Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Norpro's vertical poultry roaster is designed to allow fats to drip off your chicken or other poultry as it cooks, leaving only juicy, flavorful, lower-fat meat. The deep drip tray collects the fat so that it doesn't coat your oven, although putting a baking sheet under the roaster is advisable for larger birds. The vertical roaster promotes even cooking, since all sides are exposed to the oven's heat. This configuration also makes the skin exceptionally crispy, a feature which will be lost on those who discard the skin for health reasons The drip tray and rack are both made of stainless steel, which conducts heat quickly and evenly. --Julija Gelazis

5.0 out of 5 stars Best chicken roaster on the planet, November 4, 2006

This review is from: Norpro Stainless Steel Vertical Poultry Roaster (Kitchen)

I use two of these regularly and have given a number of them as gifts to people I really like.

Most whole chickens in the market are FAT, and this drains the fat off the vertical chicken very effectively. Also, all the juices are retained in the dripping pan. When the chicken is nice and crisp, we enjoy it but we put the dripping pan into the fridge. In the morning, we skim off and discard the hardened fat and freeze the nonfat drippings in a baggie to flavor future chicken dishes.

I've used the vertical roasters that are painted black, but the black paint eventually puffs and peels. This unit's stainless steel is durable, hygienic, and easy to wash.

This roasting stand is the first perfect method of roasting chicken. The fat drips off the chicken. The flavor will remain in the meat. This particuliar standing roasting pan is much easier to clean than others I have had. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

This review is from: Norpro Stainless Steel Vertical Poultry Roaster (Kitchen)

This roaster is by far the best I have owned and is easy to clean vs. the other non stainless steel, one piece vertical roasters. I have owned 4 different types of vertical roasters over the last 20 years. The other roasters have many edges of the framework where dried and burnt poultry can get trapped and hard to clean. All the surfaces on this roaster are smooth and clean up with a scrub pad is fast and easy. A bonus is that a beer can can fit easily inside of this roaster, so you can experiment with beer or other liquid flavors for your bird.
