The tray is about 2" deep, very thin, light as a feather, non-stick coated aluminium, not designed to last.

Washing them would be advisable after each time you use them for that non burnt food taste!

Would my turkey be branded with a reverse McCain logo after roasting it in the oven on this tray?

Maybe someone who is a proper cook can comment but for some reason the texture for me seems much better when I cook my spuds from frozen. Perfectly crunchy but not rock hard and the inside is fluffy. I've cooked from chilled (left in fridge after cooling in the air after the boil) and also from room temperature after the boil process but they're not as good - still brilliant tasting but just not perfect.
I cook them for about 45 minutes at 180 in a fan oven after I've frozen them. When I heat the duck fat in the oven first, I add the frozen spuds and roll each spud in the fat to ensure they are basted all over to ensure crispiness.
Note on the boil - I boil them for about 10-15 minutes or until they are soft and begin to fall apart. A knife to test firmness is useful as they boil. Don't want to over-boil or it'll be mash. Then drain water, shake spuds in the pot so they end up all rugged - this helps with the final texture when oven cooking creating all those crispy parts.
If you didn't know....I love roasties. lol :smiley:

Fine with the rest - but does freezing actually do anything for a whole spud. Kinda get it for chips as with the large surface area to volume ratio the inside can disappear or go yuck!
Must give it a go.
Also I never tried duck fat....I love cooking pork chops in it from after cooking duck...but never tried it with roasties.
Cheers bud!

I know this is probably ignorant of me, but, err why not just throw potatoes in the oven and roast them?

Making your own roasties with duck fat just cannot be beaten but it takes much longer using my preferred method (peeled, chopped, soaked in cold water, par boiled, frozen, then oven cooked in duck fat) than throwing a prepared bag into the oven.

Bought some from Asda last week for £1 800g. The iceland pack is almost twice the size, just bought them 1400g, and the tray look decent as well, sturdy and big.
Thanks op, Heat added.

I think the par boiled potatoes are soaked in fat before they are frozen.
After roasting them for 20 minutes the pan was 3mm thick of oil.
I had not put any oil into the pan, all of this fat had been exuded from the heat of the oven. If this was made mostly from tallow, (beef fat), the health implications of this foodstuff are awful.
Suitable for your worst enemies, who have stroke/ blood circulation issues only.

I got one of these in the summer and they are quite good. I also use underneath silicone moulds when I am baking. Works a treat.

I only ever use disposable trays anyway, can't stand the burnt taste once your tray gets used a few times
