You read that right — this handy little device is called a Turkey Cannon, and it’s an infusion roaster guaranteed to help you cook the most succulent turkey you’ve ever had and truly impress your family during this year’s Thanksgiving feast. It might look odd, but it has a basic concept some might recognize. Just like beer can chicken, the Turkey Cannon sits inside your bird, sending hot, flavorful steam directly into the interior so that it cooks from the inside and the outside at the same time. Its design also holds the bird at an angle so it can still fit inside nearly any oven. COOK THE PERFECT BIRD With the Camp Chef Sante Turkey Cannon

At the place where health care and advanced technology collide, one company is making strides that other major players still haven’t been able to grasp. While companies like Amazon are still working out the logistics of how to deliver basic items by drone to an impatiently waiting public, Zipline has spent the last four years narrowing their focus to one specific need in one part of the world: They’ve pioneered the delivery of crucial medical supplies to a network of hospitals in Africa. Launched in Rwanda in 2016, the San Francisco-based company now transports 75% of the country’s blood supply outside its capital city. In May 2019, Zipline moved their services into Ghana, as well, and in less than one year, they reached 2,000 hospitals and over 12 million people. Co-founder and CEO Keller Rinaudo knew that building a direct connection with the country’s civil aviation regulator, integrating with public health care supply chains, and developing and controlling all the company’s own technology were the keys to making such a feat happen. Through the use of carefully manned distribution centers that operate fleets of 30 drones and carry about 150 different medical supplies, including blood products and vaccines, Zipline can fulfill a hospital’s text message order within a 40-minute window. Zipline is now beginning to branch out and apply its experience and knowledge around the world. The company launched in India this year and is now looking to start bringing medical supplies to areas in North Carolina. This type of successfully orchestrated drone delivery service has thousands of consumer uses that millions are eager to utilize, and that could be what has made regular drone delivery still seem like a luxury of the future. Because Zipline has focused on serving a specific pool with specific needs, they’ve already been able to start mastering the process. It goes to show that finding a way to care for others first can lead to extraordinary success. DELIVERING CARE LIKE NEVER BEFORE Zipline’s Drones Help Save Lives

With the cannon, turkey cooks faster while staying juicier, as it absorbs the flavors from the liquid you’ve loaded into the cannon. And because the turkey is lifted up off the roasting pan, air circulates around it for even cooking and crisp skin, while built-in side forks keep it stable so it doesn’t tip. Best of all, the Turkey Cannon can also be used on chickens as small as four pounds, so you can take advantage of this ingenious kitchen tool any time of year.
