    My local Donnybrook fair does but we're too late unfortunately. Does anyone know anywhere else on the North side or less preferably the Southside?

    Your kitchen!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭Hammer89


    Anywhere apart from that? If I owned a business I'd offer this service. I wouldn't trust a Millennial like myself to make me a waffle in the kitchen so I'm guessing there's other places.

    Throw it on the shopping trolley bbq as northsiders are used to

    Didn't even know such a service was provided and there's me slaving away Christmas morning!!

    Why would you cook a turkey so far in advance of Christmas Day? You can't freeze cooked meat so it might be gone off by next week.

    It's massive and his oven isn't big enough.

    Didn't know that. Could have sworn it was a bad idea due to food borne bacteria.

    You can freeze cooked meat as long as it hasn't been frozen before. You can't thaw, cook, then refreeze. Well you can but you might die.

    You certainly can defrost uncooked, cook and refreeze!

    You can cook, defrost and then refreeze.

    Basically you can't refreeze already frozen uncooked or already frozen cooked

    Edit: I may have misinterpreted your message, so apologies if so.

    I freeze cooked meat that was formerly frozen all the time - hasn't killed me yet!

    If you cant find a place to cook the turkey, try and ask your butcher to bone & roll the turkey.
    It will end up being a lot smaller and stands a better chance of fitting in your oven.

    You can definitely thaw frozen meat, cook it, and refreeze it. I've a freezer full of meals done that way.

    But once you thaw raw meat, you need to cook it or throw it out. I think.

    Just cook something nice for Christmas Day. Like a steak, or a roast chicken. Or goose.

    Dude might have plenty of disposable income and has decided to have someone poorer than him cook his dinner for him. Don’t be jealous because he’s successful

    I don't know what's lazy about not being able to cook a Christmas turkey. I guarantee I know how to do something pretty basic and common that you don't. Are you lazy for not knowing? No you've just never needed to know how.

    Pfft. REAL successful people get their turkeys to cook poor people.

    And the politicians get their turkeys to vote for Christmas.

    Why don't you learn? It's a very easy thing to cook. It just takes a while but if it's late you get extra drinking time so it's a win win situation.

    I know my local butcher did this for customers years ago. He had one of those rotisserie style ovens for cooking chickens.
    It was for boned and rolled turkey or turkey crowns, the taste of those turkeys was fantastic because he would remove the Tinfoil about 45 minutes before end of cooking so you had all the juices constantly basting the turkeys.
    I haven’t seen the service offered in years

    Because there's no "ability" involved. It's basically a bigger chicken. You cook it for 20 minutes per lb, that's it. There's no magic or rocket science involved.

    Just throw some Turkey Twizzlers in the oven.

    Are you not contradicting yourself?

    You've clearly done it before. Congratulations but those who don't have your experience aren't lazy so much as they are fortunate that they have never been in a position where they have had to do it themselves.

    Uh, there definitely is a way to make good turkey. What's the point in having bland dry meat just to say you did it yourself?

    Well I wouldn't want to eat your turkey cause its 20 min per lb not kilo.

    ah there is a little bit of skill, not so much in the cooking because that bit is easy, retaining the moisture takes a little bit of effort though.

    It's not a punishment, it's cooking a bird!

    That's where the power hose comes in handy
