Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF/71ºC and poultry products should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170ºF/77ºC - 180ºF/82ºC to be sure any harmful bacteria has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked to an internal temperature of 165ºF/74ºC. Hints for Cooking in the Turkey Roaster

• Smaller turkeys, under 6.8 kg/15 lbs., cook more evenly than larger birds.

• Roast turkey for 40 minutes/kg or 18 minutes/lb. (including stufng weight)

• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry.

• Browning meats before roasting helps reduce the amount of fat and adds richness and avor. Turn temperature control to 232ºC/450ºF and add oil or butter. Sear for 10 to 15 minutes per side until golden brown.

• The higher the fat content, the less cooking liquid needed. When cooking meats with a high fat content, use thick onion slices under it so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat from top of foods before serving.

• If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the lid and turn the temperature control to 232ºC/450ºF. After 10 to 20 minutes, the amount of liquid will be reduced. NOTE: To thicken quickly, drain excess liquid into in a small saucepan and simmer until it has reduced to half. Season to taste after the reduction.

• Simmering less tender cuts of meat will make them very tender. Add a glaze, gravy or a avorful sauce before serving.

• To assure overall browning for brined or self-basting turkeys or other poultry, air-dry turkey uncovered in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours. (See recipe included in this Instruction Manual.) Baking in the Turkey Roaster

• Turn the temperature control to the desired temperature. Allow Turkey Roaster to preheat for 20 minutes.

• Cover the wire rack with heavy duty aluminum foil to use as a baking sheet.

• Place the wire rack inside the preheated pan; add baking pans and casserole dishes to the top of the rack.

• The pan and rack will hold most 1 and 2-quart casserole dishes, most 9 x 13-inch baking pans, and 8 and 9-inch pie pans. Check dishes/pan(s) for t before lling. Hint: Fit 3 (1-1/2-quart) pans into the pan to prepare meat, vegetables and potatoes at the same time.

• Metal pans are recommended as they provide better heat transfer and promote browning.

• Cover with a loose layer of aluminum foil if the dish/pan does not have a lid.

• Cook according to recipe instructions.

• Convenience foods can be baked in the Turkey Roaster. Steaming in the Turkey Roaster

• Preheat the Turkey Roaster to 177ºC/350ºF.

Congratulations! Your new Turkey Roaster will accomodate up to a 24 lb. turkey A Note About Turkeys... Achieving a brown, crispy skin over a moist bird, is oftentimes a problem when it comes to roasting poultry, especially turkey, in the Turkey Roaster. To assure a juicy, soft texture, we suggest brining the turkey yourself (simple recipe follows) or purchasing a pre-basted bird. To ensure a crisp skin, the turkey should then be air-dried in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours and then cooked at a high temperature. Finally, brush the skin with melted butter to promote overall browning. Brined & Air-Dried Roasted Turkey with Crisp, Browned Skin Serves 10–12 Brine:
