    Free Cornish X - Worth it??

    It's good to be a nice neighbour. Our neighbours don't mind the crowing, since the "Crows" and Ravens here make far more racket than our birds. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a horror movies it's so loud.

    Thanks - your avatar looks like an Ameraucana!?!? Are you doing crosses too? I like birds without combs and wattles because of our climate.

    Free Cornish X - Worth it??

    Low and slow - I did mine at 325f and I'm not sure of the time. I did it on it's breast first, then one side, then another side, then breast up (about 15 minutes per side). I Seasoned it and sprayed with grapeseed oil (I have an oil mister). You can use olive oil, but I didn't want to affect the...

    Free Cornish X - Worth it??

    The bird wasn't really tender (mushy) like a store bought bird, but it wasn't tough either. I think the slow cooking and the moist stuffing (plus I turned it a few times during cooking) kept it juicy and tender. No, I haven't done turkey this way, I did it this way: Part 1 Part 2 I did...

    Well, if you use a lesser quality bird and your boning turns out well, you may wish you had used a nice quality bird to start with! Of course, presentation isn't everything - it's really just the icing on the cake. Good luck - once you get it, it's a fabulous way to serve for company.

    Free Cornish X - Worth it??

    Did okay on my first try, although it wasn't nearly as "pretty" as the one Jacques did, and it took a lot longer. I had the video on in my office, and would pause, run into the kitchen, do a bit, then run back into my office to watch the next bit. The next time I did it without watching, and...

    Free Cornish X - Worth it??

    Well, if yo have a Sous-Vide (water bath cooker) they are absolutely worth it. I bone, stuff, and roll the meat in the skin, vacuseal it, and cook it on low heat for about 12 hours. Then chill. It's really wonerful sliced for salads. OR, bone (leave lower leg bones in) as above and cook it...
