Directions for Cooking Poultry by Combination
Wash poultry and pat dry. Season poultry as desired.
Whole poultry may be roasted stuffed or unstuffed.
Whole Roasting Chickens (1.0 kg to 2.8 kg): Place
chicken on Low Rack, with a dish set underneath, to
catch drips. Shield drumsticks with a strip of foil for
the first 30 minutes of cooking. (Foil should not touch
rack or oven walls, as arcing may occur.)
Whole Duck (1.5 kg to 2.5 kg): Pierce skin at 2 cm
intervals with a fork to allow fat to drain from duck.
Place duck on Low Rack, with a dish set underneath,
to catch drips. Drain juices from dish once during
cooking.
Whole Turkey (2 kg to 4 kg): Place turkey on Low
Rack, with a dish set underneath, to catch drips.
Halfway through cooking, shield tops of drumsticks
with a strip of foil. (Foil should not touch oven walls,
as arcing may occur.) Drain juice from dish once
during cooking.

inserted in both thigh joints. If thermometer touches
