretty quick.my nieghbors have donated turkey,s during the summer for outdoor parties,it,s that good! no,the turkey sits in a basket and the heating element is just below that.If it,s fire your worried about,I,ve used this alot and no problems,the bottom of the basket and unit are like a funnel so no grease gets near the element.the cup they give you ia way to small so put a pot or something under it to catch the drippings or it will make a mess.If your buying this because it says indoor as I did,it,s not.the smoker will fill your house with smoke.this is a great cooker and you won,t be disappionted,smoker works really well and it does cook a 13lb. turkey pretty quick.my nieghbors have... » Read More no,the turkey sits in a basket and the heating element is just below that.If it,s fire your worried about,I,ve used this alot and no problems,the bottom of the basket and unit are like a funnel so no grease gets near the element.the cup they give you ia way to small so put a pot or something under it to catch the drippings or it will make a mess.If your buying this because it says indoor as I did,it,s not.the smoker will fill your house with smoke.this is a great cooker and you won,t be disappionted,smoker works really well and it does cook a 13lb. turkey pretty quick.my nieghbors have donated turkey,s during the summer for outdoor parties,it,s that good! « Show Less

the heating element is underneath the top grill. Cleanup is pretty easy. Use sponges only due to the nonstick surface. Also remember to clean the drip Tray on the side. I forgot to clean it one time but I was reminded a week later by a horrible smell.

It is completely sealed. Nothing can leak out. It is a phenomenal griddle. I highly recommend it!

Enamel, cleaned easily for me after roasting the turkey, which took a lot less time to cook than in my oven. The meat was literally falling off the bones when I checked on it! Love mine

Yes it was heated . All bottled and canned foods must be heated to a high enough temperature to kill all bacteria that would otherwise cause it to spoil.

Hi bro@home, There is only one heating element on the bottom and it is not shielded from spill damage.

The element is submersible and goes under the basket in the oil and is attatched to the controls outside of the basket. see video below If it wasn't in the oil, it would take alot of heat to get the frying temp high enough to fry such as a gas stove with a dutch oveh and a wire laddle to scoup out frys, If you dont like this than get a presto electric wok and fry in it like tempora and use a wire laddle to extract the fried food.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZmBD4XlilQ

They are exposed. But easy to reach. You must remove rack/ grill plate to get to the heating coil.

Exposed. This is my primary oven-I rarely turn on the large one under the stove. I love this thing.

It is a sealed unit (no Holes to leak out) It is four pieces 1. lid 2. cooking surface 3. heating element 4. cradle Its is easy cleaning, and even heating. It is an excellent unit.

Not sure what you mean, but it is the heat plate that goes above the burners. Locate between the burners and the food grate. Basically eliminates your food from getting burned by getting too much flame, etc.

I cooked a 23 lb turkey, roaster lid did not seal completely because of the height of the bird and top of bird stuck a bit to the roaster lid (use non stick foil to solve this problem) but it cooked great.

Its a quarts element with an IR filtered glass housing. So the unit itself doesn't generate a lot of heat, it heats up objects close to it via the IR.

It is electric, it keeps contents hot for extended serving. Great for Holiday gatherings or special events.

No, the heating element is not exposed. When the water comes to a boil, it shuts off automatically. I have always poured the water immediately and have not noticed if the kettle maintains heat for an extended period of time.

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.

It's electric and its a warmer to keep cooked soups hot that was previously cooked already but not for cooking
