Cooking Modes 25
PERFECT TURKEY
This mode uses the temperature probe to control precisely the cooking of a perfect turkey. The convection system gently browns the turkey’s exterior and seals in the juices. The temperature probe is required with this cooking mode (read its section on next page for more details). The oven can be programmed for Perfect Turkey at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 325°F. The probe default temperature for the perfect turkey feature is 180°F.
Perfect Turkey Tips:
•Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator at least 24 hours per 5 lbs before cooking the bird.
•Do not preheat your oven before using the Perfect Turkey mode.
•Use the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack will hold the turkey.
•Place an oven rack on rack position 2
•Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside.
