The kitchen is the heart of the home, a place where family members gather for social interactions, making it the focal point of the house. It is a space where cooking is infused with love, and what better way to share these cherished moments than through a Thanksgiving meal? Whether it’s the mouthwatering marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes, crisp string beans, flavorful stuffing, or the savory turkey centerpiece, EuroChef aims to elevate your delicious home cooked meals this holiday.
Our Verona and Lofra brands are dedicated to enhancing your cooking experience by offering functional and user-friendly cooking modes to assist you in preparing your Thanksgiving feast. We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to make cooking a breeze.
Q: What size turkey will fit in my range?
Depending on the size of your EuroChef Range, you may fit a turkey up to 25 lbs. or more.
Q: How long should I cook my turkey and on with what oven function(s)?

When preparing an unfrozen turkey, begin by using the Conventional Cooking function to roast with the breast side facing up at 400 degrees for the initial 30 minutes. Afterward, lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees and continue roasting until the turkey is thoroughly cooked.
Turkey Weight Roasting Time
10 to 12 lb. 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours
12 to 14 lb. 2 to 2 1/2 hours
14 to 16 lb. 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours
16 to 18 lb. 2 1/2 to 3 hours
18 to 20 lb. 2 3/4 to 3 1/4 hours
20+ lb. 3 to 3 3/4 hours
Q: How do I keep cooking time on track?
It’s essential to always leave adequate time for the oven to fully preheat before cooking, as failing to do so can extend the cooking duration. It is also helpful to begin the cooking process with cookware and foods at room temperature, and not directly taken from the fridge to the heated oven.
Convection fans will also assist in maintaining consistent temperatures and are often used for cooking turkeys and roasts, as they help to keep the cooking schedule on track. Verona’s Designer Series of 36” ranges are ideal for keeping cook-time to a minimum with its dual convection fans that ensure optimal heat distribution for the most even cooking temperatures throughout the entire oven cavity.
Another valuable tip for staying on course with your cooking time is to resist the temptation to open the oven door, as this action leads to heat escaping and then the need for the oven to work to reach the set temperature once again. Instead, utilize the oven light to keep your cooking progress visible without the need to open the oven door, preserving the heat and energy.

Q: How do I know if my turkey is done?
Ensure that the turkey’s breast reaches a temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, while the thigh should register at 175 degrees Fahrenheit. To guarantee the turkey is cooked to perfection, we suggest using a meat thermometer, such as the one included in the Verona Chefs Pak.
Q: What is European Convection and why use it?

European Convection cooking combines a third heating element that works in conjunction with the convection fan(s), guaranteeing even roasting of the turkey from all angles. The consistent airflow will keep the turkey moist and minimize the need for frequent basting. Additionally, it effectively prevents flavor transfer, enabling you to cook multiple dishes at once without the risk of your pumpkin pie tasting like your asparagus. The European heating element combined with the convection fan(s), overall helps you to enjoy your meal more quickly without any concerns about flavor intermingling.
Q: When should I begin cooking and warming my side dishes?
Verona 36” Electric Double Oven Range
When using a single oven range, which features an extra-large oven cavity, you have the flexibility to start preparing side dishes while your turkey is roasting. You can also use the oven to reheat other dishes once the turkey is done cooking and begins to cool down. On the other hand, if you have a double oven range, you can cook or warm side dishes in one oven while simultaneously roasting the turkey the other oven. This allows for seamless multitasking, offering you the utmost convenience in preparing your complete holiday meal.
Additionally, stovetop prepped dishes such as stuffing or mashed potatoes contribute to a well-rounded Thanksgiving feast. Each Lofra semi-sealed brass burner is perfect for precise cooking performance with its heat precision and flexibility.
Q: What is the importance of proper ventilation?

To minimize the persistence of fumes and moisture when cooking, the range hood can effectively reduce the accumulated heat, odors, grease and humidity that will be generated in the kitchen during Thanksgiving preparations. Both Verona Appliances and Lofra offer a selection of hoods designed to efficiently ventilate your kitchen throughout the holiday season.

Verona Appliances has partnered with the star of HGTV’s “Good Bones,” Mina Starsiak Hawk, to renovate at-risk properties within the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Mina, along with her mother, Karen E. Laine, both work at their family company, Two Chicks and a Hammer, where they flip run-down homes and renovate them into contemporary design dwellings.
Mina’s skillful intelligence in real estate and Karen’s knowledge of interior and exterior design forms an unbeatable partnership, coming together to transform dream houses into reality, one house at a time. As Mina was renovating kitchens in these three flipped homes, she realized she wanted to create a modern design with European flair, so she decided to add a Verona range.
In the premiere episode of Season 7, titled “Quaint Cottage with Vintage Vibes,” Mina decides to enhance a small cottage home in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis with modern upgrades while preserving its timeless vintage charm. From the very first step on the porch, the house portrays lots of character with its charming siding, inviting windows and curb appeal.
Mina’s design choices come to life within the interior of the home, where you’re struck by the warmth and inviting ambiance. Mina designed this home with natural wood, a palette of soothing colors and a selection of textures, that overall creates a balance of both coziness and style. One of her primary objectives was to redefine the kitchen and dining room as a unified space while keeping the vintage aesthetic. To achieve this, she introduced a modern quartzite countertop with ample open space for functionality and style. For the perfect finishing touch, she added a counter-to-ceiling wall backsplash perfectly paired with a Matte Black Designer Dual Fuel Range from Verona Appliances.
In Season 7, Episode 13, titled, “Little Bit Luxurious,” Mina decided she wanted to transform this house from outdated and dull to elegant and modern. Located in The Valley of Indianapolis, her goal was to merge the living room and kitchen into one cohesive space, perfect for entertaining. To make the kitchen into an ideal dream space, Mina added several key elements. She installed a stunning quartzite countertop island, a stone backsplash and a Verona Designer Gas Range in White. In expressing her passion for designing the kitchen, she states to the homebuyers, “Look at your really fancy stove. That is not a first-time homebuyer’s stove. We’ve got the backsplash going all the way up, and other than it just being pretty, it makes it so easy to clean.”
In Season 8, Episode 1, titled, “Income Property with Big Issues,” Mina converts a two-story house into a dual-income property in the Bates Hendrick neighborhood of Indianapolis. Mina’s first decision on renovating the house was to refresh the home with contemporary upgrades while preserving some of the older elements. A significant aspect of the design was the kitchen, where she provided ample storage space and a pantry area. She also added black marble that extended all the way up to the ceiling, creating beautiful contrast with the Prestige Gas Range in White from Verona. Overall, Mina aimed to achieve the ultimate “wow factor,” leaving the homeowners stunned by the transformation that the house truly turned into the perfect dream home.

With living space being at a minimum in small apartments or condos in New York Metro style, the key focus is optimizing every inch of the limited area. Even with the constraints of a compact space, there is no need to compromise on your style preferences. New York Metro style exceeds in designing environments that exude a modern and luxurious aura. Ideal for achieving a contemporary look in a confined kitchen, many opt for Verona’s 24” and 30” Gas Ranges in Stainless Steel.

Here at Verona Appliances, we don’t just want to spotlight our products – we also want to spotlight what you can do with our products, and that includes cooking and baking for you and your family.
This month, we put the spotlight on apples and apricots because January is Apple and Apricot month. You might wonder why these fruits are paired (or should we say pear-ed?) together because other than their shape, they look nothing alike. Apples can vary in color from red to yellow to green and can be quite large, while apricots are more orange in color and are smaller. Apricots have large stones at their centers, while apples have seeds in a signature star pattern at their core.
These two fruits actually both belong to the rose family, or Rosaceae. They also both have versatility in cooking and can be used in several dishes. So, to honor Apple and Apricot month, we have a full three-course meal planned for a cozy night in.
It will be hard to eat just one!
