that sounds....disgusting

Yuj unwrapped our holiday turkey and set to work on it, carefully perusing the cooking directions.

"Grill...check the manufacturer's instructions. Nice... Conventional oven, about 3 1/2 hours, we're good with that.
...MICROWAVE? They recommend conventional oven, but if you want to use a microwave, consult the manufacturer's instructions."

Microwaved turkey?!?? WTF???

We're going with the 3 1/2 hours, thanks. (Though I have to say, the thought of a bacon-wrapped deep-fried turkey speaks to something primitive in my heart.)

Gobble well, but stay hungry, my friends!

.... That can't be sanitary.

And I know from experience that microwaves like bone as much as they like metal.

ETA: I'm also pretty sure that the number of microwaves that can fit a whole turkey in them is pretty small. -laughs-

I know, right? Our 'wave can barely handle a bag of popcorn sizewise.

Me and Rach have been debating it. XD She says that perhaps some of the commercial microwaves could be that big and the first site we poked at does have microwaves that go to 26" across. (Yes, we may be a bit bored. >.>)

But I say that if someplace has a microwave that big is probably going to invest in a convection oven first.

Her response was: "You're assuming every restaurant owner uses logic."

Heh, you get all sorts of fun links if you Google "how to cook turkey in microwave" - from "How NOT to cook turkey..." to an article on Gizmodo.com.

Gordon Ramsay would just shit. XD

I'd pay good money to see him go to a restaurant that does that on Kitchen Nightmares. XDD
