This item belongs to my Dad. He bought it a few years ago and he and I use it every thanksgiving and christmas. It turns out a tasty, juicy bird every time. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because of the cooking time. If it was as quick as a deep frier I would add a star. Just a few days ago we cooked a 19lb turkey. It was a tight fit in the basket, but it got the job done. It took 13.5 minutes per lb to reach 165, which calculates to 4 hours and 15 minutes roughly.
