Much Ado About Nothing?,

This review is from: Emeril Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Vertical Poultry Roaster (Kitchen)
This is a very well made pan. The surface is not as nicely finished as a Lodge product (number one in my book), it is manufactured in China. But the quality is decent and this pan will probably last forever. This in turn makes me wonder if I will regret this purchase. I've used it only once and to be truthful the "infusion" seemed to make no impact on the flavor of the chicken. Maybe I'm just at an age where most of my tastebuds are dead or perhaps I need to find some better recipes. For those who adore beer can chicken cooking this pan will probably be a big hit.
If you want to get a perfect finish on this pan rub it with a generous coat of shortening, warm it very slightly on the stovetop and then pop it into a 500 oven and turn the oven off. I always seal my cast iron just after baking homemade pizzas when the oven is super heated. Just don't put a cold pan into a hot oven. The surface will be glossy and perfect. You better have a good exhaust fan though, as the fumes are not too pleasant.

You'll never bake chicken any other way again,

This review is from: Emeril Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Vertical Poultry Roaster (Kitchen)
I have been cooking two chickens at a time in a similar pan for about 5 years now. I can roast two chickens @ 350 degrees in exactly 75 minutes every single time. They're perfect and mouthwatering. My pans are now rusting and will soon need to be replaced (my husband put them in the dishwasher, of all things). I searched the web for hours and discovered this model. It includes the well (for wine, beer, etc.) that is also a "mounting post" for the chicken, as well as a place to pour water to catch the grease and increase humidity in the oven (as recommended for my pans). Many poultry roasters do not have both features. Since I have successfully roasted at least 50 or more chickens with both of these features in the past 5 years, I'm sticking with this formula and will purchase two of these pans so I can continue to cook two whole chickens at a time in my over. It's going to be $120 to replace them, so I'm waiting until replacing them is an absolute must. (In addition to putting wine or beer in the well, don't forget to rub down the inside and outside of each chicken with something similar to McCormick's Grill Mates' Zesty Herb Marinade or Garlic Herb & Wine Marinade--two of our favorite flavors. When you pull your chicken from the oven, you'll have one as tasty as Costco's rotisserie chickens. I stopped buying them, because mine were turning out just as good or better!)

Great Pan,

I love this pan! It makes the chicken brown nicely all the way around - no soggy white spots on the back - plus it gives the meat moisture you cannot achieve with just baking as usual. Being cast iron, it will last a lifetime (assuming you don't put it in the dishwasher or let it rust) and can be used on the grill as well as in the oven, under the broiler, and on the stove-top (not that I plan to do the broiler or stove-top.) The veges in the ring around the chicken are super delicious with the chicken drippings on them (probably not too healthy though.) I was surprised to see that the well in the middle was not as deep as the cone. The bottom of the well is only about 1/2 way down the cone. However, it is certainly deep enough to hold all the liquid you need to roast the chicken and not evaporate.
For a specialty pan, it was fairly expensive, but considering the durability and what it does to roast chicken (and veges) I'd say it is well worth every penny. You'll certianly never have to buy another one. If you can swing the purchase price, I would recommend you buy two, so you can roast two chickens at once. (Debone one and put it in the freezer for future eating in salads or soups.) If you follow the instructions for care, you'll be happy with the pre-seasoning of the pan.
