Cave Tools Roasting and Grill Rack, Stainless Steel BBQ Accessories for Smoker, Grill or Oven, Dishwasher Safe - Poultry, Chicken and Turkey Lifter Wire Rack

I love turkey- as a professional chef and cook for 15+ years, I enjoy roasting, smoking, braising and eating turkey. As a test, I took a butterball brand turkey, thawed it, and cooked it on the rack. They're already injected with a solution including turkey broth and sodium so I didn't do anything to the turkey aside from quarter an onion and lemon, and cut a head of garlic in half and stuff the cavity with that. No salting. No brining. No pepper or seasoning rub. I just wanted to see the end result. I didn't baste my turkey during cooking. It came out fantastic. The skin was crispy and golden. The meat was very moist. The amount of juices that drip down into the breast and cavity while cooking is impressive, and needed to be drained out after cooking so I could flip it breast side up and let the juices redistribute while resting. Elevated, allowing room for vegetables or aromatics below the bird without direct contact, requiring zero trussing, and doesn't need any intensive prep work- this will be the only way I ever roast a turkey from now on. HOWEVER. The rack does actually add a significant heat to the overall roasting pan, so be careful if you have a barrel style or smaller size smoker. I have a Pit Boss Austin XL pellet smoker, and with the upper rack removed I could just barely close the lid with a 14lb bird and this rack set directly on the grates. Still very worth it though.

Too soon to say...I won't use it till Thanksgiving...sorry

This is the most amazing turkey/chicken rack ever!!! The turkey in the picture is a 20 pounder and I had no problem with it being too big or making a mess. It fit perfectly and creates the best, moistest turkey with no basting or bother. I went online to order one as a gift and was so bummed to see that I cannot get them. Hopefully they will be back as I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Product works great in the oven but the way the bird stands in the frame to self baste is pretty tall and needs a larger space to be used. Wouldnt ever be a problem in the oven but your pellet smoker and this frame most likely wont get along just for the record.

So much crunch and juiceBest chicken I’ve hadAnd the fat was in the bottom of the pan
