Is this suitable to use in a dutch oven and will hold a 3 or 4lb hunk of meat?

Unfortunately mine came without the requisite legs/feet. I image it would though. The plate itself seems to be very solid construction. Thick. Not flimsy at all.

Yes, but I would use Pam or other spray coating. Also lay carefully because it's not stable. If I had designed it, I would've used a fourth leg. For the money, it's worth buying.

Never tried it with meat but then again I have not been able to use it at all. The edges are razor sharp and it does not fit in an 8.5 inch pot

I use this to melt large quantities of lead into ingots for bullet casting. I use an 8qt cast iron dutch oven. Filled with 177lb of lead alloy, in the 18lb dutch oven for a total weight of 195lbs, this burner doesn't so much as wiggle. I bet I could stand on the full pot and it'd support it fine (and I'm not a small guy.) I'm very happy with it.

Rack is sturdy; non-stick is not great, can't answer about 2-3 # roast b/c I'm a vegetarian, but my guess is yes.

I don't know what the highest temp it can handle but since this type of Dutch oven is used over an open fire 500F should be no problem. In fact it may even improve the seasoning.

Two lbs would put it around 40% full. You could easily fit 3 but I'm not too sure they'd cook evenly....worth a shot.

It may hold a SMALL turkey but it will not cook. This oven is not hot enough to cook anything. I tried to use mine twice without success and just it away. It's a waste of money. My advice, DO NOT BUY.

In response to the 9-1/4 inch cake rack. I purchased it to use in my Fagor duo pressure cooker/canner. It fits perfectly and allows me to pressure can 4 quarts at a time or 6 or 7 pints whichever and fits my small families needs perfectly. I also can use it as a cooling rack for a cake, small pizza, cookies, a hot pan. I like that it is stainless steel and would highly recommend it. If I was into making layer cakes I would have purchased more.

I don't know I'm vegan however I think it would - u might check by comparing the volume and see if the size works for 3lb roast.

It depends on the specific size of the roast. Yes, the unit can handle three pounds of food but the roast has to have roughly the same aspect ratio as the oven. If, for example, the roast is mostly circular in aspect ratio (like a ham), it either will not allow circulation around its edges or it'll stick above the water level or both. There is no question that a mostly 'tubular' shaped 3 lb roast will work.

I believe it is oven safe to 450. I don't think I would go that high. Should work well as a Dutch oven. I love it. very even cooking. Makes great chili.

Hi - This is lighter than a roasting pan and not as deep. I do not recommend using it to roast meats. Lasagna and casseroles would be fine. I hope this helps.

The stove is quite stable. No problem with pots and skillets. I've even used 4 gallon pots without problem, so a dutch oven should be fine.

It may, I am not for sure. I was very unhappy with the one I purchased as it caused black spots on my stove (it caused a lot of extra cleaning) and it collected slag inside that I had to shake out. I do not recommend this item. Checkout the 8" Heat Tamer/Burner Plate by Nordic Ware, they are awesome and they will handle your dutch oven. I have used my 7 qt enameled dutch over with no problem many times. I found that I need only turn my burner (electric) to #3 and the meal (after initial prep) turns out great.

I don't know the exact weight but it will hold a dutch oven full of food with no problems.

I think it is sturdy and stable enough to hold a nice, heavy dutch oven (especially if you place it on one of the lower shelves to increase stability). My plant is on the top shelf, and there is absolutely no wobble.

I use the 7 1/2 quart dutch oven for everything and I usually cook for 2 people. I live with my husband, and the dutch oven is great for making soups, stews, sauces, chili, spaghetti, and I even use it for stir-fry dishes. You can definitely fry chicken for four people in it. I like this size because I can make a full recipe of things like chili in it, and I usually have leftovers when it's just the two of us. For four people, we'll eat the whole thing!

The Lodge trivet/meat rack really does not fit in the large pan of this combo -- it sits a good half inch above the bottom. It fits the skillet just fine, though -- you could flip it over and use it that way. If you want to load up your roast with potatoes and veggies (not to mention gravy), I suggest you get the 5-quart Dutch oven -- the trivet fits perfectly.
