This roaster allows you to prepare moist roasted turkeys, chickens and ham and it's easy to use. Like a large crock pot with a rack. The lid seals in the moisture and you won't dry out the bird in your oven. It's a bit large so you'll have to store it away somewhere between large holiday feasts (unless you are like my mom with a budget and five mouths to feed, so she would cook turkey any old time it went on sale, and use it for leftovers, pot pies, sandwiches and of course Sunday dinner. Pea soup out of the carcass. Nothing wasted.)
A long-gone friend of ours recommended this kind of roaster for turkey. While another method (separating out the meat and "spatchcocking" the breast will cook very quickly in the oven and give good even cooking, still, this roaster gives the most moist type of turkey. I recommend a probe thermometer. Some turkeys can be bony (ours this year was surely a tom, had huge bones and was done way before we planned) -- those can cook unreasonably quickly and surprise you with a very over-done bird. The probe will alert you when the bird has reached the proper temperature and then you can turn off the roaster and rest it for a half hour before carving. Another plus of this method is you get plenty of great broth at the bottom because it doesn't evaporate off. Gravy is a matter of straining, defatting if you want, and thickening. I use potato flour but a roux or beurre manie or cornstarch works as well.
If cleanup is annoying (this has a coating for simple washing out) you can always line the roaster with those special bags.
Some typical questions: will you get a mahogany-brown, crisp skin on the bird? No. You will see some browning on top and sides, but this is a moist roaster and the constant dry heat needed to glaze and crisp skin won't happen. This doesn't bother me--I want moist turkey and I always carve in the kitchen before serving; the showing carving at a table takes a lot of skill and is messy, if you ask me. Easier to remove the breast meat, the legs and wings and then cut across the grain and lay out the turkey on a heated platter and serve people what cuts they wish. And after dinner, the turkey is ready to be portioned out for the gift of leftovers to take home--or to pack away for turkey pot pie, turkey sandwiches and soups. Something you don't want to be doing after a big feast.
But if you want a big showy roast of an entire bird on the table, this is not for you.

Made turkey a breeze!
I purchased this roaster oven with the intent of using it on Thanksgiving. It will free up my oven for other things that day. I gave it a test run today using a 15 lb. turkey. It came out perfect in about 80-90 minutes. The skin wasn't quite as crispy as a conventional oven, but looked (see picture) and tasted great nonetheless.Before using the roaster I gave it a wash (the removable tub & lid, not the appliance) and ran it at 450f for about an hour to burn off any factory smell/oils. Then I washed again before use.I prepared my turkey by thawing completely in fridge, patting dry, seasoned with olive oil and spices, then put it in preheated roaster at 450f for the first 30 minutes, then reduced to 325f until it was done. I used a ThermoPro TP-17 dual probe meat thermometer (from Amazon) and did not open roaster lid until I reached the desired temp (one probe in breast, one in thigh). I did not add liquid to the roaster, just one cut up onion and threw in the neck and organs that come with the turkey. I made gravy from the drippings. Hopefully this appliance is as reliable as it was easy to use.
