cooking basket. Opening the legs
will allow the turkey to cook
evenly and maintain its position
inside the basket. Always set the
turkey inside the basket with the
breast up and the legs down so
that it can cook evenly.
5) Can I cook a turkey with
stuffing inside?
The USDA recommends cooking
stuffing separately for optimal safety and uniform
doneness. Visit www.isitdoneyet.gov for more
information on cooking turkey safely.
6) Can I use injectable marinades?
Absolutely. But if you are really into making it easy,
simply use a dry rub on the outside. One of our
favorites to use is a Creole seasoning with salt, red
pepper, garlic and other spices found readily at any
grocery store. Try to avoid rubs with high sugar
content if you are roasting with the temperature setting
on HIGH. When preparing fried turkey or rotisserie
chicken, you can rub the skin with peanut or canola oil
before using a dry rub if desired. The TRU-Infrared
heat will keep your food moist and juicy on the inside.
7) How long will it take to cook?
With The Big Easy
®
, food is done once it reaches proper
internal temperature. Always use a food thermometer
to check doneness and remember these USDA
guidelines for proper use:
1) Insert the probe into the thickest part of the food -
not touching bone, fat or gristle before lowering into
the cook chamber.
