Roots & Harvest Stainless Steel Chicken Plucker

To use, scald bird in 150° F water for 1-2 minutes. You may want to mix soap with the scalding water to make the oil on the bird's feathers break down more easily (this will also allow the hot water to better penetrate the bird's skin). Press the start button on the chicken plucker power switch and put up to 16 lbs. of birds into the plucker. (Birds weighing more than 8 lbs. each should not be put into the plucker.) Spray the bird(s) with water from a hose while they’re in the plucker; this will help the feathers off more easily. Let the machine process until the feathers are removed. A properly scalded bird will pluck in about 15-30 seconds. Turn the chicken plucker off when finished. DO NOT retrieve bird until the plucker has come to a complete stop. Unplug the plucker when you're finished using it.
