I did a 3 1/2 or 4 lb chicken, but I butterflied it (cut out the back bone), I think it took about 45-50 minutes to cook through. You have to use a med to med-lo heat setting to keep the skin from burning, and you have to keep an eye on it and turn it often. Overall, the chicken tasted great, but I thought it was to time consuming since you have to watch it and turn it frequently so I only did it once. I do vegetables all the time. For small items that may slip through the grate, I put a piece of foil over the grate before adding the veggies, or I use a foil pan. I coat the vegetables with a little olive oil, salt/pepper or other seasonings. Squash, zucchini, and eggplant can go right on the grate, just oil the grate well. For corn on the cob, I wrap the ears in foil with a little olive oil and whatever seasoning I want to put on them and put them on the grate.

Never actually done chicken, however I'm guessing that you could do at least 40. God bless.

Yes. And is the best chicken on the mkt. Tried them all. We love using this for chicken salad and I buy it by the case.

No, definitely not. Two chicken breasts or four thighs would work, or an intact fryer, but not a whole cut up chicken

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam

Not sure what size roast, but chicken should fit. It holds a lot and works great!

I combine them. For example today my baby got (steamed and pureed together): sweet potatoes+ spinachapples + raspberriescarrots+ broccoli+ cream cheeses( not steamed but pureed when veggies were ready)

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 do almost all types of veggies, however when I do anything starchy I boil it with chicken stock or water and add some of that water or stock to the blender and mix it enough to make it baby food consistency

Yes! this is the perfect size to cook a whole chicken! I have done this several times. This is the best crock-pot!

No! Okay, maybe a very small, store bought chicken. I bought this to cook home processed chickens after reading only the answer about the turkey. But I can't even fit the legs in without separating thigh and drumstick. Not even close to fitting the chicken whole.

You can indirect cook or roast on a Q. See link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ogP6HpME2Y

cucumber, yes. Cooked chicken breast, yes. A LARGE potato, I doubt it, but maybe a medium potato. But then again, how large is a large? I know a cuke and a chicken breast would go into it.

I'm vegan so I haven't attempted this but I would guess a small chicken or two Cornish hens might fit if that's ask you out in. Since the pot is round it would be an awkward fit for a whole chicken but cut pieces would fit nicely. There's a small recipe book with about 10 things in it. Nothing to shout about. A basic slow cooker recipe will do.

Yes you can bake/roast a small turkey or chicken. The meat is tender and juicy. The T-FAL has worked well for me and my family. Enjoy.

Yes, unless the turkey is so big as to take up all the room inside. I cook veggies same time as chicken often.

I cooked an approximately 5 pound chicken in mine last night! Worked great! Highly recommend this Dutch Oven!
