Is this good for roasting whole garlic bulbs in oven - or is it too big?

Actually I bought this as a gift, my friend loves it and has cooked in it. I think it may be a little big for that

I think it's a good size for roasting whole garlic bulbs...I haven't tried it though. It would also depend on how many bulbs you plan on roasting.

For two whole garlic bulbs, set temp. at 325F and bake for 45 min. or until garlic is tender.

Big! Roasters generally come in either a 12"x14" or 14"x16" configuration. This is one of the 14"x16" pans, so any bird that doesn't hang over the edges too much will work. The size of your oven will more likely be the limiting factor.

The rack is stainless. I roasted a turkey at 350 using he lid only, and roasted a beef roast and veggies using the entire pan at 325. Another post stated that the stainless didn't conduct the heat very well. The roast might have taken longer, but it was so tender and juicy. I can't see why it wouldn't be able to go in a hot oven. It is a heavy quality pan.

Roasted garlic on French bread and in mashed potatoes. An excellent garlic roaster. You can't beat cast iron!

Instructions that came with it recommend not using larger than a 10" skillet. I use a 2" deep fryer 10" skillet and A brabd of dutch oven like the expensive pans because they are large and sides angle in to fit inside the largest ring in the PIC. I haven't had any issues with the size at all. I have noticed the heated surface is hotter in the center and is less hot around outside edge. When I am browning a large amount of hamburger in my 2" deep skillet, I have to move meat from outside to inside where it will brown faster unless I up the temp. It will cook, but not as quickly as inside ring. I guess that is true with most burners, but I do wish Nuwave would make a 12". Bottom line is the burner really works and is worth purchasing. I have a microwave/convection oven, a 6 qt Nesco Roaster and this Nuwave PIC. I live in a 2 yr old RV and have never used my stove or oven.

It easily fits 4 to 5 medium onions and 6 cloves of garlic. It is great and solved my storage problem. The onions and garlic are lasting longer than in a wire basket.

The general recommendation is round for more stove top use and oval for oven use, as most people have round burners on their stoves it should heat more evenly. I think the oval fits roasts and birds better. I have the oval but I also have a gas stove with a long center burner. Either way you can't go wrong!

Hi Nick, First of all I would like to share with you that I love all the simax product I have purchased. I had a 2.75 chuck roast in my freezer, so I plopped in the pan to check for size. It was a tight fit Nick with vegetable too. I don't have a toaster oven , but I think it might be a close fit too. I hope don't mind if I make another suggestion for cooking a pot roast. Have you ever thought of purchasing an electric pressure cooker ? You cannot believe all the things you can successfully cook with this small appliance. I got one as a gift and thought ho hum. I fell in love as I began to use it. I use it a least 2-3 time a week. You can cook everything from roasts to hard boiled eggs. Here is a site you might like to look at to see all the possibilities. "Pressure cooking today". Electric pressure cookers have a million safety features built in them! So you don't have to be concerned them as in the old day . I have a cuisinart electric pressure cooker. Which you can purchase from amazon. I hope I didn't give more information than you wanted. I just wanted to give you something to think about. Amazon offers a number of different brands of electric pressure cookers check those out too.

Big enough.. If you need a bigger pot you're gonna have to build a fire.. I cook 5 lb pot roasts in mine and still have plenty of room for vegetables

The interior measures 9 3/4 deep x 10 in. wide x 5 1/2 high but when you take into account that there is a drip pan on the floor of the TOV and then the rack that the roasting pan would have to sit on, it measures 4 1/3 of useable height. I have baked chicken breast and fish successfully but I check it before the time is up because it heats up fast and due to it's interior size, it seems to cook faster than the oven cooks. Baked white and sweet potatoes are great done in this oven. I love mine.

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!

There is only my husband and myself. I have cooked smaller portions of stew in this. The cast iron maintains the temperature so you can have less product inside, and is holds a temperature without fear of burning. A five quart would probably suit you well but this is great if you ever want to make a big pot roast, entertain, or make extra to put aside. I guess the question is - why too large? A shortage of storage space would be my only reason to scale down.

It works like the Spanek roaster but is about 1/2" shorter. It works fine for frying chickens, but the Perdue Oven Stuffers I like to roast seem to sit a little low in the pan.

I have not used this in my oven, but since it is all metal, I suspect it would do well in a moderate oven. I use mine on both my gas range and my woodstove and it is great to use. For a bigger family I would look into one somewhat larger, but for 2-4 people or for soups/sauces it does well.

My Ronco is the small one and I cooked a 10lb Prime Rbb. Delicious! Great for roasting full chickens, they come out moist.

I have never roasted tomatoes. This rack elevates whatever you are roasting about 3/4" from the inside bottom of your pan, so if you would like space between the tomatoes and the pan, this would do it. I agree that it would work best if sprayed or oiled first, because it is chrome plated, not non-stick. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for roasting tomatoes or any other vegetable, as long as the that vegetable was large enough not to fall between the bars.
