Plastic turkey leg holders?

Do I cut them off? I cut off the majority of it, but there is a thick band that I'm having trouble with. Will it melt at 500? Google is giving conflicting answers.

I've never removed them until it's serving time and they've always withstood my starting the turkey at 500 degrees.

Can I just say I'm astounded by these 500 degree comments? I've never heard of such a thing, and thought it was a typo, but I googled and that looks like kind of a fun and easy way to roast a turkey. How can you resist not opening the oven and peeking, though!

500 for 30 minutes. Take it out, put on a little foil. Then 350 I think?. Then, I just walk away. It is awesome.

I always cut them off.
