    The 5 Stupidest Questions People Ask The Butterball Turkey Hotline

    By Chris Morran on November 23, 2010 5:15 PM 0 views

    If you've ever wondered why companies like Butterball have a Turkey Talk-Line to help people cook a bird that, in theory, shouldn't require all that much effort, here are some examples why.

    A Reuters editor talked to the call-fielders at Butterball and came back with these head-scratching gems:

    *Is it okay to thaw my turkey in the bathtub while bathing my kids?

    *Can I brine my turkey in the washing machine?

    *Can I use my oven's self-cleaning cycle to speed up the cooking process?

    *If I cut my turkey with a chainsaw will the oil affect the taste?

    *Can I take my frozen turkey into my sauna to thaw it faster?

    If you need to know the answers to any of these, then you should probably call the Butterball line... or order in for Thanksgiving.

    I think they are all very valid questions....well maybe not the sauna one, thats just crazy.

    I'll have to try the one about thawing the turkey while bathing the kids, I bet it would work

    Yah, some of those are valid. For instance, thawing out in water as compared to air speeds it up a lot.

    *If I cut my turkey with a chainsaw will the oil affect the taste?

    My Dad used to saw frozen turkeys in half with a hand saw because he'd always buy huge turkeys that wouldn't fit in the roaster. One wouldn't even fit into the oven.

    If the guy is worried about chainsaw oil affecting the taste, I suggest sawing while the bird is frozen, and wiping off any oil residue with a cloth dampened with varsol.
