how large of a turkey can be cooked?

I've never seen one too big. If you want to cover it with the pan lid instead of tenting with foil, that depends on the height of the bird. Probably 16-18 lbs. It's a terrifically durable pan too.

It is large enough to cook a large turkey and a ham at the same time. It has racks galore. The interior cooking area is 15" wide by 20" long with a 12" depth. I am very happy with mine and use it all the time.

I've cooked roasts in my old one (same size) with no problem. The turkey breast should be fine. I find that I like roasts cooked in the Nesco better than the oven, especially when I cook them on low heat. Turkey should be very good in the Nesco as juices are retained. Enjoy!

I'm assuming you mean a 7.5lb turkey breast. I would say yes, but it will need to cook on high for 12 hours.

I've read that people have cooked a 16lb Turkey on it. https://store.weber.com/accessories/category/cook/cookware/1100

I have never cooked a turkey in this but assume the direction that came with the rotisserie is sufficient enough for the turkey to turn out perfectly. I have never had anything I have cooked in it fail. It is all good. However, it would need to be a small turkey not over ten lbs. Carolyn Durr

I have used this pan to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving for the last 3 years. Each year, I've cooked a large bird in it but this year was the biggest at 21lbs. It fit just fine; there was a about a finger thick space between the handle and the bird once it was in the pan and while cooking, the drippings all remained in the pan.

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 !

I have cook several turkeys in these type of showtime rotisseries. ranging from 13 to 20 pounds. Cooking time will vary depending on size and whether it is stuffed (light or dence packed) or non-stuffed. Best result I found was to use the flavor injector into the breast meat. But, When cooking a turkey, remember to tie the turkey tightly and center the turkey on the spits for proper balance to insure that the turkey doesn't hit the heat elements.

Funny you should ask, I just cooked an 4.6LBS turkey breast yesterday. The 6-Qt was a good size for this. It came out great but I did spend a short time braising the breast to add a little color and crispness to the skin.

By capacity I think you mean what can I cook. This was a gift to my son and he has fixed a 12 pound turkey in his. He wants to do some seafood when the weather gets better and layer it with lobster, corn, clams, etc. The item itself is 32 quarts.

The description says 25 lb turkey or roast. I personally don't know because I have a small family and don't get large turkeys.

I have never cooked a 12lb turkey in mine but it states that you can. That's only because I never buy anything less than a 20lb. Just remember to keep the food at least 4 inches below the top.

I roasted a 24 lb. turkey breast with stuffing under the turkey skin last Thanksgiving and it just barely fit. This year I plan on roasting no more than a 20 lb. turkey breast. Although I believe that a 24 lb. turkey will just fit, I would probably go with no more than 22 lbs. Hope this helps. I absolutely love this roasting pan and have bought 5 over than last two years, one for myself and one for each of my 4 children who also love it. It's very easy to clean and does an excellent job of roasting. My husband uses it often for his sausage calabrase. Hope this helps.

I smoked a medium sized turkey by splitting it along the backbone and laying it flat. Worked great.

I've cooked whole chickens, beef and pork roasts in the pressure cooker all weighing over 3 lbs. Just make sure it doesn't fill the pan more than 2/3 full to allow it to steam. I recently cooked a turkey breast weighing over 5 lbs., however I did have to remove the backbone before I could fit it in the pressure cooker. Since I slow cooked the turkey breast instead of pressure cooking it, I didn't have to worry about how full it was. I came out juicy and tender. Soo good!
