Initially, I was a bit apprehensive about buying it - after all I have a stove with an oven, how would this make my life better?Here's how - it has an adjustable temperature control on the outside, it's easy to clean up after, it takes up very little room and most important in hot humid places such as Baltimore, it doesn't heat up your kitchen in the summer. So you can roast a chicken for chicken sandwiches or even chicken Ceasar salad without heating up the whole house. You can roast your beef with some potatoes, carrots and celery. You can even make a family favorite, meatloaf, and the rack ensures the meatloaf isn't sitting in it's own fat.

Of course, I use this pan frequently - I used it Thanksgiving to roast the ham, freeing the oven for the turkey and the other fixings, for Christmas for the turkey breast and right now I have a whole...Read more 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful: By yellowjol (pa United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Rival RO220-C 20-Quart Roaster Oven (Kitchen) UPADATE - 7 YEARS AND STILL WORKING LIKE NEW!! NO PROBLEMS AT ALL - I RUBBED VEGETABLE OIL ON THE INSIDE AND THE SURFACE LOOKS LIKE NEW. STILL HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS ROASTER!!! I recently purchased this product to cook my thanksgiving turkey because my mother has been using an electric roaster for many years. I trust the Rival name because i have a Rival crock pot. My turkey turned out delicious in this roaster. It cooked in the right amount of time, it was convenient to have the lid rest on the side when checking the turkey and removing broth for my gravy and the clean up was amazing. The rack was also a plus - the turkey was so easy to remove from the roaster. I didnt decide to write a review until I read the previous one I just read about the person who bought them as gifts and the bad odor and the one that didnt work. As for the odor, if you read the instructions (which is the same for any roaster) during first use - it clearly states that there will be an odor during FIRST...Read more 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By penandra (Livermore, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Rival RO220-C 20-Quart Roaster Oven (Kitchen) Last year one of my colleagues brought in his roaster oven for us to use for our annual Thanksgiving potluck . . . . the turkey turned out moist and delicious. He also talked about all of the other ways he uses it for other than turkey . . . I put this on my wish list and love my Rival Roaster Oven! The turkey turns out wonderful . . . . . this year's wish list includes the buffet server inserts so that once the turkey is done, we can use the roaster to keep the other foods warm!Regarding the bad review, the consumer says that the roaster that smelled had been used . . . . the fact that there were problems with it don't seem to be the fault of the manufacturer . . . . |
