I have a 18 quart Nesco and a smaller (9 quart?) Rival. I roasted the
Thanksgiving turkey in the 18, and it was done over an hour early --
even though it was stuffed. I turned the roaster down to about 175 and
held the turkey until we were ready for it. It was juicy and delicious
even though it was overcooked because it snuck up on me.

Everything was browned nicely except the breast. I browned that with a
heat gun.

Best regards,
Bob
