can this 4 q. fit a 3-4 lb. roast or chick ?

I've cooked whole chickens, beef and pork roasts in the pressure cooker all weighing over 3 lbs. Just make sure it doesn't fill the pan more than 2/3 full to allow it to steam. I recently cooked a turkey breast weighing over 5 lbs., however I did have to remove the backbone before I could fit it in the pressure cooker. Since I slow cooked the turkey breast instead of pressure cooking it, I didn't have to worry about how full it was. I came out juicy and tender. Soo good!

I don't know I'm vegan however I think it would - u might check by comparing the volume and see if the size works for 3lb roast.

You should have no problem with the roast. However, since the foot print is round rather than oval you may have a problem with the chicken. If you cut up the chicken you will have no problem fitting it into the cooker.

Absolutely! It will take 2 small chickens or one larger one. We've done the Purdue oven stuffer roasters and they come out great!

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

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.

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.

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.

uncertain. I use it for heating milk (2 Qt). I think it depends on how the chicken is cut. If not cut it might be a little shallow. This is more round and flattish, not a typical roaster shape.

You would be pushing it just a bit. I believe you may have to get an extra rack. It comes with 3. Four full size ribs won't fit on one rack. But maybe two briskets can fit on one rack? Ultimately it will work. Just may need the extra rack!

it would be a tight fit, depends on how big the chicken parts are. A smaller bird, yes. I wanted a rack that was as large as a standard cookie sheet, and this one is about 2 inches short and a tad bit too narrow. I don't know if anyone even makes a rack that size.

The rack is pretty beefy, much more so than I expected when I ordered it. You might have a problem with a 25 pound turkey, but otherwise it should be fine. For what it's worth, I have only used it for beef roasts, though.

Probably not; our 4 year old is 27 lbs , quite short and she wore it for her 4th bday party. She is about the size of a 3 yr old. We loved it! Extremely well built, the bottom can be removed and the price was right!

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.

Haven't roasted chicken yet, but that's why I bought it. I called all clad, but they couldn't give me an answer about the thickness of the pan. I took it out, it's just as heavy bottomed as my other huge all clad roaster, so I'll jet you know! It's a good size for a single chicken or a turkey breast, it a 3-4 standing rib. The only thing different is the handles come out from the pan, not up. Let me know your result!

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.

Shawn, you should have no problem with this rack. According to the Big Green Egg website, your cooking surface is 18.25" in diameter which is more than sufficient for this rib rack. That same website notes you can cook a 20 lb turkey in your BGE. If a 20 lb bird will fit, then this modest sized rack should do just fine. Slainte!

I would say yes. Of course depending on the size of your roast. I prepared turkey breast an then a 3 lb pork tenderloin. Definitely takes strength to lift from thru oven.

This roaster is Big...although the length & width are the same as my biggest roasting pan, it's much deeper, so I can say that a 20-23 lb Turkey will fit nicely in the 18 qt. roaster.
