Does a roasting bag affect the cooking time?
I never used a bag. But the following feedback was received from a person who did and it significantly reduced the cooking time. I don;t have any precise times to offer you. Here is the person’s comment… “I used your method last night, which is GREAT btw, however after the first 20 minutes I put the turkey in a bag. I set the timer and I have a digital meat thermometer and I was suprised to hear it go off nearly an hour before the timer was supposed to go off. I also have an oven thermometer and made sure it stayed at the correct temp the whole time so I would imagine using alluminum foil as some people have asked would reduce cooking time since the bag GREATLY reduced it. We were able to cook a 13 lb turkey on a weeknight and still get some sleep! It was done through and through and juicy as can be. Eating some of the breast right now and the rosemary really improved the flavor. Thanks again!” Dylan H.
