In this roaster I am not sure what he did i can tell you though i was thrilled that the bones pulled out clean.

For my oven roasted turkeys, I like em stuffed, I stuff the bird with a cranberry stuffing, under the skin of the bird i add a ton of butter and spread it out, I then add bacon strips across the breasts. I baste my turkey every 30 mins, when i cook thanksgiving i don't seem to have time to sit down. I have always foil tented my birds as well and i have never used a pop up timer in mine...and lastly I have always gotten a butterball or the Safeway equivalent to a butterball.

One year I took the day before thanksgiving day off and had a thanksgiving for about 40 women in my community that had no where to go, we held it at the center I did a bird and a ham that year. All the women that came brought a dish to share. I have done this more than once and it is always an amazing experience.

oven roasted seemed to just be the key thing for me...until last year

and now i want an 18qt roaster lol

This roaster eliminates the need for the kind of basting i do, I think i saw him baste it like once an hour or something if that.
