Review on πŸ— Deluxe Stainless Steel Vertical Meat Poultry Chicken Turkey Roaster by Norpro - Model 266 by Digna Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than the beer can method

Product: Norpro Stainless Steel Vertical Poultry Roaster Rating: 5/5 (Excellent) Cooking is in my blood and as any avid gourmet or professional chef will attest, it's worthy of its chops The ability to cook with Doing great things for a humble supermarket chicken is often a sure sign of superiority. The vertical, open-cavity roasting method provides incredibly crispy skin on all sides of the poultry, shorter cooking times, and because the thighs hang freely, the inside of the thighs cooks at the same rate as the breast, resulting in a more evenly cooked poultry than the classic method, the "horizontal fried Poisson with French farms" taught in most cooking schools. The Norpro Roasting Pan delivers the same results as a grill without the need for you to own a grill. Ovens, dome grills and smokers.* Perfect dimensions, both in height and width.* Ability to deglaze right on the stove!* Inexpensive ($12). I have a few and have tried just about every way to cook chicken. For example, I made beer can chicken 15 years ago, long before it became popular. At the time it was a nice evolution in chicken cooking and gives great results, but the main issues with it are stability (risk of tipping), pulling the bird out of the jar without spilling anything, and the inability to prepare sauce for the pan. . norpro solves these problems. One of norpro's best features is the perfectly sized tray. As a former canned chicken lover, I really appreciate having a pan that is the right size and not too wide or too narrow. And this is why: if the pan is too wide, it dries out when frying, and when hot fat accumulates, it heats up to the same temperature as in the oven, and when the juice from the bird slowly drips into the hot oil , it sizzles and splashes in all directions. causing confusion and a fire hazard. If the tray is too narrow, the juice cannot get into the tray and create a mess, and/or the lack of sufficient evaporating surface area can allow the juice to spill over the tray, causing a mess. The Norpro pallet size is ideal for preventing both problems. it's narrow enough that it doesn't dry out completely, and not so narrow that accumulated juices overflow or leak at all. Highly recommended. I recommend buying at least two. ----------------------------------TIPS:* IDEAL CHICKEN SIZE: While norpro does it's around a 2.5kg When processing heavy chicken, the ideal roast size is 3-3. 5. Pounds If you need more, take my word for it and buy two perfectly sized chickens, not one twice your size. the results will be tastier and cook much faster.* PERFECT SKIN: After rinsing the bird inside and out, dry completely, place the bird on the Norpro with the wingtips hanging back over the shoulders and legs showing the hang freely on both sides. one of the teeth. If the poultry is very cold, allow it to air dry at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes (this also helps remove excess cold from the meat, resulting in faster and more even cooking), then pat dry . Drizzle with vegetable oil on all sides, then sprinkle with medium kosher salt and ground dried rosemary. DO NOT put any liquid in the drip tray - the bird will secrete its own juices which will boil and caramelize as it roasts. Roast at 425F for about 70-75 minutes (longer for birds over 3.5 pounds) or until the skin is golden brown on all sides and the juice is clear (your target temp after a 5 minute rest is 175F on the inner thigh) . ). If the bird doesn't slide off easily, use poultry shears to cut it in half and let the roasted bird sit for 5-10 minutes while you deglaze the pan(s) with some broth. the juice can then be used for other purposes or made into a small amount of gravy.* Leftovers: I only cook 1 bird for 2 in most cases (if you cook 2 birds in the same oven the roasting time is 10-15 minutes). . We typically eat the legs, wings, back, and skin, then save the breasts for a classic chicken salad. All the bones, offal, skin scraps and juices are frozen in a ziplock bag and when we have enough bones and juices I toss them in a slow cooker overnight with water and Mirapua and turn them into broth (or glace) and then freeze them . It's hard to beat the amazing chicken at 89 cents a pound plus homemade broth.
