Can I use a large aluminum roaster instead granite wear?
1267072
Yes. As long as it fits inside. It won't absorb heat as effectively as the darker granite wear, but the hot air within the oven will eventually heat it up and get the job done. So it may take longer to start the cooking process, using aluminum.

I would say yes. The darker the bakeware the better but I have used glass. Just make sure you cover it with tin foil or the cover that comes with it. Also, measure your roaster and measure inside of oven (or shelf) to make sure it will fit. I use a smaller roaster pan that happens to be granite wear but I think you can use any kind as long as it fits on the shelf. However, you can remove the shelf and set the pan inside so measure that. I have baked chicken, brownies, lasagna, casseroles, apple pie and strawberry pies, banana bread, meatloaf, meatballs. The possibilities are endless. You will love it after you use it several times and experiment with times. Good luck.

You can use any kind of cookware that fits into your oven. Light colored or reflective cookware should be covered with a dark (preferably black) cloth to help them absorb heat. If your cooking vessel is too tall for the shelf, simply take the shelf out. Put a cake cooling rack on the bottom of the oven, then put your pot onto it. It's always best to cover the pot to contain the steam unless, of course, you're baking bread, pies, cakes or cookies. Experiment and enjoy your Sun Oven!

It seems to work best with darker cookware - I have used pyrex with no problems. Reflective shiny metals like aluminum might take a bit longer. The Sun Oven can be very forgiving!

I have a 6 quart. A 12 lb. turkey is too big I would suggest a 20 qt roaster.

So long as you sear your meat prior to placing it in the roaster it should work. Personally I use my crock pot for post roasts because the roaster is so large. Just remember you can't use cooking bags in the roaster either.

Well you would want your granite to be cut to fit whatever downdraft stove you get. If you get the range first they will just cut the granite to fit your range.

Part 314900 is for a large burner. 8-inch burner is the large burner so yes it can be used.

I returned the roaster as it was too short in length and the handle design made the roaster too wide from my oven. I left my measurements in my 2 * review of this roaster. Also note that it was not designed by more than 400F so using the pan on the stove top for au jus production was not a good idea.

I believe that you could, as the basin the burner fits inside is fillable, though you may like to check with mfr for any possible concerns about high heat retention or other feedback they may have, as I did not try this personally so can't speak to it from experience. Wish you well and an excellent 4th :)

Absolutely. This is an extremely well made, heavy duty rack. I bought a new roasting pan about a year ago. the rack that came with it was much lighter -- so I replaced it with this one. It's worked great!

Have a 30inch oven and it fits with a lot of room to spare it also roast very good on convection roast

Yes. I already had a roasting rack so I didn't need to buy one. It doesn't come with one.

This is a smaller roasting pan. I would probably look for something in the 16-17" x 13-14" range.

I suppose you could use lexel however I would consider looking for something that would be recommended for granite.

According to the manual on the web you can. Go to the link below. Scroll down to the 3 tabs Product Features. It states, "Premium die-cast aluminum cookware heats evenly and cooks directly on gas, electric or ceramic stovetops." Here is a link to the manual.http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/large-slow-cookers-6-quart-programmable-stovetop-slow-cooker-33567t.html

Sandy, It looks like answers for more than one size roaster are all showing up in one general Q&A; for Granite Ware. I have the 13-inch roaster which refers to the length including the handles, not the interior length. I can roast a smaller chicken in it and I use the Harold 11 3/4 x 8 1/2 oval rack BUT I had to bend it down the middle with pliers because it was slightly too wide to fit (I think the width of mine is 8 inches.) It was hard to bend and is not perfectly symmetrical but I like the slight V that formed in the rack. The bottom of the roaster has indentations to prevent a bird from sealing to the bottom if you want to cook without a rack, which I have also done. Hope this helps a little.

yes you can... what size are you looking for. i offer a 14 x 25+ inch granite. i have limited options above that size. they run about $100 for the largest ones unless you need a custom cut and i can use a special order item number for that. thanks; jt sorry all caps...

Yes you can, if you ordered the LP version there are instructions on pages 27-32 of the users manual on how to convert to NG. You need to remove the LP orifices on each burner this will leave the NG orifice. No other orifices are needed. Be careful not to remove the NG orifice along with the LP. You can purchase NG conversion kit from Swiss Grill that comes with the tools and flex gas line you need if you like.

I would not buy it unless you remove it when you use the oven. After using the oven twice it warped and will not last flat. Better off with a t-shaped over of aluminum
