I love my Westinghouse roaster and have just picked up a second unit (in YELLOW!)
Anyway, the unit came with the instruction manual. You know that classic roaster manual. Well, on page 20 of the instruction manual, the (presumed late) Edna inked in her own method as to how to roast a turkey in the Westinghouse roaster. Quote: "Preheat to 325 degrees. When turkey begins to cook turn down to 225 degrees and cook all night. Turn off when done. Reheat for dinner." OK, Westinghouse roaster experts - and there are a lot of you out there.... What do you think of Edna's method? |

I would definitely use an instant read meat thermometer in the turkey before serving to make sure it really reaches the "done" temp internally. |

I think Edna wants to give you food poisoning.
That is not a safe cooking method for turkey. DO NOT USE IT. The meat will remain in the danger zone (40-140 degrees) far too long. Instructions such as "when turkey begins to cook, turn down to 225" are far too vague. There are more-and more resistant-strains of bacteria on/in poultry now than back in the day. |

Yes, I'm referring to using a probe. The ovens micro controller adjusts the heat and convection fan as needed. Got to say I'm totally impressed with the quality of the finished turkey. Actually turned a few other people on to the oven and they bought one too. |

Who actually take meat or poultry out of the package and cook it...I ALWAYS wash all meat and poultry before cooking! |

We no longer have a stuffed turkey at Thanksgiving or Christmas but when I was a boy we always did. My mother always stuffed the bird the night before and put it in the fridge till it got put in the oven the next morning. She did this for years and none of us ever experienced any ill effects as a result. After hearing this was a no-no she waited to stuff the bird in the morning.
P.S. Last Christmas we did the turkey breast down and it did seem to make a difference in the moistness of the white meat. |
