I've eyeing this vertical roaster for awhile and decided to push the purchase button because it was on sale. I will never roast my chicken in a pan again. I liked being able to veggies and herbs to the roaster during the cooking process. The chicken cooks on the inside which ensures that it's cooked throughout. I loved having the entire chicken with crispy skin as opposed to only the top and sides. Also, cleanup was a breeze.
Like to see in bigger size-diameter This size Not big enough for vegetables put with chicken. Only Chicken medium size. I hope it show up in bigger size and not only black color . Other than that it is ok. .Maybe color not very good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My family loves a well roasted chicken, and this vertical roaster cooks to perfection. When you stand the chicken up, instead of laying it flat, the resulting bird is moist and juicy with no basting, and with a delightfully crispy skin. The skin remains intact and does not stick to the roasting pan because it is upright. Perfect in regular and convection ovens, as well as outdoor barbeques. Can't wait use when roasting a nice fatty duck!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this piece, it took me a few weeks to make up my mind to buy this, man I am so happy that I did. The crispiest skin with the juiciest meat. I just made my first chicken roast a few days ago and posted pictures of it on social media. It was a big hit with so many people trying it immediately. I mean it is not even a week and I see everyone else is happy with their purchase. It is a must-have for a great chicken roast. Period.
If you like roasted chicken this is the tool for you. The cast iron heats evenly. The chicken sits on a spike that heats it from the inside while the oven cooks the outside. The juices drip down and collect in the dish allowing for 360 degree browning and crisping of the skin. The juices easily pour out to use on their own or to be thickened into a delicious gravy.
