"Nice to find this chart. We always fix leg of lamb for Christmas and I am never too sure how long it needs to cook. I don't find much info on cooking lamb so some of the links on this page were also interesting."

Roasting a Turkey in an Electric Roaster

Comment: I can't decide if I want to use my roaster or cook my turkey in the oven. The roaster would be nice to save oven room but I really like a nice crispy browned skin on my turkey. I know I could brown it in the oven but that seems like it would be a hassle. Maybe something else could be cooked in the roaster. This is helpful information though.
