Can you use it to cook turkey bacon?

I have never cooked turkey bacon but I would suggest 1 min. per piece to start it will depend on how you like your bacon. Good luck!

I dont see why not. Remember it cooks much faster than the traditional microwave method, so i would keep an eye on it.

I have not tried it with Turkey Bacon. However, it should work fine with some adjustment to cook time for the more "lean" Turkey Bacon.For regular Bacon (6 slices), I start with 2 min 30 sec, check for doneness, add 30 sec increments as needed. This "adjusts" for differences in Microwaves and brand/style of Bacon (thick/thin, more/less fat, etc). Next time, I go for the total time from before less 30 sec, check for doneness and add 30 sec increments as needed.Something similar for Turkey Bacon would let you find an appropriate cook time for your Microwave and Bacon.

Let me just say that the primary reason I love it is how it collects the fat drippings. Since turkey bacon is very lean it does not have that problem. It might be better to let the turkey utilize the little fat it has in helping it cook. In my mind's eye I see your bacon drying out in places as it hangs. Give it a try and if it doesn't work for you just give it as a gift to a pig eating friend. . Just remember to open the carton carefully OK?

I've never used it for turkey. But, I don't see why not. Just be careful with cooking times. I usually go 1 min./ slice regular Bacon. I would go less w/turkey for less fat. Good luck!

I wouldn't bother to buy this! The construction was so cheap, we ended up just throwing it away. Save your money for a different product.

Yes my husband used it to chop celery for Thanksgiving. It worked like a charm...no issues!

As long as the "retainer brackets" adjust to your 30 quart pot then I believe you could use it to fry a turkey because the BTU's are plenty.

You will be able to cook a turkey............size is a factor. I cooked a 12 lb turkey and it worked great. You need to ensure that all parts are tied down, and I do mean tied down. Nothing can touch the heating element !

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 wouldn't consider it for bacon, but it could do a ham slice. There's entirely too much grease to contend with when frying bacon. We made the purchase to cook pancakes four at a time ... Perfect for pancakes, French toast and grilled cheeses!

Yes you can fry other things besides a turkey and the cooking time depends on what you are cooking... Google would be able to let you know how long to cook lets say fish or chicken

yes you can cook bacon in it once maybe twice at very low heat before the warping becomes too bad, it doesn't heat/cook evenly. After this disappointment I purchased the all- clad one, which is a much better product.

I don't know. You might want to contact the manuacturer. I only use it to roast turkey.

We haven't used it to fry a turkey yet but will be next Saturday, don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

Just my opinion. I would not attempt it. It says in the description "fry" but it lacks a temp shut off (at least my model does) that would prevent overheating the oil. The "fry" basket and pot are shallow, about 1/4 the size needed for a turkey. If you look at a decent turkey fryer, there seems to be more guarding around the burner and the hose to the propane tank appears longer. Nope, not me. Maybe shrimp, fish or fries, but not a turkey. Be safe. Please, buy a recent unit with updated safety features that is designed for frying a turkey. Good luck. BTW, this is a heck of a nice GRILL. Just my opinion. I would not attempt it.

Yes, I used my for my Thanksgiving turkey in the Oven. It worked quite well.

Yes it can. I actually use it to cook pork chops and steaks more than pizza. The meats sears so fast it is very juicy. Enjoy!

No. I've used this baster when cooking turkeys, bacon, meatloaf, and blueberry chicken and have had no problems.

It depends on what you are cooking. Very little is needed sometimes, none other times. When I make my breakfast sandwich, the little bit of oil produced by the turkey bacon is enough.

Technically, yes. You can use it as a steamer. I just don't know how long it would take to steam a turkey. The included steamer recipes were for shellfish, clams, and vegetables. Good luck.

Sure! You can use it for steaming, boiling or deep frying. We used it last night for steaming veggies, seafood, and sausage. My dad uses his to deep fry turkey.
