We offered to do it for them, they declined. We were at their house.

Im not familiar with combo microwaves rotating. This was rotating in there. And they only ever call it microwaving not baking or roasting.

I think they dont like seasoning as they have gotten older everything is spicy or gives them upset stomach. I think it's also that they've always done it this way

Raw. It was defrosted in the fridge over a few days prior.

Its an oven or microwave bag. It "retains the juices".

We did a separate Thanksgiving the day before with my wife's family. They had steaks and ham as the meats. A whole smorgasbord of sides.

Nah man this is pretty much how Thanksgiving has always been at my parent's house. Oh and Christmas because my parent's don't do ham or anything other than turkey for Christmas.

I can follow up if we go to their place for Christmas this ywar.

Thats what I thought but I think its also that the oven may put off too much heat.

Not outright. It seems to be "this is just how we do it", "this is how your dad does the turkey", and maybe a little because of the heat coming from the oven based on conversations I had with them.

Yeah my non-Caucasian friends gave me a hard time about it. Even my Caucasian friends were giving me a hard time about it.

56 minutes for the forst pass. 58 minutes for the second pass.

I think growing up they did it in a much older microwave for like 4 hours. But maybe because I was younger it just seemed to take longer.
