For roasting turkey or chicken, do they come out brown as pictured in their ad, like oven roasted ?

Not if you leave the lid on, but that could depend if you brown sauce in your basting. Our last bird over cooked if you follow their instructions of preheat and cooking time and the last hour.

Comes out like fried turkey and the meat falls off the bone. It was famtastic and my family is already asking for more.

I have noticed browning at the bottom of mine, as well, although I have had it for several months now and use it regularly. I first noticed it after food I was making still smelled like the broccoli and I wasn't making broccoli. I checked the reservoir and noticed burnt-looking brownish residue. I tried to clean it using a bottle brush with the sponge-tip; it helped but did not get it all off. I have watched very carefully and have not noticed any impact on the food (no discoloration, flakes, or change in taste). I am VERY PLEASED with the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker!!

I think so. I roast them in a pan when I want them roasted. I've ordered them several times now and they are good.

I don't baste my turkey. I do however inject it with butter before cooking. It is very moist when sliced right out of the oven. This works with chicken also.

Yes, but it wouldn't be "roasted". It would be the same as putting it in a crockpot on low, unless you browned it first.

Not when I bought them at BB&B. I returned them be no matter how well you control the temp they get brown, burnt and scratched. Went back to tephlon.

Kind of. Has 2 settings white and brown. Does have delay timer, too. Great cooker for the money.

I believe it is. I roasted Turkey and Chicken....love the baking pan. It was a recommendation from The American Test Kitchen....

Most likely. I would encourage you to use parchment paper anytime you're dealing with anything very oily. (Also, it's not the best chicken roaster because of the shallow sides.) I have a little discoloration from grease baked on, but elbow grease, dish soap, and vinegar will take those off. You should ALWAYS avoid tomatoes and other highly-acidic foods with aluminum; it will discolor the pan and leave a bitter flavor in your food. Good luck!

Yes it will brown, maybe not as much as the oven but it doesn't come out looking pale and unappetizing, it browns enough.

i asked them the same question. They looked roasted when I opened them, but they are supposed to be raw

I have not used it on a turkey. A chicken does brown on the bottom EXCEPT for where the silicone was touching the chicken.

They are not nonstick. Air bakes are great cookie pan. Really hard to burn. Brown so evenly. Had my last par for 20 yrs

Hi...the best way I can answer that is by the size of the turkey's we cook. A typical Thanksgiving Turkey at our house is 20pounds. NOT 23lbs but 20/21 max. Something else for you to think about. The Breast of the Turkey will not get Brown and crispy. My Grandmother had a Roaster that is still being passed around amongst my siblings. Her Roaster Lid was very heavy. Of all the Roasters I have tried and believe me I have tried them all...they do not measure up to Grandma's from the 40's or 1950's. The lids are made of thin cheap tin and do not cook the turkey as shown on the picture. And fyi we are huge Turkey lovers AND have years of experience in Roasters or oven cooking Turkeys. Sorry. We took ours back for a full refund. Until I find a heavy metal lid....I wont purchase a Roaster. The only upside is this Roaster, like all of them frees up the oven space for holiday cooking. As much as I hate to admit, I would rather cook all my food the day before and heat everything up in the Mirco wave. Giving my Turkey all time it needs to brown on top. Give it a try if you want, but I was encourage a run thru before the big day.

O.K. first I brown the chicken in the roaster on a higher heat, it won't take long, then bring the temp. down and continue to cook as you would usually do. I haven't ever used the roaster with a chicken stuffed with a bread stuffing, so I'm not sure how that would do.

U probably just found a better price, like I did! aMAZON LETS U COMPARE PRICES, WHICH I LOVE. I bought mine 1yr ago. it's ok as a ''backup''. the turkey I did, came out fine, but didn't brown on top. anything above top 'lip' on pan doesn't brown. I also baked browies & a cake...not too bad, WATCH TIME...they baked faster. on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7. They should've made the top fit tighter, which is why when u bake items, WATCH 'EM!

Yes they can. I brown my meat on the stove and then put the pan in the oven for cooking.
