◾Miscellaneous Tips ◾When cooking a frozen turkey, you can remove the giblets halfway through the cooking process. If the giblets are not thawed enough to remove by that point, continue cooking in 10-minute increments until you are able to extract them
◾If the turkey browns too fast, simply cover it with foil
◾When cooking for an extended period of time, the parts of the NuWave Oven will become extremely hot. Use caution
