Will this roast a large roasting chicken?

Your note is marked March 18th so my note now will most likely not help but it will hold up to a 11 pound chicken.

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

I haven't tried cooking a whole chicken in this crock yet, so can't speak to that size. However, I do cook roasts in it regularly. Three pounds, plus onion, potatoes and carrots is about all I can fit into it. If you're only cooking the meat, then I'd guess you could fit a 5 lb. roast. HTH

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.

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.

The largest thing I have put in it is a 5 or so lb. chicken. It probably could do it although it may look crammed in there at first they alsways do shrink. Also I would cook on med instead of low.

I cooked a 10lb roast already and will cook a 15lb turkey tomorrow. No problems

My opinion is a definite yes. I have used mine to cook an 8 lb pork shoulder, a 6 lb whole roasting chicken, LOTS of chili, veggie soup, etc. with both the pork shouDer and roasting chicken, I still had plenty of room left in the pot to allow for veggies and "flipping" room.A very roomy pan that I truly love--so glad I purchased it

I believe so! I have made whole large chickens with vegetables with plenty of room to spare. I love this machine - it does everything. It's definitely a second oven - you will love it. I have had the six quart, the twelve quart and the eighteen quart for over 20 years. LOVE THEM! I would say the six quart size makes a roomy "slow cooker." If you plan to make larger meals, the twelve quart is probably the way to go.

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.

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.

That would depend on the kind of roast and cut of meet. Even if the food extends past the length of the rack, it would be elevated in the pan. I guess you would have to determine the size of the pan you need to hold the meat or poultry.

I have only cooked beans in it but you should be able to cook a small roast. Not sure about a whole chicken - could be tight.

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.

A lot! Or depends on how hungry they are (: One point to remember is chilli has a high tomato content so you might want to toughen the seasoning up a bit first. I plan on waiting for a while to do that with mine. To give you an idea of capacity it will roast a couple of small whole chickens. I used it to roast 4 lbs of pork ribs and had plenty of room to spare.

Perhaps you can 'tent it' with heavy duty large aluminum foil. Actually that is the best way to roast turkey. Just fold the large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil in half, and gently place it over the top of the turkey...works great... Good luck!

It may depend on what size the entire chicken is - otherwise, my suggestion is to cut a whole chicken into pieces to fit into the pan! Good luck!
