I usually use a oven cooking bag to cook my turkey, will this work inside the larger turkey size bag, I was using a flat item in pan bottom.

The question is why you'd want to use them together. A bag is designed to keep the fats and juices inside to basically steam the bird and keep it moist. A rack raises the bird above the fats so it is not soaking them in. It seems to me that if you put a bag on the rack you risk it tearing as it fills.

I think it would because, when I've cooked a turkey, the rack is definitely smaller than the bird.

I don't know. It's metal, so the edges might cut into the bag. I've never used an oven cooking bag, so don't know how strong they are. I really like this rack though. And might even try using a cooking bag myself to keep the splatters off the oven walls.

Yes, but you would need a pan to catch the drippings. It holds a 18# turkey with out a problem. Although it has a non stick surface, I have found that a slight mist of Pam makes the first clean up a bit easier. I have used mine to hold 6 full slabs of ribs, a couple of giant boston butts, large pork picnic and like I said an 18# turkey. All on my grill but I make an aluminum pan out of heavy duty foil but I smoke all of my meat on my Napoleon gas grill. I cooked my turkey in under 3 hours. Much easier than inside at thanksgiving when oven space is a premium. The nicest part is no matter how you use it. The two large handles make it easy to move around.

I am not sure if I could help you because I had never used this for a turkey too. However I think that a turkey not too large will fit.

I brined a 7lb turkey breast in my 8 qt container recently. But it wouldn't have held any more than that. A large turkey would take something more like a small plastic tub or tall bucket might work as long as it is food safe.

HI, first of all it would of course depend on the size of the bird . The inside of the oven measures (6.3" H, 12" W and 12.2" D and 12" W ) Maybe you could use a small bird, like an 8 pound turkey. You really MUST PLAN AHEAD when you are unsure about ovens, I wish you good luck with your culenery arts.12"

I don't baste my turkey. I do however inject it with butter before cooking. It is very moist when sliced right out of the oven. This works with chicken also.

I would not recommend it, better yet, you should not do it!!! In your oven, the heat from the element under the bottom has to radiate freely upward. The lining would "insulate" it and would probably be destroyed, being heated too much.

Yes, i used it for a thanksgiving turkey on the bar b que. Although it did warp a little and i would reccomend lining it with foil, for easy cleaning.

I have only used it with the probe in meat in the oven and the thermometer either on top of the stove top or the counter. It is a very handy thermometer. I especially like it to roast a turkey as you dont have to open the oven that much, only if needing to baste.

I would think so. It is heavy duty and large (although that is relative to the size of your turkey and the size of the bag!). I would make sure to put a pan underneath it and keep the zip-lock end at the top.

That would depend on the kind of roast and cut of meet. Even if the food extends past the length of the rack, it would be elevated in the pan. I guess you would have to determine the size of the pan you need to hold the meat or poultry.

The pan is only 3" deep but if you are using it for a turkey or a roast, that is plenty of room. If you are using it for some specialized product, well it just isn't 4" deep. I cook for one or two and turkeys and roasts; it works fine for me.

I only eat turkey bacon which works great in the pan but I do think the pan is deep enough for regular bacon.

I have had a 23 pound turkey in here. You need to loosely put foil over the turkey or it will turn black.I smiked the turkey for 5 hours then i finished in the oven at 350 to speed up the cook. Make sure to brine the turkey for 24 hours before cooking

It depends how big your oven is, but normally if you hang it from the upper rack (given you have room) so it will be more or less in the middle of it. Hope this helps you, good day!

Works to increase cooking height so you can cook a small turkey or large roasting chicken. Will fit your oven perfectly. I have the same oven and love it.

Yes, I've used it inside a half-sheet pan for cooking/baking in addition to being a standard cooling rack and it's worked just fine in all those capacities. Bake away!
