Who's cooking bird this week?

It's been many years since we've done turkey for Thanksgiving. Think I'm gonna give it a shot.

Gotta choose between my grill and a convection oven.

Anyone else cooking bird this week?

Where do you place the probe: breast or thigh?
Every cooking show I've ever watched said thigh until last night when Alton Brown said breast. He said shove it in all the way to the bone then pull it back an inch.

Same here, I've never heard anything but thigh.
I've always wondered if I had it in the right place in the thigh; never seemed deep enough. The breast-to-bone then back an inch sounds more reliable.

Yeah, since the meat is more dense.

That's what I've always done. Can't remember where I learned it... very possibly an AB episode years ago.

I think the main point is if you wait until the thigh is done cooking, with carryover temps, the breast will be extremely dry.

Don't the thighs require a higher temperature in order to be cooked thoroughly, compared to the breast? 180F vs. 165F, I think I read.

If so, it makes sense to have the probe in the breast.

Do you go straight in to the breast or angle down from the top?

Insert the probe in the breasts rather than between the thighs? I don't know the punch line here but it has to include the word "stuffing" doesn't it?

I think that depends on how long, wide and stiff the probe is.

Don't think it matters. Straight down if you've got the room in the oven, at an angle if you don't.

I'll take it only if vailpass doesn't want it. I've got a perfectly functioning wired one, so I'm not exactly in need.

Very generous of you to offer SEC. Please send to FMB (we never forget our first infraction) on the condition he posts a report of how it works after he uses it a time or two for those of us who might consider a cordless in the future.

Cordless as in there's a radio connected to the probe inside that oven that transmits to a receiver outside the oven?

I wouldn't think that is the case.
