I use my roaster for everything. I received it for Christmas and have made anything from sloppy joe to swiss steak and a lot of things inbetween. I use it probably 4 out of 5 days a week. The clean up on this is amazing and nothing sticks to it. I have had no trouble with it heating. Only thing is the liner has lost it's shine and I would like to find a new one.This was the best small appliance that my family could have given me. I cook for one or six in it without grease splatters or burned on food even when making cheesy potatoes it just wipes clean. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This review is from: Rival R80 8-Quart Roaster Oven (Kitchen) I use this roaster several times a week and just love it. It is great for pot roasts, roast chicken, boneless turkey breast, ham and all the things you would normally cook in a roasting pan in a large oven. I love that this roaster doesn't heat up the kitchen like a large oven!It's also great as a larger-size slow cooker -- soups and stews have turned out amazingly well, and I never get out my regular crock pot anymore.

It was great! It was just like cooking in an oven. It was especially great for those times you would like to cook something later in the evening when you dont have time to wait on the crockpot! I have cooked meatloaf, soups, chicken, pork chops and so on in this roaster. Approx 2 months after i got this roaster it just stopped working. It would not heat up anymore! I am so upset about that! Maybe I just got a dudd!! |
