Hi Andrea,
Thank you for reaching out to me regarding your host's question about making Barbecue Chicken in the Deep Covered Baker without a turn table. While a turn table can be helpful in evenly cooking the chicken, it is not a necessary tool for this recipe. If your host does not have a turn table, she can simply rotate the baker halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Alternatively, she can also use a baking sheet or rack to place the chicken on inside the baker, which will also help with even cooking. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further questions. Happy cooking!
Best,
Pampered Chef Consultant
