can it hold a small chicken or roast?

The inner pot in which one places the chicken, roast or whatever is 7 " long by 4 1/2" wide. The chicken would have to be very small. I'm not even certain a cornish game hen would squeeze into it, but I think I will get one and try. The Model # on mine is 33111Y, not 33112Y!!

I would say no. It could possibly hold a 6 to 8 pound turkey breast, but not a full turkey. Just not enough space.

If your roaster is marked 0508-6 15 inch then it is the same one and it does not hold a 12lb. turkey. It holds only up to a 10 lb. whatever the description says.

You may possibly be able to fit a small chicken into the pan. The inside pan (from the bottom to the lower edge of the lip) measures 3" high and is 8 3/4" wide. The lid is domed, so you could probably physically fit a small chicken into it, BUT I doubt that you'll turn out with ROASTED chicken. I put a whole package of boneless skinless chicken breasts into mine, cover it and put it into my solar oven. It comes out nicely STEWED with lots of broth. Even if you left it uncovered in a conventional oven, I would expect it to wind up sitting in liquid. (The whole chicken will probably have more juice come out of it than just the breasts I use because the whole chicken has the skin and all the fat content.) If you really want a ROASTED chicken, I'd suggest using a larger pan.

It depends on the size, but this should be sturdy enough to hold a rib roast. Amazon also sells a non-adjustable rack that is a lot more robust that will pretty much hold any large heavy roast, turkey etc. So if you have any doubt about the size and weight I'd go to the hardier rack. We own both.

I'm not sure. I guess it depends on how large. It would hold an average sized chicken.

I used mine for a small turkey, I am sure it will be good for your roast, it is very sturdy and ajustable.

Hi Bonnie: Sorry, I'm not 100% sure. I know the 12 quart will hold a 7 lb turkey breast with no problem. I did make a 3 lb. rib eye roast and had lots of room left on each side. Hope this helps.

Jon, I honestly don't know but I would imagine it would hold quite a bit. This is not a small cooker...I love it. If you can picture a full size chicken in it there is still plenty of room...height wise. It measures 4" deep...excluding the lid. Hope this helps. Marcia

I don't believe that it could handle anything larger then an 8 to 10lb. turkey. But if you have a small turkey or a roasting chicken, then I do believe that it would fit. I hope this helps you.

Yes it will easily handle a 10 pound roast. It will handle up to a 15 pound turkey as well.

I haven't done it but it looks like a whole chicken would fit with room to spare but I'm not sure.

I think it would because, when I've cooked a turkey, the rack is definitely smaller than the bird.

Not a whole chicken, obviously, but if you're talking a cup of rice and a couple of chicken pieces, absolutely. It's a great size for cooking for 1-2 people.

Hi, If the chicken is on the smaller size, yes it would be big enough. A five pound - no- a 3-4 would fit ok. I believe, although I have not used it for a chicken yet.

Probably, for small-medium sized dogs, at least. I know it will hold more than a cup of dry food but I've never tested to see just how much more.

If it is a small chicken. I use the rotisserie for chicken and it is AWESOME!
