what temp should I set it for a 10 lb turkey and how many minutes is ideal.... do I wait til the oil is at the "ready" temp before installing the turkey and starting the rotisserie?

The temps for turkey and cooking times are in the booklet sent with the fryer. I did a 12 pound turkey and it took about 90 minutes.

Heat to 350 degrees.Wait for light to turn green.3 to 3 1/2 minutes per pound.When the turkey breast reads 155° to 160° it is done.Let it rest 15 minutes before carving.

Mine is on Fahrenheit not Celsius (maybe you have a different one andwe use it for frying putting it into the oil (not hitting the pan )when the temp hits 350 put the food in to fry ! Hope this helps

Make sure you soak WELL, 30min., the top & bottom first. DO NOT PREHEAT the OVEN!! Spray the inside with nonstick cooking spray. Because your turkey will stick to the sides. A 9lb turkey at 250 degree F should take 4.5hrs. For slow cooking at that temp, I allow 30min/lb. Then I remove the cover for the last 15-20 min. and baste with herbed butter. Your turkey will be INCREDIBLY JUICY & MOIST, yet browned beautifully on top!!! I always fix a 12-14 lb. turkey, & this time table works GREAT. If your turkey is stuffed calculate 40min/lb. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

You will need to improvise a hanger for the turkey,aluminum or stainless steel wire.an a pair of gloves to keep from getting burnt. Best turkey you will ever taste. Go for it. Peanut oil an 6.5 minutes for every pound of turkey. Make sure oil is boiling before you slowly let turkey into oil.

Yes I just oiled it and heat it on high for at least 5 minutes before putting it to the temp I want. Parts of it seem to cook differently sometimes though. I believe a booklet with instructions came with. It is helpful.

don't know, I never cook whole turkeys, but an 8-9 lb breast comes out moist and delicious. I Use Royal hardwood oak charcoal, from Walmart, not brickets, and not lighter fluids. I use a remote temp probe and have never had a bad turkey yet!! I keep temp of smoker between 250 and 300 degrees

The amount of oil will depend on the size of the turkey. Usually 3-4 gallons of oil.

I have cooked pork, beef and venison roasts. I do inject them and cook on a slower temp instead of all the way with turkey. Best to not cook over a 13lb turkey just like you would do for frying in oil. Turkey comes out juicy and perfect. Takes about 2.5 hrs for a turkey. Always use a thermometer.

The recovery time is pretty good, I have done multiple chicken tenders or wings and the oil reheats quickly. I have not checked the temps with a thermometer but cooking times are true leading me to believe it has to be pretty close! Hope that helps.

Hi, Emil: I would use the basket attachment to secure the pork chops after you've seasoned them with your favorite seasoning. I'd choose a thicker chop rather than a thin cut, because the Cuisinart takes less time to cook than other rotisseries I have used in the past and you want to avoid a dried out chop. I make a whole 7.5 lb chicken in my Cuisinart and it's usually done in about 1 hour and 30 minutes on 400 degrees. You'd need MUCH less time for a pork chop or two and probably a lower cooking temperature. You'll have to experiment once or twice to get the doneness that you prefer. Good luck!

There are Two good places to get this info. Go to "Lets Talk Bar B Que" forum and ask Tommy (TMB). Or look at Facebook "Charbroil TBE cooking forum" . (Its not the Char Broil site). I have cooked four turkeys on mine. They did great but its been a while. I use it a lot but not for turkeys. Be sure to brine and or inject the bird. Then give it 3-24 hours in the fridge to absorb the brine. The LTBBQ site listed above will give you lots of outdoor cooking help with a group of really good people. And remember, The internal temp is whats important. Not the amount of time. Time will vary for many reasons.... There are Two good places to get this info.

I bought a 35 lb. box of Peanut Oil at Costco and it was enough to cook a 16 lb. turkey. The easiest way to measure where you want the oil level is to put the un-packaged turkey in the pot and add water to just over the top of the turkey. Remove the turkey and mark the side of the pot where the water level is. (I just scratched the inside of the pot with my pocket knife.) This will tell you how much oil you'll need to add.

After seasoning the turkey and stuffing only the neck end, slide the bird onto the saddle of the DunRite. Place the DunRite onto a large baking tray and put it in the oven or grill at 350-375 degrees. Cooking time is reduced to 13 minutes per pound which shortens the cooking time by a third. All the juices flow into the breast and legs - even the left overs stay moist for a week or more. There are still enough drippings to make a great gravy or sauce for the meal. No basting required.

I cooked 4 medium sized turkeys on two racks for thanksgiving so it should do the trick; also managed to smoke three racks of ribs on each rack for a total of 144 ribs. I recommend that you buy a replacement thermometer that's more accurate and also ordering a digital thermometer with wireless monitor do you can watch the meat temperature (I monitor meat temperature on top rack and on one in bottom rack) internal temperature is ok if you replace the thermometer on the smoker

Hi Judi! The largest bird i roasted I think it was about 8 lbs and it fitted very comfortably in the rotisserie. If the bird it's more in with then it is in lenght I believe a 10 lbs will be just fine! It's a great "kitchen toy"! :-) cooks just the way we like it! thank you for your question. And Merry Christmas!

We used the meat thermometer that came with the unit. To reach the 165 degree temperature it took about 3 hrs. (We cooked it in a heated garage that was about 60 degrees. The outside temperature here this past Thanksgiving day was about 30 degrees. And we didn't want to allow additional cooking time for the cold day.) You'll love the way it turns out--this year we cooked a wild turkey--it was wonderful. We have kids that bring turkey and an ice chest when they come to visit. They want to have some for when they go home.

Hi Emily, I purchased my Showtime Rotisserie several years ago... With that said, the only thing you might need is cooking twine to tie the turkey. They provide elastic ties, but I've always used cooking twine as I can get that tighter. Also be sure not to go over the weight limit as the turkey cause the spit to fall if it is too heavy. Hope that info helps.
