Can you cook a turkey at high heat in it? (500&ordm;F for an hour+)

Dear Wisny, I don't cook my Turkey on that high temp. The instructions always say to cook on low temp, the pan itself works great, holds the heat & in fact It held a 22lb Turkey w/room to spare!! The only problem I had was that the Pan was to long to close my oven, so the handles had to be bent down in order to have the oven door close, I didn't think about this pan being long, it came w/a rack that was coated so as not to have turkey stick, I also spayed my pan & rack w/Pam (just in case) lol. I think the high heat wouldn't hurt this type of pan, but I worry cooking your Turkey on such a high heat! May I asked why so high? You could really dry out your ( just becareful the pan Does hold the heat!) Turkey unless you basted it every 10mins or used a cover. I don't know if this helps? Maybe others can give you better answer! Have a Great Day, Regards & Tku. Trish. :o)

I also think it would depend on what time period you are talking about. I know sometimes I will roast my T-day turkey at 425 for an hour then lower temp. to 325 for remainder of roasting time. But I also wrap the rack in heavy duty foil prior to roasting. I would be cautious especially of the nonstick surface .

Sorry. I haven't cooked anything at 500 degrees. I usually just use it for chicken or turkey in a 350 degree oven. If you want to glaze a ham I would pull out the probe first, add glaze and then put it in a hot oven for a few minutes.

Yes I just oiled it and heat it on high for at least 5 minutes before putting it to the temp I want. Parts of it seem to cook differently sometimes though. I believe a booklet with instructions came with. It is helpful.

Yes I think you could, but I don't know of any recipe that calls for that high a tempature.

Yes. I also recommend that you purchase an instant read thermometer also. The reason why is that with cooking a turkey your thermometer could be off a 1/4 of an inch and get a complete different reading. One other tip...don't submerge your prob in water to clean, it will ruin.

We heat ours twice, 3 times max. While its heated you can fry multiple turkeys, but after it cools, re-heating breaks it down more quickly.

Yes - that is what I understand (I have not done it yet but supposedly and as 'Chefdjm' responded as long as you do not exceed the 200 degreesF)

I would assume it is safe to use at that high of a temperature. Just make certain you remove the plastic lid as that is NOT oven safe.

I usually cook a 20 Lb., turkey in it. I wouldn't recommend going much over that because you want to allow enough room for the infra-red heat to evenly bake the turkey. If you plan to purchase a frozen turkey, allow it to thaw naturally in the fridge as recommended on the label. Be sure to hook up to a fully charged propane tank. This is the fourth year using it at Thanksgiving. I've also used it at Christmas, Easter and other times. Perfect color. Perfect doneness. Moist and juicy. Even the stuffing is better. It's just great. The bonus is not having a hot kitchen for hours while doing other things. I usually cook a 20 Lb., turkey in it.

The temperature tops out at about 300 °F and would dry out or burn the food. I usually put the food in about a half hour before to warm it.

Yes it will. The High-Temp Probe can be inserted into the bird and left in during the cooking process. The cable and probe junction is sealed, and the cable itself will withstand short term exposure up to 700°F. Plenty of room when frying at 300°F.

The high setting will max out just above 190F. I found this very disappointing for things that you want to simmer, iIt will take about 8 hours to cook a decent sized roast.

Yes there is a range of cooking temps. I have not used the highest temp setting as of yet to do any cooking.

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.

If the rack is at it's lower setting, cook time will be comparable to that if cooked in your large oven at the same temperature setting. If the rack is turned over to its highest setting, then you are probably broiling at the highest temperature setting and you'll have to watch closely so that your food doesn't burn. Use an "oven proof" thermometer if internal food temperature is important to what you're cooking, in either case. Remember, this unit is just a small oven with both infra red and heated air circulation doing the cooking. Treat it like a small convection oven and you'll do just fine with the rack at its lowest setting. If you have this unit, you should have received a cook book with it.
