  • @igglemain i know! i got a big black spot on there

  • @igglemain did you rinse it?

  • DO NOT add sugar to this brine recipe, or that 500 degrees for thrity minutes part, WILL cause the turkey to brown MUCH more than one would like. I found out the hard way.

  • In regards to Turkey time. Notice he has a very shallow pan and the entire turkey is above the pan. if your pan is deep and your rack keeps part of the turkey below the pan then it will take much longer to cook. Maybe 1-2 hours depening on thickness of the pan (the pan is reflecting the heat away)

    If you get a ton of smoke when you do the 500 degree roast then next time or this time you should pour 2.5 cups of water into the pan

  • Use this every year...works like a charm!

  • If your citing 4:30 from some chart and your using Alton's method you're

    going to be shocked....this will cook faster ....last 2 yrs my 19 1b turkey was

    done in approx 3 hrs!
