Can I use this roaster in order to make a roasted chicken without beer in the oven?

Absolutely! I put just about a half of a cup of water in the base so any drips don't burn. The water also steams the chicken, keeping it moist.

yes. the beer is to enhance moisture content ... try apple juice with a bit of liquid smoke in it.

It makes perfect roast chicken without the beer flavoring. Rub chicken with salt and pepper inside and out. You can also baste with melted butter or olive oil before roasting but it's not necessary. Roast chicken at 375 degrees for an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half. Nice touch is to put some lemon quarters and onion quarters into the chicken and hold them inside with the roaster brackets when chicken is placed vertical.

I just heat it on the Swissmar appliance. I guess you could just put it in the oven for a few minutes but I don't know why you'd need to.

The little booklet has recipes and there's recipes all over the web. It is pretty much the same length of time (either cut up or whole bird) as it takes in conventional oven perhaps a little less. My 2 dishes, chicken breasts and a 6 lb +/- roaster took the thighs a little more time, he was a huge roaster, the breasts came out very juicy and good. Working my way into more complicated dishes. Good luck.

I never roasted a chicken in it, but I can caution you that my Rosewill toaster oven lasted less thana year before the heating element went out. Until that happened, I used it primarily ton make toast, roast hot dogs, and bake cookies. I really liked it and wish it had lasted longer.

You should be able to. We got it for cooking a rack of lamb, which is not very balanced, and had no problems.

Yes, there is no need to use beer can unless you want to do so. Just remember that if the chicken is big, some juices will drop outside. Thank you.

Yes, but it wouldn't be "roasted". It would be the same as putting it in a crockpot on low, unless you browned it first.

Yes.I bake chicken with the rack all the time.That way when you bake with your own breading the breading doesn't get soggy baking in it's own grease.great for fish too.

In the book they give recipes for turkey, pork, chicken and fish. Since this is basically an electric roaster anything you can cook in the oven can go in here, space permitting.

I cook my chickens at 425 for the first 20 minutes so I know the Norpro can be used at that temperature. I also use a convection oven. Could you roast four birds? I'm not sure four birds would fit in a regular sized house oven. Two for sure would fit, maybe three birds.

No. This is more a Perdue oven stuffer Chicken size although I have used it for roast meats with good results

Absolutely. I've used it to blend hot gravy straight from the oven roaster. cooked veggies and all.

I believe so but I never got the chance to use the roaster... plastic handle was broken on two of them that I rec'd in the mail so I returned both and purchased a different roaster at the store.

Yes, you can. I have not yet tested it myself, but the instructions on the box say that it may be used in an oven or under the broiler up to 500F.

I have had a great deal of success roasting meats and vegetables in this oven. Recently, I marinated and cooked some pork spare ribs. I used a beer and crushed pineapple marinade with garlic, black pepper and fish sauce, and cooked them in convection mode at 200 degrees for 5 hours. I have also cooked beef using similar "low and slow" methods. Chicken legs, marinated in wine vinegar, yellow mustard, garlic and black pepper, roasted at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes yields tender, juicy meat and crisp skin. Roasting vegetables is also very easy, and can yield some tasty sides. I have had a great deal of success roasting meats and vegetables in this oven.

We don't make beer butt chicken. The grill would probably work if you removed the warming rack.

I doubt it, but there is no need. I cook chickens all the time on it by splitting the back and butterflying it. Much better since the breast meat cooks slower.
