I bought this roaster for Thanksgiving, to cook a 22lb turkey. our oven eas being used for multiple items, so I needed the extra appliance. my turkey cooked quite fast andcwas very juicy. The bird was not browned, but very tender. The next time I will set temp to 450 and cook for 30 min and then turn down. I used the divider pans for cooked food after placing water in the liner. This made it a steam table...great. It also defrosts your frozen food, then will cook it. I also love the stainless steel finish. This summer I plan on baking in it on my deck, as I don't turn my oven on when it's hot.
