This comes on topic eventually...
The annual present from work is a turkey. A frozen one. I've only been there for 3 Christmasses and most of the folk waxed lyrical over the
*really* big turkeys they used to be given.
The ones I received over the last couple of years were 8 or 9 pounds and I was happy with this since there's only so much of the stuff that a family of three can cope with the smallest now being a bit over 2.
This year the thing is alost 17lbs. As it is, we've come up with a plan to cook the whole thing, bought a big roasting tin, will have a cooking day making pies and stuff to freeze.
I'm only going to do that once so next year I plan on splitting the thing in half.
Food safety says I shouldn't really defrost it, cut it in half and then re-freeze half (unless I want to risk some interesting bugs).
How would you lot go about splitting a 17lb frozen turkey? Lengthwise.
I have a feeling that a bow saw would be the best way.
- Blade is disposable so you can use a new one and keep things clean
- Fairly long throw.
A friend says hacksaw due to hardness.
Suggestions?
