Is this the V rack needed to cook a roast?

Judith, I'm no great cook, and I'm probably not the one to give you any cooking advice, but I think if the roast is elevated by the "V" rack, it will cook better, all around, and, if you intend to make gravy or to use the drippings, with something like a pot roast, the elevated roast won't be swimming in its juices. Good luck.With or without the "V" rack, I'm sure your roast will be good, so enjoy it with your family or friends, and take all the credit.

I don't have one, but, if you're going to cook a roast, I think it would be a good idea to get the roast up and off the cooking surface. If you planned to use a drip pan, I really like the V rack idea. Then you could have a roast and all the "fixins." Good luck and good eats, Van.

Needed? No. Helpful? Absolutely because they can be used to suspend your roast over a drip pan. The V racks ARE needed for ribs but there are other ways to do a roast if you want to. Some, like a brisket, you would cook directly on the grill grate with a placesetter underneath. There are many ways to do a roast with or without a V rack.

Yes. I do it all the time, and it is one of the clear advantages of having the aluminum sandwiched in between the stainless steel. So, you can brown your vegetables, or heat up the liquid, or make a sauce in the roaster and then plop it into the oven.

Yes. You can use the roast function and set your tray on the support they provide.

Yes, this should work. This is my second 6qt. roaster. Wouldn't be without it

Hello Constance ~ No this roaster does not have the ridges typical of most Circulon products. Utilizing the included rack eliminates the need for the ridges. Thank you for your inquiry Constance.

i do not recall if I have ever used it with the oven set at 500. Probably not because I prefer low to very low temps for roasting. I suspect it would do quite well at 500 or higher. It seems to be well constructed and has proven to be very durable. It is the best rack I have used.

I have not had mine long and so far have only made soup in it. I look forward to doing some roasting and believe with the convection part what you want to do would work but that's just a guess.

I went on Amazon and did not see the exact one we have so they may no longer carry it. But ours looks a lot like the Calphalon Small Nonstick Roast Rack.

No. You need to remove the grate for adding wood. This is much larger than either of those stoves. I use it for cooking with my 8 quart dutch oven. It is a BBQ not a stove.

Yes it would, I use my roaster as an oven, I have cooked ribs, roast, whole chickens, what ever will go into a oven or crock pot. Will be making Taco soup Sunday for super bowl in it. I love it.

I believe its design for garlic storage I would not put it in the oven. I believe it is not often proof it is not a garlic roaster.

Yes it does! Also, I cooked a chuck roast in this the other day from seared to falling apart in 55 minutes. Love this product.

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.

The Lodge trivet/meat rack really does not fit in the large pan of this combo -- it sits a good half inch above the bottom. It fits the skillet just fine, though -- you could flip it over and use it that way. If you want to load up your roast with potatoes and veggies (not to mention gravy), I suggest you get the 5-quart Dutch oven -- the trivet fits perfectly.

Yes, the rack is stainless. We had our oven set at more than 400 degrees while cooking a roast, and used the broiler (electric) to finish off browning the Thanksgiving turkey.

I haven't tried this but seems to me that it ought to work just fine,it cooks from top to bottom ,so just putting another rack in should not make any difference. Hope this helps,I love my cooker.

Hi Lisa, yes it does: the baking pan is shallow, but solidly built. There is also a draining rack (I'm assuming that is what you mean by roasting tray) that fits inside the baking pan. Great oven.
