does the chicken/turkey still get browned on the bottom using this?

It will not be soggy like if it was sitting in it's own juices, but it won't get as browned as if it were on a metal rack.

It does and doesn't it browns normally except where it immediately contacts the silicone, the area touching the silicone browns, but more slowly. If you cook a turkey for a normal time it will be evened out, but with a smaller chicken you will see an impression.

I have not used it on a turkey. A chicken does brown on the bottom EXCEPT for where the silicone was touching the chicken.

You can! I've had it up to 500 degrees + and extended broiling right under the broiler - pork belly. :) Absolutely no issues or discoloring whatsoever. Hope this helps!

I don't baste my turkey. I do however inject it with butter before cooking. It is very moist when sliced right out of the oven. This works with chicken also.

Yes! It most definitely ends up perfectly brown. Think KFC original roast ;)

I did not do the outside and it has been fine. But even if it rusted a little I would not worry about it it is on the outside. But I have had no problems with that. If I did I would rub a little oil on it while it was hot. I cook on a electric stove so I wouldn't do the bottom where the heat source hits but I would add a little oil on the upper outside.

Yes...however, if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy this one. It did not heat up. I kept turning up the heat because turkey wasn't getting done.

Sorry, no. There's no bottom to it other than the grater plate so it'd ooze through as you warmed it.

I find the roaster does not brown as well as an oven, but if you crank up the temp for the last 20 minutes of so of the cooking time you will get most of the browning you are looking for. One caution, if you have stuffing in the roaster with the chicken, the higher heat will dry your stuffing and you will get some sticking for sure. I use my roaster mostly for things I want to simmer for hours, chili, marinara, bar-b-que pork, Brunswick stew, etc. or for dishes I'm going to take elsewhere, very portable and easy to reheat. It also cooks a great ham. Hope this helps.

I had the same issue when cooking a turkey. No actually adjustment needed to the spit, in stead adjust the position of the chicken making sure the heavy end (butt) is away from the rotatory. Anything heavy close to the rotatory will cause the motor to falter.

I have had no problems, I just use the moist setting and it works great. I have done ground meat without any trouble. I have also done chickenafter it has been rinsed and drained.

Hi, I have only baked pumpkin pie in mine, The edges got brown so I would think the top should get browned as well.

I would try elevating the turkey or it won't get brown. I have used bunched up foil in the bottom of the pan. Then follow instructions on the turkey packaging. Good luck.

Not if you leave the lid on, but that could depend if you brown sauce in your basting. Our last bird over cooked if you follow their instructions of preheat and cooking time and the last hour.

it's an excellent roaster but no it will not brown the turkey however I suppose you could cook it part way and then transfer into the oven for the last little bit to brown

Possibly, I have never tried it. The chicken would cook down eventually, but might not be able to use cover initially.

Yes. Everything I've baked on it has turned out wonderful! No burned edges or bottom. I highly recommend this pan.

I haven't seen it. Perhaps it is temperature dependent, or with broiler use.
