are the holes large enough to do doubly duty as jalapeno rack for roasting?

i have never used for that purpose but as you can see holes are graduated in size i use for roast of all kinds and works well for that. for the price its a good addition to your cast iron cookery

The largest hole is the one in the center it measures 15/16" in diameter. The next larger holes are the ones on the outside perimeter, they measure 11/16" in diameter. The others towards the center are 9/16" and 3/8" in diameter

I use this for roasting jalapeno peppers on top of my gas stove and it works fabulously!

Have not used it for roasting jalapenos. However, considering the holes and the hot cast iron, I'd guess it will work for that purpose.

Yes. I have a very large oval cooker and it fits it even better than it would a round one. They even come with ties so that you can use them as a cooking bag in a pan in the regular oven.

yes, there is a hole in the center. What a good idea though if it did not have a hole. Maybe you could still use it as a chicken roaster over a cookie sheet?

This roaster is for a small roast so it most certainly does fit. It fits just a couple pound roast.

Yes, the rack will definitely accommodate that size with room to spare on either end. This is a great tool and very multifunctional.

Yes. I use mine to hold my baking sheets and a fairly heavy grill pan. I also use another one to hold my heavy metal-rimmed glass sauce and frying pan lids.

The holes are smaller than a normal strainer. I think it would work well as a yogurt strainer.

Yes it is but it is really big so it might not fit. Also, once something is cooked in it you might need to soak it a bit and clean by hand. Love this roaster!

Yes: I believe it would support a griddle. I use it to hold very heavy metal roasting trays.

Absolutely. The largest holes are about 1/4 inch. Good for normal grated cheese but not big enough for the "shaved" type.

No, the holes would be too big for that purpose, I use it for pasta and veggies only.

So long as you sear your meat prior to placing it in the roaster it should work. Personally I use my crock pot for post roasts because the roaster is so large. Just remember you can't use cooking bags in the roaster either.

I don't think so! because the large part of the drumstick would be up to high? Especially on a grill, an in an oven you would definately have to put it in a larger pan because of grease dripping. Plus the holes are small some larger jalepena peppers won't fit.

I wouldn't think so because of the holes. I've just used it on the grill...my second year...I love it.

Yes, they are just very small. I have used the pan and wire rack for roasting potatoes.

I cooked a 2.5 lb roast however, it could accommodate a much larger roast. You just need to be careful the roast does not touch the burner elements in the back of the unit.

These have holes large enough for course ground pepper. I have no idea where to get ones with real small holes. It would depend a lot on what you need them for.
