SUGGESTIONS & TIPS
Cook until juices run clear when
tested in the thickest part;
double check doneness with a
meat thermometer. Poultry should
reach 180°F/83°C, in thickest part.
Season with salt and pepper
prior to cooking if desired.
Alternate pieces of chicken with
assorted vegetables. Brush with
olive oil or your favorite sauce.
Alternate shapes of pieces up or
down on skewers so pieces will
all fit when skewers are
positioned in place. Season with
salt and pepper or favorite herbs.
Tie wings with string to prevent
them from touching heating
elements and burning. Periodically
baste with melted butter or
margarine, if desired, to keep
turkey moist.
SUGGESTIONS & TIPS
If center element is not used,
cooking times will be longer by
2 to 3 min. per pound.
Unevenly shaped roasts may cook
unevenly. For more even cooking,
place the larger end up.If center
element is not used, cooking times
will be longer by 6-7 min. per
per pound.
Marinate for additional flavor and
tenderness. Thread skewers through
meat about 2 1 ⁄ inches (6 cm)
2
apart. Then position skewers in
appropriate holes in Tower.
Alternate pieces of meat with
squares of onion, green pepper,
zucchini or mushrooms. Brush with
olive oil or your favorite sauce.
