After two attempts cooking with the Roaster Oven, I must say I need more training. It cooks alot hotter then a conventional oven. Practice before you use it. I only have cooked meats. The first turkey blew up, the second was nicely done altho not as brown. The third was a ham which I over cooked. The oven is only useful for large amounts. It is hard to store. It cleans up nicely. The directions could be better.
