What is the largest size roast this unit will accommodate?

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.

It measures 12.0 x 18.5 x 3.37, according to Walmart http://www.walmart.com/ip/Granite-Ware-Rectangular-Open-Roaster/17325727

The rack is about 1" high and 12" long, so take that into account if you use the rack for roasting.

I don't know because I didn't use the item. There was a hole and scratches on the inside of the roaster. So, I returned it. Sorry I couldn't help.

This roaster is probably too big for what you usually cook. If available, I would go down in size. This one is good for a medium sized turkey or for a large roast (or really large chicken).

Its big enough to cook a ten pound turkey or roast no sure of the size because I'm not home at the moment.

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.

Thank you Tracey.......11 x 11 1/2. I find I can only use this in my large roasting pan. It will not work in my small roaster.

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.

The interior diameter is 8.5 in wide and 3.5 in deep, it would be a very tight fit if at all. I would opt for slightly larger size. They make a series of oval shaped roasters that might better serve your needs. I hope this helps.

There is only my husband and myself. I have cooked smaller portions of stew in this. The cast iron maintains the temperature so you can have less product inside, and is holds a temperature without fear of burning. A five quart would probably suit you well but this is great if you ever want to make a big pot roast, entertain, or make extra to put aside. I guess the question is - why too large? A shortage of storage space would be my only reason to scale down.

It is large the dimensions are 13H x 14W x 11D. I will roast a 12lb turkey. It is not small. Our is an older one. They do have a new compact one which I had seen one time. It's Red in color. This is the appliace in our home! I never use the oven for roasting anymore. I used to hate chiken breat meat but it comes out so tender in this Ronco. You won' be disappointed. You have to purchase cook's twine to keep the chicken wing and drum sticks from flopping but worth it once you get the hang of it. The whole chicken has to be balanced in your rotissorie. Excellent product!

Hi! This roasting rack measures 11 3/4" at it's longest point and 8 1/2" at it's widest point. Not sure of the dimensions of the open roaster you've inquired about, so I hope this info helps!

I am not sure what limit you are referring to, weight or size. The size is given as about 20 inches long by about 13 wide, the cuisinart mentions it is a 16 inch roaster but it can take a larger. This is a robustly made pan so I think it would probably take a large bird. Feels very sturdy to me.

Just used mine for the first time. So, hope this answer is not too late. I cooked a 14 pound turkey in my 14 inch Calphalon roaster and it was a perfect fit. Would not go much bigger.
