| | | | What is the best way to cook my Christmas turkey? | | | | A normal single oven or the main oven of a full size double oven will take a turkey of up to 32 lbs or 15 kg.
A compact single oven or the main oven of a built-under double oven will take a turkey of up to 16 lbs or 7 kg. Use CircoTherm (fan) setting with the bird on the cooking grid placed in the universal pan which has been placed on the base of the oven.
