V-Racks and roasting turkeys - making it all fit

mad max beyond eggdome · November 2005

i've gotten a bunch of emails regarding getting everything to fit in the egg for a mad max (or other) turkey. ..one of the problems i know we all have is getting a roasting pan onto the plate setter with turkey inside. . .. i'm lucky enough to have that little trivet piece i use in my roasting pan to raise the turkey just a little bit above the bottom of my pan. .. .i know if you try to use a standard one-piece v-rack, it can raise the bird way to high (particularly a large bird). .. .[p]i saw a great v-rack at the safeway last night. . ..its a small metal frame, with adjustable pieces that form the 'V'. ..it will sit really low in the roasting pan, but still support any size turkey just above the pan bottom.... the perfect solution to the problem. . .here is a link to something like i'm talking about ...

Had one - lost it in the move. I agree, it IS a great little rack, with the advantage that it stores flat.[p]Ken

I bought one just like that from the dealer when I bought my Egg. Looks just like your picture, except it is chrome instead of black (or it was when I bought it). I don't remember exactly what I paid, but I'm sure it was under $20.00

I bought a chrome one like that at BGE in Atlanta.

mad max beyond eggdome,
I would encourage folks to buy the small v-rack from their local dealer.[p]That being said, 4 carrots and 2 onions cut in half will do the job nicely and add a nice flavor to your drippings.
