Amazon.com Product Description
With its large 22-quart capacity, this roaster oven offers an energy-efficient alternative to the full-size oven. Or, use it simply for extra cooking space during the busy holiday season. Just like a traditional oven, the versatile appliance works great for roasting a whole turkey, baking a casserole, or cooking up a batch of soup or stew--it can even be used to steam, slow-cook, or keep foods warm at a buffet table. The roaster oven provides a simple control knob with adjustable heat up to 450 degrees F. It also comes equipped with a lid that helps keep in heat and moisture, a removable insert pan, a lift-out wire rack for low-fat roasting, and cool-touch side handles for safe transport. Not sure where to start? Hamilton Beach throws in a user manual with recipes for meatballs, chili, roasted turkey, cheesecake, and much more. Beautifully housed in stainless-steel, the roaster oven measures approximately 18 by 25-2/7 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Just purchased, so far I LOVE IT . . .
I just bought the HB 22-Quart Roasting Oven and used it for the first time last night.

I have food allergies and intolerances (primarily wheat, gluten) and needed an oven I could dedicate to cooking gluten-free foods.

I roasted a chicken, and it was succulent and flavorful -- really, really, REALLY good. I prefer lean mean, and the white meat was particularly moist and delicious. Since I have never used the oven, I used a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken was cooked perfectly -- very easy.

You can also bake in the roaster oven (cakes, cookies, etc.). I am looking forward to trying it.

What I love about this item is that you never put the food directly on cooking surface. Instead, you use your own cook and bake ware, which makes the oven MUCH easier to clean. The inside cook service is removable, and it also has a rack.

I am so happy that I purchased the 22-quart instead of a smaller unit. This one is large enough to roast a turkey and also easily holds large casserole dishes, etc.

There is an instruction booklet inside that gives instructions on how to order an insert to turn the unit into a three-sectioned buffet server.

There are only a couple recipes included in the instruction booklet, but because you can use the roaster oven to make the same things you'd roast or bake in an oven, separate recipes aren't really necessary (as they would be for a Crock Pot, for example).

Recipes included are:

Party meatballs

Chili

Quick Roast Turkey

Turkey Browning Sauce (this oven will not brown poultry unless you use the sauce, which is easily made with butter or margarine, browning sauce such as Kitchen Bouquet, and paprika).

Baked potatoes (can bake up to 10 pounds)

The Perfect Cheesecake

Baked eggs

As time goes forward, I'll add more to the review as I try other recipes. So far, I am extremely pleased with my purchase and very excited to use it.

An inexpensive way to get more out of your kitchen
My wife and I have been inhibited from having large groups for dinner, basically due to the oven in our kitchen. It is built into a cabinet and is smaller than most conventional ovens. This leaves us with very little ability to cook a large item, such as a turkey, along with all the other things that need to be in the oven. The Hamilton Beach Roaster has helped solve this problem. We are now able to cook the turkey in the roaster, while using our oven for all other baking. Also, the turkey comes out more moist and jucier than when baked in a conventional oven. At one dinner, we had a problem just prior to serving dinner, and didn't get to take the turkey out at the time we planned (we got it about 1/2 hour late). When we got to it, the turkey meat was falling off of the bone, and was still delicious. I would recommend this to anyone. We recently cooked a 21.5 lb turkey with no problem.

Turkey good but did not brown
We bought the roaster to use for our family gatherings. i used it for the first time at thanksgiving. it took almost 1 1/2 hours longer to cook than stated in the instructions and also the turkey did not brown. i went from being so excited to get a roaster to being disappointed on thanksgiving when i had a house of 25 people and dinner was 1 1/2 hour late.
