Can the base be used on a burner (to make gravy after the turkey is out)?

Yes, the base can be used on a burner to made gravy after removing the turkey. This roaster is constructed from heavy duty stainless steel and comes with a drip rack that can be angled. I bought this roaster for my Mom because I already have one and she loved it. Cooking with it on a burner is similar to using stainless steel pans. The only word of caution is that the handles and sides will get hot while the pan is heated on a top burner.

It has just the slightest indentation at the edge but yes you can put it on the stovetop to make gravy, there are several other answers/people where they have used this pan to roast in even though it is listed as a "lasagna pan." I have a ceramic cooktop and it's flat as a pancake and does not touch the pan bottom. If it works on mine it will work on a gas/propane or electric coil.

Can use it to make gumbo or a small seafood boil, for crawfish, crab or large seafood boil you can use the burner but would need the larger pot.

Hi Scott, Yes you can,but with any open heat source just don't leave it unattended for a long period of time. We love ours very much just the other day I did a roast,potatoes and buns in mine.if you didn't know they make a top rack that's a must have to layer foods.PS we burned a hole in a deck with the weber smoker once,,,Lordy be so I get the question...lolHappy cookin!

You would need to lift the turkey and manually turn it to allow even cooking. The cooking oil does not cover even a 12 pound bird so the top would not be cooked and the bottom would be over cooked. While it says indoor, unless you want your house to smell like grease, take it to a porch or garage.

Just my opinion. I would not attempt it. It says in the description "fry" but it lacks a temp shut off (at least my model does) that would prevent overheating the oil. The "fry" basket and pot are shallow, about 1/4 the size needed for a turkey. If you look at a decent turkey fryer, there seems to be more guarding around the burner and the hose to the propane tank appears longer. Nope, not me. Maybe shrimp, fish or fries, but not a turkey. Be safe. Please, buy a recent unit with updated safety features that is designed for frying a turkey. Good luck. BTW, this is a heck of a nice GRILL. Just my opinion. I would not attempt it.

For things like deglazing the roasting pan to make gravy for a short period of time, yes. I wouldn't use it to cook things in, however. Note that I use a gas stove - harder to do this with electric.

Hello Gabriel, I called the company and they said it can definitely be used on a gas or electric burner on a stove top. Most people use it that way to make gravy after roasting something in the oven. Also, it can be used as a smoker in the oven. I am using it on the stove top as a smoker, like the Camerons smoker. I smoke for 20 minutes on top then put this in the oven.

I would place it directly on the oven rack, but never directly on a burner. Pyrex makes great baking dish, you should be very pleased with its performance.

Yes you can but it won't reach the temps that is needed for pizzas. We have ours on the 2 burner camp chef. About $125.00 from Amazon

Yes. We have made gravy in ours a few times. Easy does it on the heat! Don't need too much.

No, I use it mainly for frying but I assume that you could if you set the temp, put the lid on and monitor the roast. check the booklet that came with it

Yes, and yes! I have used it on the stove top to make gravy as well! Very versatile pan in a perfect size and like ALL Cuisinart, it cleans in beautifully if you let it soak a little while in the sink with some hot soapy water - no scrubbing/SOS needed! And unlike Rosemarie's comment, YOU DON'T NEED A SPECIAL PAN TO MAKE GRAVY......I frequently make beer can chicken in my Cuisinart fry pan, take out of the oven and make the gravy in the same fry pan on the stove top. You can do this as well with this roaster!

if you can fit the bird in the roaster, you can cook it.... I cooked a 19 pounder last Thanksgiving, with the lid on, with no problem

No. The standard grate has an opening by each handle to add coals. I bought the hinged grate at my local hardware store for around $15. It comes in handy for adding coals when you grill your Thanksgiving and Christmas Turkey. See weber.com for great instructions on how to grill a turkey. I also put a thermometer through the lid which is very helpful.

I do lot's of chilli on the stove top and since the burners are round, I went w/ the round base model. If you're going to do casserole in the oven, perhaps a oval model would work well.

Yes you can! I use one on one side and one of the grates on the other and it works out great for the way we cook. The only way I would want the double size unit is if i were going to cook something that would have to go all the way across.
