Mom's pan was "just" big enough, so didn't use bag. Lacked a rack so placed
bird on 3 spring tongs on bottom of pan opened and layed out like a chevron.
Worked great. Unfortunately, bird still came out a bit dry, even though I
yanked at 165 deg F. Probably shoulda yanked at 160. I may try a bag at
xmas, jes as a goof.

We just got brand new one. Haven't been yet, but tend to avoid them. Over
the years, I've only found one or two items worth buying in over a dozen
dollar stores. Ninety-nine point nine nine percent of the stuff is
worthless junk.
