Hamilton Beach 28 lb 22-Quart Roaster Oven with Self-Basting Lid (Stainless Steel)

I own one for years. My daughter in law wanted one so I gifted her this order and she loves it. She uses it for her canning and cooking BIG batches of tomato sauce. She loves the size and functionality of this roaster.

Order was deliverd sooner than expected. The packaging was not that great the box was damaged but the product was fine. The whole unit is a lot lighter than the 30 year old roaster this one is replacing but seems be of a better quality of others in the box top stores. The two thing I miss on the new roaster is no light to tell me the roaster is heating and the arrow on the temperature select is really hard to see. So I got wife's finger nail polish and painted the arrow pink so it's easily visible. If this thing lasts half as long as my old roaster I'll be happy. So it works great for now. I just don't know for how long?

I received this roaster for Christmas. Opened it Christmas morning, washed it, and cooked the Christmas bird in it! We (D-I-L & I) were really glad I got it. We had several casseroles and desserts that we cooked in the regular oven. While this roaster was cooking up our 15 lb turducen with stuffing. When I read the instructions, I found out that you can also cook multiple items at a time in it. The instructions on how to do this seem easy and at some future time I will try it. This roaster worked as an extra "oven" and I would purchase it again.

Had a smaller version a long time ago. But these roasters are amazing when you're making holiday dinners. Frees up the oven for sides and desserts. Very straightforward operation. It's just a knob and it warms up quickly and is accurate (checked with an IR thermometer). Also great for large amounts of chili or other party foods. Make sure you wash everything with warm soapy water and rinse before first use. Anyone complaining of an odor on first few uses probably didn't wash everything. Cleanup is very easy. It's all metal and durable. The side walls are semi hollow so you don't want to bend them by pushing too hard but they are meant to be for heat distribution.

Con: Wish it had a temp light that goes off when internal temp reaches the set temp. Pro: I would give this oven 5 stars except for the light. Very portable, keep the original box. Retains heat very well. I only use it twice or three times a year for turkeys. I have used the oven outside in 20 degree weather. Cooks evenly. This is my second type of oven. Last one lasted 15 years.

I was able to have full use of my over for baking and warming while I cooked my turkey. Such a gift! A few things I learned: for a 20 pound turkey, I would probably turn it 180 halfway through or center it better. It was more browned on the left side than the right. Not a huge deal, just aesthetics. Also, I will plan for more time. I planned for 3.5 hours at 325 and it took 4.5 hours. Possibly an altitude thing as I am in Colorado. Overall a great product and I already know three people buying this after seeing how well it worked for us. I did see a newer model for less money at my local store so shop around.

Probably the best turkey I've ever made. Moist, looked beautiful and this roaster freed up the oven for casseroles. I've tried many ways to cook large turkeys and this is by far the best. Rubbed it with EVO and poultry seasoning, good amount of pepper and then, for color, smoked paprika. Came out perfect. Highly recommend. Only downside is no on light but that's only a personal preference. Good, basic roaster oven like our mom and grandma used.

I've had a roaster oven for 40 yrs. Have always loved using it, especially during the holidays. This year my 20 yr old roaster didn't turn on so it was time for a new one. After doing a little research, I saw that the Hamilton Beach Roasters were rated higher than some others. Was fast delivery and it came right when I really needed it. Being able to cook up a turkey in a faster time than when I cook it in the regular oven, it makes it easier to time my holiday dinners. Was packed very securely in the box. Nice easy features on this particular roaster. Just a simple temperature dial. I like that it has a removable pan so I can clean it more easily. I also like that it has a metal rack to place the food on. Makes it so much easier to grab the handles of the rack and lift the turkey, or other meats out and onto a cutting board. The only difference, with this roaster oven and the one I had for over 20 years, is that the lid has 2 very small vent holes on it. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad. Since they're so small and I usually cover my turkey with tin foil anyway, I don't think it'll make a difference with cooking times. I think roaster ovens should be an essential item in even kitchen. It's what my mom grew up using and she also used one for 60+ years when she cooked for us. It's something I will someday buy for my daughter.

Excelente producto y muy funcional para preparación de comidas

I was looking for something to free up my oven when I cook turkey dinners. I needed something big as we usually have family over and cook the biggest turkey we can find. works great. makes the top crusty same as the oven. I would recommend this little oven if you need to use your oven for other dishes like your candied yams or your pies. I'm so glad I finally bought one. Even though I only use it a couple times a year, it's well worth the purchase. I know I can cook anything else in it besides turkey, like a ham or a roast if I needed to!

Great extra oven. Holds a 20 pound turkey no problem. Excellent heat control.

Solo metes lo que vas a hornear, seleccionas la temperatura y controlas el tiempo, y queda todo listo sin tanto alboroto.

Bought this because we hosted Xmas dinner. The oven is always needed for other stuff so it was great to hace the turkey cooking in it's own Roaster Oven. Bigger than I thought it'd be and easily handled a 26lb bird and cooked it well. Easy to clean although watch out for sharp front edges of the removable insert. Overall, this roaster oven offers excellent performance and convenience for those looking to prepare large meals with ease. I probably won't need it again until the next big dinner we host but looking forward to find out what else it can cook.
