Does the meat/chicken get brown...or more "steamed looking?

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.

I have had no problems, I just use the moist setting and it works great. I have done ground meat without any trouble. I have also done chickenafter it has been rinsed and drained.

I personally have not had a problem with your issue, however be aware that your meats and or fats should be as close to slightly frozen as possible if not everything will be mushy!

I use it every day and am very pleased with it. I don't eat meat so don't know about chicken. A little butter dripped on one of the heating elements from a piece of toast and made a little black mark on it. most everything falls on the bottom and I just take it out and wipe it off or wash it off and put it back in oven. Still looks new.

It turns a lttile brown yes. If it is a bright color. Take them immediately it the vet. If you are questioning it at all you should take them to the vet with a sample.

Yes, I have browned chicken on the cooktop and then put it in a 350 oven to finish. Not sure if I would use a temp higher than 400, but general roasting is fine.

I find the roaster does not brown as well as an oven, but if you crank up the temp for the last 20 minutes of so of the cooking time you will get most of the browning you are looking for. One caution, if you have stuffing in the roaster with the chicken, the higher heat will dry your stuffing and you will get some sticking for sure. I use my roaster mostly for things I want to simmer for hours, chili, marinara, bar-b-que pork, Brunswick stew, etc. or for dishes I'm going to take elsewhere, very portable and easy to reheat. It also cooks a great ham. Hope this helps.

No. It has sauté , brown, beans, soup ,meat/stew, veggies/steam. It's really awesome!

If the weight of the meat is uneven this can happen. Make sure it's centered in the middle of the spit. Once it works it's heaven!! We just did a prime rib in there and it was delish. Good luck with the chicken!

It does and doesn't it browns normally except where it immediately contacts the silicone, the area touching the silicone browns, but more slowly. If you cook a turkey for a normal time it will be evened out, but with a smaller chicken you will see an impression.

Yes it will brown, maybe not as much as the oven but it doesn't come out looking pale and unappetizing, it browns enough.

The steam gets very hot, so you can probably cook chicken in it. I would just check that it's cooked through before blending. I personally cooked the chicken in a pan with a little olive oil, then blended it with steamed sweet potatoes and apples.

Yes, the system makes noise when cooking.............It does a good job, we are pleased with the outcome of the chicken.But make no mistake, when it is running you will definitely know it is on.

The skin on my bird was crispy. I've never had a problem with roasting a turkey and not having crispy skin. I use the meat rack and check it periodically.

I don't know & haven't looked into it. The temperature reported seems very consistent with what I would expect from the appearance of the meat or poultry.

I would try elevating the turkey or it won't get brown. I have used bunched up foil in the bottom of the pan. Then follow instructions on the turkey packaging. Good luck.

I always brown my meat(pot roast) on the stove with some oil. If you want gravy, immerse the meat first with plenty of flour, salt and pepper. Place it on the stove to brown without the lid, then I add water and then cover, temp to medium-low. When the lid is on the meat steams so uncovered causes the meat to brown. TOO much info? Only practice and trial and error worked for me.
