I’m not a chef. I’m a home cook, just like you. But I’ve never been afraid to ask, “What if we tried it differently?”

That curiosity, and plenty of experimenting in my own kitchen, led me to create the UpRoaster. It’s also what I bring to my DIY Peking Duck cooking classes here in Calgary: practical techniques you can use in your own home oven.

This time, I put vertical roasting to the turkey test.

Two approximately 19 lb turkeys, cooked at the same time in the same home oven. One on a flat roasting pan with a rack, the other on the UpRoaster.

After about 2½ hours, both breast probes read 165°F. But underneath? Very different results.

Watch the reveal for yourself.

With Canadian Thanksgiving on October 12 and US Thanksgiving on November 26, what are you planning to cook? Turkey, chicken, duck or shawarma?

Keep your favourite recipe and seasonings. Try a different way to roast.

Handing over the grand prize! 🏆

Met up with Michael to officially present him with his brand-new UpRoaster pan after winning our Calgary Chinatown Street Festival weight-guessing contest.

Out of more than 200 entries, Michael nailed it with a guess of 3.5 lbs (just 0.05 lbs off the actual 3.55 lb verified weight) and won the live tie-breaker draw!

Huge congratulations again, Michael—we can't wait to see what amazing, crispy roasts you create with it in your kitchen.

I'm so proud of your kids Saron! They learned patience, focus, methology and problem solving skills on one of the most complex culinary recipes to make in the world. They did it with flying colors; even before they are teenagers! Watching your family bonding and learning together was amazing...no tech screen time involved, just enjoying quality time and being in the moment. I hope they carry the positive experience and learned skills into other facets of their budding young lives and offcourse can't wait to see what else they will cook at home. Chef Philip 👏❤️
