Cooking the Perfect Turkey in a Convection Oven

by Kathy Miller|Last Modified: November 6, 2023|Why Trust Us ?

For years, I ruined turkey after turkey, impatiently pulling each one out based on recipes designed for standard ovens. The circulating air of a convection oven cooks poultry so much faster! But with trial and error, I’ve mastered perfectly roasting birds in a fraction of the usual time.

Let me walk you through exactly how to leverage your convection oven’s rapid, even heating for foolproof holiday turkeys. I’ll also share some mishaps from my own learning journey to roast with confidence.

The Secret to Speedy, Juicy Convection Birds

Convection ovens blast food with hot air circulating all around. This lets heat penetrate deeper and cook turkey far quicker than traditional ovens. You’ll get:

25-40% faster cook times for more even browning
Less basting needed to crisp the skin
Excellent moisture retention for tender meat

But beware – convection can rapidly overcook poultry if you don’t make a few simple adjustments:

Lower the oven temperature by 25-50°F. This prevents drying while still cooking faster.

Start checking 10-15 minutes before the minimum recommended roasting time. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Watch for any over-browning, tenting foil if needed. I often do this on the legs and wings.

Let the turkey rest 20 minutes before carving so juices redistribute.

Brush on glazes in the last 30-60 minutes only. Too early prevents crisping the skin.

Follow my timeline below to take the guesswork out of convection turkey success.

My Journey From Burnt Birds to Golden Perfection

I’ll never forget my first convection Thanksgiving. I proudly prepped the turkey exactly as I always had – generously rubbing the skin with butter and herbs before the standard recommended oven time.

I was horrified when, right on schedule, I pulled out a burnt, dried-out disaster!

Clearly I needed to modify my approach for convection cooking. Over years of trial and error, I determined the ideal adjustments to achieve tender, juicy meat and beautifully crisped skin.

While my first convection turkey experience was traumatic, I gained priceless experience in adapting recipes. Now my family raves about how moist and delicious my holiday birds turn out.

Have patience as you find ideal times for your oven model. The perfectly cooked, faster holiday meals are so worth the learning process!

Your Convection Turkey Roasting Roadmap

Follow my timeline below for convection success:

Prep your turkey as usual, rubbing the skin with butter/herbs.
Set oven 25-50°F lower than the recipe states.
Place turkey breast-up on the lowest rack, avoiding two racks.
Roast 10-15 minutes less than the minimum recommended time.
Check often with a meat thermometer after this, tenting foil if any portion browns too quickly.
Once the breast is 165°F and thighs 175°F, remove turkey.
Let rest 20 minutes before carving for juicy results.
DIG IN and impress everyone with your convection mastery!

Convection Turkey Roasting FAQs

What is the main difference between convection and conventional?

A convection oven has a fan that circulates heat around the entire oven cavity, sometime using more than one heating element. A regular oven has a single heating element and the heat only flows in one direction, from the bottom up. Convection is cooking from the outside to the inside evenly. In a convection oven you have 3 racks. You could bake cookies on all three racks and the cookies will cook evenly. If you did this in a conventional oven, the bottom cookies would burn and the top wouldn’t cook all the way.

What are the benefits of using a convection oven?

When baking or roasting with convection you typically reduce your time and temperature by 25%. You also get better cooking results. When baking a pie for example, if it often difficult to achieve that golden browning on top without overcooking the pie. With convection the even heat that circulates make this easy to achieve in less time. You can also cook multiple items in one cooking session without mixing food flavors. This makes serving everything hot at once a breeze.

What temperature do I use and for how long?

Depending on this size of your turkey and if you plan to stuff it, below is a cooking chart:

12-15 pounds, 1.5-2 hours
15-20 pounds, 2-2.5 hours
20-25 pounds, 2.5-3 hours
In a conventional oven you typically cook the turkey for 20 minutes per pound.

Make sure your bird has reached 165 degrees F. If your turkey is stuffed make sure the stuffing has also reached 165 degrees F.

There is no need to cover your turkey with foil. Since the convection fan is evenly cooking, the bird will brown evenly. Make sure you baste the turkey every 20-30 minutes.

Please come see us if you have more questions about convection ovens.

The Rewards of Faster, Juicier Holiday Birds

With a couple practice turkey roasts, you’ll nail the ideal time and temp for your convection oven model. Enjoy impressing your guests with perfectly cooked, moist turkey in record time! Here’s to the joys of faster holiday meals thanks to your convection oven.

P.S. Check out my induction holiday cooking tips to round out your convection turkey with an entire meal prepped using this modern cooking technology. The combo of convection and induction will make you a holiday cooking pro!

Cooking with JennAir Appliances: Discover Your Cooking Appliance Options

by Kathy Miller|Last Modified: June 19, 2023|Why Trust Us ?

I’m an avid home cook and happen to work as a customer consultant at Masters Wholesale. I get to explore a lot of cooking appliances and have come across some great ones that I’m excited to share with you today. Specifically, the JennAir brand has caught my eye with their impressive line-up of appliances on display in our Sacramento showroom.

Each of us has a unique approach to cooking, and your choice of appliances should reflect your personal style. Whether you’re planning a complete kitchen renovation or a minor upgrade, interacting with the appliances in person can greatly assist in aligning your decisions with your aspirations and budget.

It’s time to turn those culinary dreams into reality, so why not start at Masters Wholesale? Join me for an informative look at what these offerings have in store and how they can help bring your kitchen dreams to life.

Ovens

Let’s dive into the world of ovens and take a closer look at JennAir – their ovens have gained popularity for their ability to heat evenly combined with innovative features. Some models come with the V2 Vertical Dual-Fan Convection System ensuring an even temperature throughout allowing perfect baking results every time.

Furthermore, JennAir’s ovens often come with smart capabilities, allowing you to control and monitor the oven remotely through an app on your smartphone. As for costs, JennAir ovens range from around $2,500 to over $7,000, depending on the model and features.

Ranges

are a winning combination of an oven and cooktop that enthusiasts can’t get enough of. The Noir and Rise collections specifically have garnered popularity for their high-BTU burners, providing not only substantial heat but also precision. Additionally, the spacious chrome-infused griddles allow for larger surface area cooking resulting in evenly cooked foods.

I recently came across JennAir ranges and their elegant design caught my eyes. These ranges are perfect for those who want to add a touch of sophistication to their kitchen. The cost, on the other hand, can be quite steep for some starting at around $5,000 and going up to over $10,000 for high-end models with advanced features.

Cooktops & Rangetops

If you’re looking for a separate cooking surface, exploring different cooktop and rangetop options might be worth considering. I personally recommend JennAir as their cooktops come in various sleek configurations including gas, electric, and induction. Notably, their induction cooktops are highly efficient and precise which makes them an excellent choice.

When it comes to kitchen cooktops, there are two options: rangetops and cooktops. While both share similarities in their function, rangetops offer more power with specialized features like built-in grills. The price difference is significant as well, with prices for cooktops ranging from $1,500 to $3,000 while rangetops start around $3,000 and can go up based on the features.

Wall Ovens

When it comes to kitchen designs, some people prioritize the flexibility of having a wall oven. JennAir’s flush-to-cabinet design is perfect for those with custom designs in mind or simply looking to save space and update their kitchen’s aesthetic. Enjoy modern practicality without sacrificing on style.

I have found that JennAir’s wall ovens boast MultiMode Convection Systems and speed ovens to provide faster cooking. These models are comparable in price to standalone ovens, typically starting around $2,500 and increasing based on the included features and configuration.

Microwaves

Let me tell you about microwaves from JennAir. They offer a variety of options including both countertop and built-in microwaves, which come with features like sensor cooking that adjusts the cooking time based on food’s moisture levels. This makes the whole process effortless and hassle-free.

I find JennAir microwaves to have a fascinating trait – their seamless integration which becomes more pronounced when combined with wall ovens. As for pricing, these microwaves can range from $700 to well over $2,000 specifically built-in models equipped with convection features.

Shop JennAir Appliances in Sacramento or Online

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the various Miele range models and what sets them apart from each other.

Miele Freestanding Ranges

Miele’s freestanding ranges are the perfect option if you’re looking for a standalone appliance that can be placed anywhere in the kitchen. These ranges are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, with sleek designs that can complement any kitchen decor. The freestanding ranges are available in electric, dual fuel, and induction models, making them versatile enough to cater to different cooking needs.

The electric models are equipped with state-of-the-art technology that distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, ensuring that your food is cooked to perfection. The dual fuel models, on the other hand, combine the precision of gas cooking with the even heat distribution of electric cooking. This makes them perfect for individuals who enjoy both baking and cooking. The induction models use electromagnetic energy to heat the cookware directly, making them the fastest and most energy-efficient option. They are also safe to use, as the cooking surface remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns.

Whether you’re cooking for a large family or entertaining guests, Miele’s freestanding ranges are designed to accommodate various cooking and baking needs. They come with a range of features, including different cooking programs and modes, allowing for the utmost precision and versatility.

Miele Built-in Ranges

Miele’s built-in ranges are the ideal option for those who prefer a more streamlined look in their kitchens. These ranges are built into the cabinetry and blend seamlessly with the rest of the kitchen, creating a cohesive and stylish look. The built-in ranges are available in electric, dual fuel, and induction models, making them versatile enough to cater to different cooking needs.

One of the advantages of the built-in ranges is that they save space, making them perfect for smaller kitchens. They also provide a more customized look, as they can be installed at the perfect height for the user. Like the freestanding ranges, the built-in ranges come with various cooking programs and modes, allowing for the utmost precision and versatility.

Miele Induction Ranges

Miele’s range of induction ranges is designed to offer you the ultimate cooking experience. Induction cooking is known for its precision and speed, and Miele’s induction ranges take it a notch higher. With Miele induction ranges, you can cook your food to perfection within a short time, thanks to the precise temperature control and fast heating capabilities.

Additionally, Miele induction ranges consume less energy compared to traditional cooking methods, making them environmentally friendly. They are also safe to use, as the cooking surface remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns. Miele induction ranges are available in both freestanding and built-in models, making them suitable for different kitchen layouts and preferences.

In conclusion, Miele’s range of freestanding, built-in, and induction ranges is designed to cater to different cooking needs and preferences.

However, it’s important to remember that you are paying for quality, durability, and advanced cooking technology, which may be worth the investment in the long run.

The installation process for Miele ranges can also be quite labor-intensive. Some models require professional installation, which can add to the overall cost of the appliance. However, this ensures that the range is installed correctly and safely, which is important for both the longevity of the appliance and the safety of your home.

Overall, Miele ranges are an excellent choice for anyone who is serious about cooking. Their advanced technology, energy efficiency, durability, and customization options make them a top choice for home chefs.

Miele, a company known for its precision-engineered appliances, offers a range of accessories that are designed to complement your Miele range while also enhancing your cooking experience.

Miele Range Pricing and Warranty Information

How to Choose the Right Miele Range for Your Home

When it comes to cooking appliances, Miele is a name that is synonymous with quality and reliability. Their ranges are known for their sleek designs, high-end features, and exceptional performance. However, with so many different models and options available, it can be challenging to choose the right one for your home. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision.

Assessing Your Cooking Needs

The first step in choosing the right Miele range for your home is to assess your cooking needs. Think about the type of meals you prepare, your cooking style, and any particular features or functions you need in your appliance. Are you an avid baker who needs a range with a convection oven? Do you frequently cook for large groups and need a range with multiple burners? By identifying your specific needs, you can narrow down your options and choose a range that meets your requirements.

It’s also important to consider your cooking habits. Do you prefer gas or electric cooking? Do you like to cook with a wok or other specialty cookware? Make sure the range you choose can accommodate your cooking preferences.

Evaluating Your Kitchen Space

Before investing in a Miele range, you need to ensure that it fits in your kitchen. Evaluate your available space, the kitchen layout, and your cabinet configuration to determine the best size and type of range for your home. If you have a small kitchen, a compact range with fewer burners might be a better fit. If you have a large kitchen with ample counter space, you might want to consider a larger range with more features.

It’s also essential to consider the ventilation requirements for your range. Miele ranges require proper ventilation to operate safely and efficiently. Make sure you have a vent hood or other ventilation system in place before installing your range.

Budget Considerations

Miele ranges come at a premium price point, and you need to factor in your budget when making a purchase. Determine how much you’re willing and able to spend and look for models that fit your budget while still offering the features you need. Keep in mind that investing in a high-quality range can save you money in the long run by reducing energy costs and minimizing repairs.

When shopping for a Miele range, be sure to compare prices and features across different models and retailers. Some retailers offer financing options or promotions that can help make your purchase more affordable.

In conclusion, choosing the right Miele range for your home requires careful consideration of your cooking needs, kitchen space, and budget. By following these tips and doing your research, you can find a range that meets your requirements and enhances your cooking experience.

Conclusion: Is a Miele Range Right for You?

Miele ranges are the perfect kitchen appliance for those seeking advanced cooking technology, versatility, and durability. While they come at a premium price, the benefits they offer are well worth the investment. With Miele ranges, you can enjoy cooking gourmet meals from the comfort of your home while also adding sophistication and style to your kitchen.

Best 36-Inch Gas Cooktops (2022 Update)

by Kathy Miller|Last Modified: November 3, 2022|Why Trust Us ?

Our top picks for 2022 are:

Purchasing a gas cooktop should be easy. You read reviews online then go to your local appliance store to choose one.

Choosing one should be easy. After all, a cooktop is half a stove. The only twist is popular brands like GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, and Samsung do not produce popular gas cooktops.

Most brands with popular cooktops like Thermador, Wolf, Miele, and BlueStar don’t sell conventional stoves but only professional ranges.

Let me make this decision easier: Choosing a cooktop is about burner output, burner configuration, and ventilation.

In this article, you will learn all about the seven most popular gas cooktops and their features like burner output and simmering capability.

You will also learn a lot about gas cooking and ventilation. Knowing how to vent a gas cooktop and whether a gas cooktop is better than an electric or induction cooktop is essential.

Let’s get started.

The Best 36-Inch Gas Cooktops for 2022

Wolf CG365P/S

CG365PS

Why You Should Consider a Wolf Gas Cooktop: Dual Stacked Burners

Wolf’s gas cooktop has dual-stacked burners. You can simmer at a lower temperature on two of the 100 BTU Thermador XLO or SKS UltraLow burners, but you can simmer on all the Wolf burners at 365 BTU.

Brand Profile: Wolf is American-made and family-owned.

Burner Output:

One burner at 18,000 BTU
One burner at 12,000 BTU
Three burners at 9100 BTU

Thermador SGSX365TS

Thermador-SGSX365TS

Why You Should Consider a Thermador Gas Cooktop: Star Burners

Many other bloggers will refer to Thermador’s Star Burners as projecting more heat around the pan. I don’t see heat diffusion as a benefit. The burner heats the pan, and the pan cooks the food.

That said, Thermador has an excellent simmer on two burners. They also have an interesting rebate program. You can buy the cooktop and wall oven and get a free dishwasher with their One-Two-Free rebate program.

Brand Profile: Thermador is American-made and German-owned.

Burner Output:

Two burners at 9,100 BTU
Two burners at 12,000 BTU
One Burner at 16,000 BTU

BOSCH NGM8656UC

Bosch-NGM8656UC

Why You Should Consider a Bosch Gas Cooktop: Control

Bosch’s gas cooktop has a similar design to a Thermador. Then again, they are the same company. Bosch has a new design allowing you more control between settings.

Brand Profile: Bosch is American-made and German-owned.

Burner Output:

One burner at 19,000 BTU
Two burners at 12,000 BTU
One burner at 10,000 BTU
One burner at 5,000 BTU

LG Studio CBGS3628S

LG-Studio-CBGS3628S

Why You Should Consider an LG Studio Gas Cooktop: Burner Output and Reliability

LG now manufactures the most reliable appliances in the industry. However, LG Studio’s gas cooktop currently has the hottest single burner available at 24,000 BTU (that’s hot).

The cooktop offers Wi-Fi and a two-year warranty.

Brand Profile: LG Studio is Korean-owned and manufactured.

Burner Output:

One burner at 24,000 BTU
One burner at 13,500 BTU
One burner at 10,000 BTU
One burner at 5,000 BTU

Fisher & Paykel CDV3-365H-N

Fisher-&-Paykel-CDV3-365H-N

Why Should You Consider a Fisher Paykel Gas Cooktop: Professional Burner Output

BlueStar and SKS may have hotter burners, but Fisher & Paykel has a high output on every burner like a professional range. The center burner is 20,000 BTU, while the others are 15,000 BTU each.

Brand Profile: Fisher & Paykel is New Zealand-made and Chinese-owned.

Burner Output:

One burner at 20,000 BTU
Four burners at 15,000 BTU

How We Chose the Best Gas Cooktops

We listed the best cooktops based on features and availability.

Fisher & Paykel, Beko, and LG Studio are the most available gas cooktop brands.

The most popular gas cooktops are Wolf, Thermador, and Bosch. However, you will wait six months to a year for these brands. BlueStar is more of a niche brand. You will wait for a BlueStar as well.

Which Gas Cooktop Should You Buy?

Bosch, Beko, Thermador, Wolf, BlueStar, LG Studio, and Fisher & Paykel have the best 36-inch gas cooktops. Choosing one depends on how you cook and what you value.

Below, we compared each cooktop by highest BTU burner, lowest BTU burner, burner configuration, and value.

Which Gas Cooktop has the Highest BTU Burner?

LG Studio – 24,000 BTU
BlueStar – 22,000 BTU
Bosch – 20,000 BTU
Fisher & Paykel – 20,000 BTU
Wolf – 18,000 BTU
Beko – 18,000 BTU
Thermador – 16,000 BTU

LG Studio has the hottest sealed burner on this list at 24,000 BTU.

BlueStar has two 22,000 BTU burners. However, the burners are open and not sealed like the others.

You must clean under the cooktop surface if you spill a lot. Every piece is removable and can be cleaned at the sink.

Fisher & Paykel and Bosch have 20,000 BTU, but Fisher & Paykel has the highest output on the other burners at 15,000 BTU.

A good question to answer is how do you cook? If you typically use one burner like me cooking for my daughter, then LG Studio is a good choice. For two or more, BlueStar and Fisher & Paykel are good considerations.

Which Gas Cooktop has the Lowest BTU Simmer Burner?

Thermador – 100s BTU
Wolf – 350 BTU
Miele – 620 BTU
Bosch – 500 BTU
LG Studio 650 BTU
Beko – 675 BTU
BlueStar – 130 degrees
Fisher & Paykel 140 degrees

These cooktops allow you to simmer soups or sauces, but if you need extra low heat, your two best options are Thermador’s and Wolf’s gas cooktops.

Their simmer burners are low enough for melting chocolate without using a double boiler, for instance. Wolf has a constant flame of 350 BTU on every burner. Thermador has an intermittent (on/off) flame to maintain 100 BTU on two XLO burners.

Which Gas Cooktop has the best Burner Configuration?

Thermador
Wolf
Bosch
Beko

The placement of the burners and control knobs is important for style and performance.

The Thermador, Beko, Fisher & Paykel, LG Studio, and Bosch gas cooktops have the highest power burner in the center of the cooktop.

This is important for ventilation reasons. If you use a range hood, the burner will be centered under the hood.

With a downdraft, this burner will be right next to the intake, so the most used burner has the best capture area for both venting options. Then again, why would you ever downdraft in new construction?

If you are using a downdraft for new construction, redesign your plan.

The control knobs of the Thermador, BlueStar, and Bosch are located at the front center of the cooktop.

The configuration allows for the most usable space on the cooktop surface to easily arrange multiple pots and pans.

What You Need to Know Before Choosing a Gas Cooktop

Rangetops vs. Cooktops

Rangetop-vs-Cooktop-yale-appliance

Gas Rangetop with a Griddle (Left) vs. Gas Cooktop (Right)

The terms are not interchangeable. Cooktops and rangetops are very different in features, especially for installation.

A cooktop has controls on the top and is cut into a countertop. Typically, a cooktop has less BTU, one less burner, and no built-in grill or griddle provision.

A rangetop is the top of a professional range installed on your cabinet. They have front controls, higher burner output, and the option for a grill or griddle on top.

A big misconception: The cooktop does have less BTU, but all the cooktops on the list have at least one or twp high-output burners of 15,000 BTU or more.

Cooktops also are less expensive at $500-$1000.

Is Gas Better Than Electric?

Cooking on a Gas Cooktop

Gas cooktops can reach a boil or simmer fairly quickly, whereas electric heats the glass, and the glass heats the pan. It’s slower to heat, and that same process is reversed for simmering.

Ultimately, gas is better for cooking.

In terms of cleaning, you have to clean both frequently. The gas burner and the electric surface will heat, so any spills will be baked in to the stovetop and harder to clean.

However, you would typically need a high CFM range hood if you choose a gas stovetop. You can read the venting section below (it’s important).

If you plan to purchase a range hood along with your gas cooktop, then gas is easily better. However, you may want to consider electric if don’t have a good venting option.

Is Gas Better Than Induction?

Cooking on an Induction Cooktop

Induction cooking is magnetic heat that excites the metal in your pan, so the pan cooks the food. Induction is faster than gas with a better simmer.

It’s also easier to clean because the glass doesn’t heat and more child safe because the magnets need to sense metal to activate.

However, you need 30 amps at least for an induction cooktop versus less than 12 for gas.

Venting a Gas Cooktop

Yale-Appliance-Ventilation-Hoods-Gas-Cooking

Cooking, in general, but especially gas, emits Cabon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrous Oxide, Formaldehyde, and Particular Matter.

You should plan adequate venting to evacuate these gases out of your house. We cover this in many of our venting articles, but proper ventilation includes:

High CFM – Depending on how you cook, 400-600. Remember, over 400 CFM triggers Make-Up Air Laws stating you need fresh air return.
Large Capture Area – The hood should cover the burners.
Good Ducting – Your duct should run straight up or back. Never down.

Can You Place a Downdraft Behind a Gas Cooktop?

Downdraft on a Kitchen Island

Every manufacturer will say yes, you can place a downdraft behind a gas cooktop. That does not mean you should.

It’s a pretty important decision with the overall look of your kitchen, especially with an island.

Downdrafts have enough CFM at 600- 1200. CFM is cubic feet per minute. However, there is almost no capture area.

Smoke is channeled first and then exhausted. Downdrafts do not have a chamber like a hood.

A range hood is much better even at lower CFM, especially if you prefer to cook using high heat on a wok, grill, or griddle.

Many of these cooktops also have high-output burners, so you will be creating a lot of heat.

A hood can channel and capture smoke and use gravity to push it outside. The downdraft is reversing gravity with no capture area.

Downdrafts should be used only as a last resort, especially if you like to cook.

Key Takeaways

Our staff chefs test all these brands in our showroom kitchens.

Beko has the lowest price at $1,249. Their cooktop costs less than the other six cooktops listed and offers good configuration and decent power.

Beko is consistently rated well with rebate incentives and have appliances in every category to complete a whole kitchen. They also have had the best availability.

Overall, Thermador will offer the broadest range of temperature management and has a great burner style offering a star shape. The Thermador is a great option if you’re looking for a very low simmer.

Wolf is 100% American-made and consistently among the least serviced premium appliances.

The cooktop also offers a great burner output and can simmer effectively on every burner versus on two burners for Thermador.

The signature red knobs (black or stainless are also an option) are on the side for easy access to the front burners. You do not have to reach over the knobs to reach the burners, especially with heavy pots.

Then you have three good choices if you want greater output.

The LG Studio has the highest single burner at 24,000 BTU, while BlueStar has two 22,000 BTU burners, but you have to clean under the top.

Then Fisher & Paykel will offer you all high-output burners with one at 20,000 BTU and four burners at 15,000 BTU.

LG Studio, Thermador, BlueStar, and Wolf offer a two-year warranty, whereas Bosch offers a traditional one-year warranty.
