Is this clay pot large enough to roast whole chicken?

As another reply already pointed out, this roaster is large enough to roast a turkey, so it's an overkill for a chicken. I'd go with the Romertopf #140 for that ( see romertopfdirect [ dot ] com ). I also own a Romertopf #111, but that's a bit too small for cooking a chicken in my opinion--especially if you want to addveggies and some potatoes.Also remember that these clay pots won't be made in Mexico any longer. The new pots wil comefrom Germany and will have a glazed bottom . See fantes [ dot ] com for more info.

The 117 is large enough to roast a 16 pound turkey, so the answer is yes but probably an overkill if you will only be roasting 1 chicken. For single chickens I'd recommend the 111 Romertopf, it's smaller and easier to handle. I have both of them and love them.The best chicken and turkey I've ever had.

this pot is large enough to roast a 15-16 lb. turkey; so, yes it should be large enough for even the largest chicken you can buy. I've roasted 3 smaller chickens at one time in this pot. for only one chicken, i use a smaller version. the 117 i use mainly for turkeys, and it makes great turkeys.

As the other customers have stated, YES you can do whole chickens in it. I'd go for the larger clay pot as it can be used for everything . . .I suggest you do not limit it's use. I use mine to roast veggies and make large batched of bread pudding for potlucks. Enjoy and Use it!

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).

Not much of a chicken strangler myself, but yes, I would say so. It's quite broad, so provided that your chicken doesn't attempt to stand up in the pot, I'm reasonably confident that it would work fine, with plenty of veggies. (I am assuming that you're talking about the 8 quart pot.)

If it was a Costco chicken (on steroids) no it would not be big enough. If you are doing 2 standard size chicken breasts it would be just fine. This pan is 1/2 the size of a "normal" full size oven roasting pan. It is great for one or two steaks or one or two other types of meat or chicken for two people. It is not the pan you would use for a family of 3 or 4 or more.

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.

My experience with preparing chicken in my clay pot is that I allow the full baking time with the top on, and then remove the top and continue baking for five to eight minutes to allow the skin to brown slightly and turn crispy. I don't prepare meat very often, but do use approximately the same baking time after removing the top.

For A roast any portion of meat should not extend above the 2/3 full mark. For a whole chicken is the same and both should be pressured in 6-quart or 8-quart pressure cooker.

The large baking pan is 8" x 13" so probably would fit a large chicken - about 6 lbs. or a large turkey breast. Hope this helps.

I haven't used it yet but this pot is huge. It will take a bit to heat contents up in it but I would say yes, it should do the trick

I do not believe you can 'roast' in the multi cooker. I have browned and then cooked a whole chicken but I would not say it was 'roasted' - the skin did not get crispy on the outside as it would in a regular oven. However, the meat was well cooked and stayed moist.

Yes it can fit a pot roast, but not a huge pot roast. I cook chili for my family of four in this and we have a lot left over. This is a great crockpot. It cooks evenly and cleans easily. It's the perfect size for everyday cooking.

No. But that allows for the moisture from the clay pot to be absorbed into the food. You need to soak the cooker in cold water for at least 20 minutes prior to putting food into it.

With out taking two measuring it, I can place a whole large chicken in it. It's larger than any cooking pan I have

I would say no. Medium turkey to me is 12-15#s. Largest pan with sides is an 11x13 cake pan. You would want a true roasting pan. That said, I've had this set for 7 months and the non stick coating is peeling off.

yes...it is quite large, but for a family of 4 it works great. I make most of my bean dishes in the pot.

America's Test Kitchen has a recipe for "roasting" a whole chicken in a crockpot. Still, as NuJoi said, the skin won't be crispy. This unit (the four-quart) will saute, steam, or slow-cook. I'm actually going to cook New York Strip in mine tomorrow. Never done that before, but I'm hoping it will come out as tender as other meats I've cooked in this unit.

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.
