Time depends very much on whether you make a dense moist dressing or a light one. Allow about the same time you would in a regular oven (at least an hour). It is done when the temp in the middle of the pan is 180 degrees on a quick read thermometer. When it reaches this temp ypou can turn it down to 180 to hold for a couple of hours, 165 to serve.
