Beautiful for roasting chickens under 2kg
on May 24, 2019
Posted by: Philippe Egalité
from New Haven, CT
I've been using this vertical roaster exclusively now for about a year - I used to make good chicken - now people rave about them! I rub the chicken with salt and herbs (including the interior), let it sit on the roaster in the refrigerator for several hours, then roast it on high heat (450) until done.
My only caveat is that you can probably put a chicken over 2kg on this roaster, but then you'll probably want to truss the legs and/or wings while in the 'fridge to prevent them from dripping/touching/etc. - once it goes in the oven, you might want to put a sheet pan on the shelf under the roaster if you are going to cook a larger bird - the diameter of the pan doesn't quite cut it for me.
Last bit of advice - put the chicken on the spit neck first and ensure that the legs are untrussed and pointed to the back of your oven when you are roasting for maximum enjoyment.

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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Most Succulent Chicken Ever
on October 18, 2020

[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.

Chick it out

Great option for cooking a whole chicken. The cast iron heats up evenly so the portion the chicken rests on is cooking the bird as well. The base collects the juices. The skin is so crispy, the inside so moist. Cleans up easily.

PERFECT ROASTED CHICKEN
on April 16, 2020

This awesome pan does a fantastic job roasting a chicken. It's made completely of enamelled cast iron so it heats up throughly but doesn't require seasoning and can be washed with soap and water.
The handles are wide so it's easy to move around even with a large chicken on it. The center is hollow cast iron which helps lighten the load but also speeds up the cooking process by cooking from the inside as well as the outside. It has a deep enough base that it captures all the juices without spillage but can also be used to add flavors such as beer.
I recently saw a cinnamon roll recipe that I'm anxious to try in it. Seems like the perfect pan for even cooking and delicious browning.

I use to make beer can chicken all the time on the BBQ, never the oven because it was a bit messy, seriously good, but messy. Since I started using the vertical roaster, I can now make it in the oven or on the BBQ and it comes out so good!! Due to the cast iron heating and distributing the heat continually, it comes out juicy and with a perfectly crispy skin. I put small potatoes under the chicken to roast in the juices!

Great way to roast a chicken
on May 13, 2020
Posted by: kammya108
If you've never roasted a chicken vertically, you are in for a treat because this is the best way to get the chicken skin crispy and the legs, that typically take longer to cook because of the dark meat, are closer to the heat source in the oven, so this also protects the delicate breast meat because it sits higher. The bowl at the bottom of the dish catches all the juices and you're able to make a gravy from that.
