Roasted Turkey
A 10-12 lb. (4.5-5.4 kgs.) turkey is recommended. However, you can roast up to an 18 lb. (8.16 kgs.) turkey in this
appliance. DO NOT EXCEED 18 lbs. (8.16 kgs.).
Frozen turkeys should be thoroughly defrosted 35°- 40°F (1.6°- 4.4°C). The turkey may be rinsed on the outside and
in the cavities with warm water to remove any possibility of remaining ice crystals and then dried thoroughly with
paper towels before roasting.
THAWING TURKEY
Allow approximately 24 hours for every 4lbs. (1.8 kgs.) of turkey thawed in the refrigerator.
