Basting the Bird: 1937
December 4, 1937. Washington, D.C. "Correct way to bake turkey. Miss Alexander removes the bird from oven and bastes it." View full size.
"Lorain" Oven Heat Regulator
This tells a little bit about the temperature control of those old ovens:
Not for lifting
That oven may be fine for basting, but I wouldn't want to be the one to pick up a 400-degree 25-pound turkey plus sizzling grease from chin height, navigate it over that open door, and transport it safely to a hip-height table.
Not very safety-first
Anything that involves having a pan of scalding hot fat at eye-level for basting cannot be correct.
