Range, Wall Oven & Advantium 5-in-1 Oven - Maximum Turkey/Chicken Sizes

The following information can be used as a general guideline when determining what size turkey or chicken can be cooked in a range oven, wall oven or Advantium 5-in-1 oven. For any size oven, the food item should have a minimum of one inch of air space on all sides. This includes the top, bottom, right, left and back wall.

 

Range and Wall Oven Poultry Size:

Once again, for any size oven, the food item should have a minimum of one inch of air space on all sides to cook properly. This includes the top, bottom, right, left and back wall. A 24 to 26 pound turkey is usually the largest size turkey available for purchase. A typical bird size is about 22 to 23 pounds. The pan size needed to accommodate the turkey may restrict the size you choose. Larger sized turkeys are baked using the lowest rack position in the range oven/wall oven.

• A 30" Freestanding Range (and most 2017 and newer Slide-in Ranges) will hold a turkey that is about 24 to 26 pounds.

• For a 30" Freestanding Double Oven Range (and most 2017 and newer Slide-in Double Oven Ranges), the lower oven will hold a turkey that is about 20 pounds.

• • Please Note: The turkeys we test are normally in the 20 to 25 pound range and in those cases we use the lower oven of the double oven models. We do not have any information on turkey sizes for the upper oven nor do we recommend cooking whole turkeys/chickens/hams in the upper oven.

• A 30" Wall Oven will hold up to a 35 pound turkey.

• • Please Note: For 30" Single or Double Wall Ovens, it is recommended to go by turkey size rather than weight. Check the oven interior dimensions for the model you own to make sure the turkey will fit.

• A 27" and 24" Wall Oven will hold a turkey that is about 22 to 23 pounds. A larger bird may be accommodated depending on the shape of the bird.

 

Advantium 5-in-1 Oven Poultry Size:

When cooking either a whole chicken or a turkey breast in the Advantium 5-in-1 oven, the general rule of thumb for maximum size is determined by the casserole dish it is being cooked in. We recommend that poultry be cooked in a 3 to 5 quart casserole dish with a lid. Being cooked in the dish helps keep the food moist and prevents splatters in the oven.

 

Generally, a turkey breast weighing around 5 pounds will fit into one of these dishes or a whole chicken weighing up to about 6 to 8 pounds will fit. The turkey or chicken must fit into the dish with the lid to cook properly. The same power level settings used for a whole chicken can be used for cooking a turkey breast.
