Ideally, the water table should be at least about 24â³ below the bottom of the newly underpinned wall, since soil bearing capacities must be reduced when the new bottom of underpinning level is close to the water table level.
An 18 pound unstuffed turkey should cook for 2 to 2.5 hours. Keep in mind, a turkey cooked in an electric roaster may not brown as well as one cooked in the traditional open pan oven method, so we suggest using a browning sauce (mixture of butter, Kitchen Bouquet, and paprika) for a nice, golden brown turkey.

Roasting a chicken does not take quite so long as roasting a turkey, however a large chicken could still take over 2 hours to roast. As a general rule, calculate a cooking time of 20 minutes per pound of meat plus an additional 10 - 20 minutes at a temperature of 375ÂºF (190ÂºC). Therefore, a 5 lb chicken will need to be roasting in the oven for at least 1h 50 mins. A 5 lb bird will serve between 4 - 5 people. Some people prefer to set the oven temperature to 450ÂºF (230ÂºC) and roast the bird at this high temperature for the first 10 - 15 minutes or the last 10 - 15 minutes. The rest of the time the chicken should be roasted at 375ÂºF (190ÂºC).
