You just place your whole chicken, ham, or small turkey on this vertical roaster with your veggies or potatoes in the tray below. This clever cooking device actually allows the chicken to cook faster and more evenly than many other methods because it cooks consistently from the inside out. The resulting chicken is still juicy and the veggies are just delicious from cooking in the succulent juices of the meat. We’ve found it to be a wonderful and nutritious way to cook our small chickens and roasts. Romertopf, a well-known manufacturer of quality stoneware and clay bakers that is sold in over 40 countries around the world, makes this roaster.
