I bought this for my grandson for Christmas -- so I have no idea how to use it. Sorry. Wish I could help you out.

The small one does not roast my sister has the larger one and it has a roast component

Not sure that you can since roasting is a dry heat method where the heat in the oven surrounds the food. With the exception of the sauté function, cooking in this is about moisture with little evaporation. If you turned the unit on sauté and tried to roast something, it would be like tring to roast something on a pot on the stovetop -- that method isn't roasting.

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.

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.

you should be able to, but if you have the char-broil then I think the roast might come out better in there vs the oven

This is a stovetop smoker. It is designed to take heat from the bottom. If you want to smoke a port roast in the oven then I suspect you could use ordinary woodchips soaked in water for 30 minutes, wrapped in heavy aluminum foil, and place on the bottom of the oven near the source of heat.

rub a little onto your steak before griling. yum yum Works well with roast beef also.

I am roasting a 7.5 chicken on the vertical roaster as I write this. I am not sure the roaster would work with a bird much larger due to both the cavity size of the bird and the weight of the breasts causing an imbalance. I placed my chicken on the vertical roaster and put the vertical roaster in the bottom of another roasting pan and covered it with a foil tent in order to keep my oven clean. (I will remove the foil later to brown the bird.) I removed all but one oven rack and placed that rack on the next-to-lowest rack setting. From the bottom of the oven to the top of the foil tent is 16 inches. There is still plenty of room for air circulation above and below the chicken. Hope this helps.

Hmmm....good question...possibly. I don't have this roaster anymore but here's what I think - Put some water in the roaster, put the bread dough in a container that will fit in the roaster and turn it on low, keep an eye on the temp and turn off when the temp comes up some. With the lid on it should retain heat for awhile and then if necessary give it a few more quick heating sessions on low. I think it might work quite well for dough rising if you experiment a bit. I used to have that problem in the winter too - the house ran cool, and I didn't have a gas stove where you could let the pilot light keep it gently warmed in the oven. If that is your situation too this might just be the answer. Hmmm....good question...possibly.

I don't know. You might want to contact the manuacturer. I only use it to roast turkey.

I used a large roaster, similar to a crock pot, but is more oval. A roaster can be set to a specific temperature and 180 degress F worked for me. I lined the bottom with a towel so that the stones did not scratch the roaster. I pull them out with a slotted spoon, if the stones are too hot to touch after removing from the water, they are too hot for anyone else. I put a thin linen towel between the body and the stone or just let them cool a little.

I do - a caveat though: I had to mod the thermostat to get higher temps for darker roasts in a reasonable time. It's not hard to do.I've roasted with this model for 6-8 months, actually I just did about 1/2 lb through mine in several (4?) batches this evening I encourage everyone to try. It isn't hard at all. Just watch and listen. Sweetmarias.com has a guide that is helpfull.Doesn't make very much in each roast session but that means you usually have coffee at most 2 days old. I glued a piece of nylon screen across the intakes on the bottom to stop the chaff from sucking through and burning.Some people make a chaff catcher, but I just roast in the garage and sweep it up.Drew - I do - a caveat though: I had to mod the thermostat to get higher temps for darker roasts in a reasonable time.

Hi Leo, I haven't used my moka with it yet, but I would guess that 12-13 (untamped) would be about right for most roasts.

Add enough beef stock/broth to cover 1/3 of the roast you are cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check it to the get the weight and time right.

You can roast anything that will fit in the unit. That said, lamb shanks are not that big, 1-11/2 lbs, and can't say I've ever seen a deboned lamb shank. You'd have to use one of the cages that comes with the unit to secure the meat. My preferred method of cooking shanks is either smoking low and slow or braising.

I replaced my George Foreman roaster with the Ninja 3 in one Roaster. Sorry I can't help you, good luck!!

No, you can't. You can only select one of the four functions (rotisserie, bake, convection, broil) at a time.

You can roast or bake in the oven. The smoking needs to happen on the stove top.

Hi! Each box makes two pots of soup. One bag per two gallons of water. Add a beef bone and beef or chicken to pot. Broil an onion and some ginger..add to pot. Boil..remembering to skim the foam from the top. Place your bag of spice into the pot..put on medium heat..Cover and cook until meat is tender. You can add salt sugar and fish sauce and noodles if you want. This is one of the better spice packets I think. Good Luck! P.s. Sorry, I meant 1 gallon of water per pack..We always make double in a big pot!
