Hamilton Beach 32184 18-Quart Roaster Oven with Serving Lid and Buffet Pans, Black



Need a second oven?
Baking on holidays? If your oven isn't large enough for that turkey, the green bean casserole, and all of the other things you need to bake, this roaster can solve the problem. We used it for the first time on Thanksgiving and it solved the problem for us. It is easy to use, has more than enough room, is easy to clean and it works!In fact, it works so well, I have been using it instead of the oven--not just as an overflow appliance. I noticed on Amazon.com that it got higher reviews than some costlier alternatives I might have bought and am more than satisfied with this roaster.

Quit wishing for Mom's
Heating elements in the sides, not just the bottom. Got nice and hot. Inserts seem a little unstable, but haven't used them yet. Maybe they are better when they have some weight in them. Don't care much for the "serve through" lid, but can see where it could be useful. It's not Mom's 1950's Westinghouse, but I'm happy.

Good value and cooks well.
This oven is a good value. We needed to cook a ham and a turkey for Christmas dinner and have just one oven. The turkey was 19 lbs and the lid wouldn't quite seat on the cooker even though the turkey was within the weight parameters for this roaster. I had to weight the lid down to keep it shut. It took the same amount of time to cook as the oven and the turkey came out browned and beautiful. I do wish it was okay to use a brown in bag but it isn't recommended. I do recommend this roaster oven over the Oster I used to have. Also, the bonus buffet pans were great for serving with our large crowd!
