can you use it for large pieces of meat such as roasts or turkey?

Yes it can. It has an extra long probe that makes it great to use on thick foods

It is capable of reading the temperature of a roast or a turkey, but not to be used as a conventional meat thermometer and left in place during the entire cooking process.

I think so. I have used it for large roasts, lots of vegetables and even though you are only supposed to fill no more than 2/3 full , that has been plenty of room for the things I have cooked in it.

Yes you can, I've used mine for cooking bulk sausage into pattys and I've also cooked eggs in it.

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!

We have used this machine to "cube" cuts of steaks. We run the meat through a second time, which makes it even more tender. I expect you could do stew meat with it. It may work with smaller pieces of meat. Might be worth a try.'

Yes, I've used it for more than just baking -casseroles, roasting meat or veggies. It is 2" deep. Mine is also a bit wider -almost 9 1/2" but 13" long

It depends on the size, but this should be sturdy enough to hold a rib roast. Amazon also sells a non-adjustable rack that is a lot more robust that will pretty much hold any large heavy roast, turkey etc. So if you have any doubt about the size and weight I'd go to the hardier rack. We own both.

No. This is more a Perdue oven stuffer Chicken size although I have used it for roast meats with good results

It probably could be done If you choose to use it like a giant crock pot. I feel you should brown the beef before putting it in. It really is a roaster and as such may not give you the results you want on the first try. But to create a very large stew it most likely would work.

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

Not really. If you're roast meat is leaking enough for it to run over the board, I would suggest letting it rest longer so the meat can reabsorb it's own juices. At least 30 minutes for a 20 pound turkey.

Yes it can. I actually use it to cook pork chops and steaks more than pizza. The meats sears so fast it is very juicy. Enjoy!

No, I use it mainly for frying but I assume that you could if you set the temp, put the lid on and monitor the roast. check the booklet that came with it

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.

For things like deglazing the roasting pan to make gravy for a short period of time, yes. I wouldn't use it to cook things in, however. Note that I use a gas stove - harder to do this with electric.

Yes, and if its a really big brisket they have expandable bags that I have used to seal a turkey with. You can store a raw brisket or a cooked brisket but you cannot cook a brisket in the bag. Food savers website will have dimensions, but it is a very small footprint

For ribs, yes. This is a dual purpose rack.Used in the way pictured, it's a great turkey roasting rack.Flip it over and it's a rib rack.Because it's Stainless Steel, after use, soak first, then clean up with a 3M pad.Easy peasy.
