How do I cook things in the oven with different temperatures?

How do I cook things in the oven with different temperatures?

If one dish needs to be cooked at 350 degrees F and another at 400 degrees F, set the oven for 375. Most ovens are off by about 25 degrees anyway, so as long as it’s set around the required temperature, the dish will turn out fine. Arrange the dishes so there is enough space between them.

Can you cook other things in the oven with the turkey?

Yes, the last thing in your oven should probably be the turkey (unless you’re grilling or deep-frying). But any turkey should rest for at least 30 minutes before carving, so take full advantage. Your oven will be free to bake a batch of biscuits, or reheat any oven-baked side dishes that need to be warm before serving.

Can I eat turkey at 163?

According to the USDA’s own data, as long as your turkey spends at least 3.7 minutes at or above,150°F (66°C), it is safe to eat. In other words, by the time it’s done resting (you do let your turkey rest before carving, right?), you should be good to go.
