Would a standing rib roast (beef) fit in this roaster? I usually cook a 5-6# roast.

Yes, this roaster would have plenty of room for a 5-6# roast. I have loaded it with a 4# deer roast and tons of vegetables and there was lots of room to spare. I've also cooked 2 racks of ribs and it was roomy enough. I love this thing.

there are two of us as well and we are finding the cooker to be an agreeable size for our needs. you can certainly cook a small to medium roast in it and we often use it to cook a pot of beans (saves so much time vs usual method of soaking overnight, etc)

Probably not. It is very good size, but I don't think you'd be happy with the results as if it fits, it would barely fit. Large roasts, ducks, chickens are a good fit.

I could only make a guess, but I think it would fit a normal size pot roast. As far as artichokes it should fit at least four. Hope this helps!

Absolutely I have cooked rump roasts, beef brisket and eight pound turkey breast in this slow cooker with vegetables. I think there is more room in this rhan my round slow cooker. Highly recommend. Enough room for 3 or 4 people I would say. Hope this helps.

The roaster is not tall enough to hold a turkey with the lid on. Dimensions of the inside is 13.75inches long by11.5 inches wide by 3inches deep(WITHOUT THE LID) with the lid the roaster is 5.5 inches tall. Also it comes with a roasting rack, which is 1 inch high If it you use it; it will take up about 1 inch of the height I mentioned.

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.

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!

There are only 2 of us also and I have made a 5 pound roast with some carrots and potatoes in it. If you have a larger roast I would cut it in half and sear all sides of both halves, then cook it. I just bought the stainless steel one, have used it several times and love it! It replaces the aluminum one which I had for probably 30 years. As for artichokes, it depends on the size. I usually cook mine in the microwave.

Yes, as long as it is not too tall of a roast. Check the items dimensions so you know what you are getting.

That would depend on the kind of roast and cut of meet. Even if the food extends past the length of the rack, it would be elevated in the pan. I guess you would have to determine the size of the pan you need to hold the meat or poultry.

Big enough.. If you need a bigger pot you're gonna have to build a fire.. I cook 5 lb pot roasts in mine and still have plenty of room for vegetables

I've never used it for a roast however, it probably would hold a 5 or 6 pound roast. You might have to cut the roast in half. It's deep and hold quite a lot.

Yes. A whole roaster fits in and that is the same size as a rotisserie chicken.

Hi Leo, I haven't used my moka with it yet, but I would guess that 12-13 (untamped) would be about right for most roasts.

Completely depends on the dimensions of the 8lb prime rib. Although that much beef would probably overflow the grease catch as that happens often.

I haven't cooked any ribs yet but I did cook to Boston Butt shoulder roast and it done a fine job. If I had to guess, you could probably get 10 lbs or more. This cooker cooks meat excellent. It is a great cooker and I know you will be satisfied.
