Re: cooking turkey in a paper bag.

Misc.
My Mother-in-law always made the best turkey in a paper bag, but I think the following is worth noting. I have never heard of anyone having a problem from the paper bags but I have been told that they sometimes get insecticide residue in supermarket storerooms, so I guess it is better to be safe than sorry. Perhaps the cooking bags have the same results.

In May 1998 the United States Department of Agriculture issued the following advice:

Do not use BROWN PAPER BAGS for cooking. They are not sanitary, may cause a fire and can emit toxic fumes. Intense heat may cause a bag to ignite, causing a fire in the oven and possibly adulterating the turkey. The ink, glue, and recycled materials in paper bags can emit toxic fumes when they are exposed to heat. Instead, use purchased oven cooking bags.
