Can I cook a 12 pound turkey in this oven?

Probably not. It is very good size, but I don't think you'd be happy with the results as if it fits, it would barely fit. Large roasts, ducks, chickens are a good fit.

It would be a tight squeeze. I would go up a size if you need to cool a bird over 10 lbs

I have a 6 quart. A 12 lb. turkey is too big I would suggest a 20 qt roaster.

You can...but you might have to cover him with foil to start out with. Until he softens up a little and you can get the lid on, depending on how big his breast is. I've used foil dozens of time and it works just fine!

Since I roasted an almost 4 lb chicken with vegetables in my 110, I would think you could; would like to try this myself with a turkey breast.

The 117 is large enough to roast a 16 pound turkey, so the answer is yes but probably an overkill if you will only be roasting 1 chicken. For single chickens I'd recommend the 111 Romertopf, it's smaller and easier to handle. I have both of them and love them.The best chicken and turkey I've ever had.

Haven't tried on turkey. It should work depending on size of bird. You would need more headspace in oven and the butt of turkey would have to be tight enough for the can to insert and hold. The legs may have to be splayed on an additional base tray...

Yes you can...it's a good sized grill...cooks really good. I'd say about around 15-20lbs.

I haven't taken it out of the box yet but did read it would cook a 12 lb turkey.

I have not used this before. Since it says 10-12 lb. turkey, use half the brine and halve the recipe, you could do that, or use 3/4 or all if you prefer. I don't think it would be too strong. I usually do 20 lb. turkeys, use all the brine mix I buy and have not found that seasoning becomes too strong. I would imagine the amount of time you brine has more impact than amount of brine used.

I used mine in a Dutch Oven, just to keep the meat off the bottom of the Dutch Oven when I'm roasting a Turkey breast, & it worked great.

We bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law and she has not cooked a turkey in it yet. However she did look at the recipe guide that came with the roaster and it does indicate that the amount of cooking minutes per pound is the same as a regular oven. I hope this helps!

The turkey comes out with a crispy skin and the meat is moist. I takes from 3 to 3.5 min per pound to cook, so about an hour for an 18 pound bird at 375 degrees. Be sure to use a good quality frying oil. We did a 16 pound turkey and it was fantastic.

If your roaster is marked 0508-6 15 inch then it is the same one and it does not hold a 12lb. turkey. It holds only up to a 10 lb. whatever the description says.

You will be able to cook a turkey............size is a factor. I cooked a 12 lb turkey and it worked great. You need to ensure that all parts are tied down, and I do mean tied down. Nothing can touch the heating element !

Yes. You just put the probe in the turkey, and make sure the wire leading to it exits the fryer. (The wire is inserted into a plastic transmitter.) As long as that transmitter is not in the heat, you're good to go. The probe wire is about 18 inches long so there's plenty of room. I used it in the oven, with the wire extending out the door and the transmitter dangling outside my oven. It worked fine.

I cooked an approximately 5 pound chicken in mine last night! Worked great! Highly recommend this Dutch Oven!

Yes there is! I cooked a 18lbs turkey and a big ham at the same time for thanksgiving.

Yes, I have browned chicken on the cooktop and then put it in a 350 oven to finish. Not sure if I would use a temp higher than 400, but general roasting is fine.

Yes. It is an oven. I bought it to cook turkeys in at Thanksgiving. It is basically a portable, extra oven. I really like it. The only down side is you have to have space to store it when not in use.
