was wondering, is it works as roastry 2 as for roastry chicken and turkey, or just made only for steam and frying?

The rotisserie feature for frying acts to constantly rotate the food as it fries. It does not do a rotisserie "bake" as when you get those chickens at the deli or grocery store. It will also steam with or without the rotisserie being used.

It is both a fryer and steamer. Depending on what you are frying, (chicken, turkey) you can also use the rotisserie feature.

Hi - it is not a rotisserie, only steam & frying. The frying outcome of the turkey is great, I have not used to steam as of yet.

We haven't used it to fry a turkey yet but will be next Saturday, don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

It will work good with either one. I found the secret to making it steam is to add a teaspoon full of salt to hot water when you fill it up and the steam will roll. Mine works great now that I am doing that and I am very happy with it...

The steam gets very hot, so you can probably cook chicken in it. I would just check that it's cooked through before blending. I personally cooked the chicken in a pan with a little olive oil, then blended it with steamed sweet potatoes and apples.

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

I have only used this rack for beef and pork roasts..I have not used it to cook a whole turkey or turkey parts such as the breasts..it appears to be large enough to support a (double) turkey breast as it comes in the store when purchased..hope this helps

By the way, the cook time guide provided is dead on for chicken and turkey. I haven't used it for any other type of meat yet. It works especially well with brined whole chicken.

I have never used the Masterbuilt, but I can that this fryer is awesome! I cooked up 2 turkeys for Christmas, each one was a little over 16LBS. Although this fryer states it can do a larger bird, I wouldn't push it because the spigot needs to be able to rotate the turkey. But this thing worked great! I should have gotten one sooner. The turkey took exactly one hour to cook and I used coconut oil rather than vegetable oil, less fat and less soaked in grease.

Yes it is. I love this roaster and use it for soups, chili, turkey breast. It's versatile and frees up oven space when you have big meals.

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 just used mine this weekend to brew beer on my Bayou Burner. Works great. Used it to fry turkey over my Bayou Burner for Thanksgiving too.

This machine will do lamb and chicken and pork roast and beef roast and turkey breast and anything else in between!!!!!This machine is an amazing thing!! Only important thing to remember is to figure out how many minutes per pound and then you can "set it and forget it!!!" Good luck and enjoy!!

I suppose it COULD be used for other roasts if you made a cavity for it to sit on the roaster. That is a good question, and I will have to try it. Small turkeys and even Cornish Game hens cook beautifully tender.

There are only 2 of you eh? This cooker is fine for two people, one dinner today and one leftover for tomorrow. I eat very little meat but a small roast is no problem. Make sure you have some water in it always. The booklet it comes with is a great beginning book and will guide you well. I am having a good time with it...

Sorry, but we have not tried cooking with steam as of yet. We are extremely impressed with the roasts, chicken, and ham that we have cooked. All three meats were very juicy.

I set it at 375 degrees and do 4 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes for any size turkey and it comes out great every time! I use this fryer for only turkey so I can not say if that would work for chicken but honestly I don't see why not.

The little booklet has recipes and there's recipes all over the web. It is pretty much the same length of time (either cut up or whole bird) as it takes in conventional oven perhaps a little less. My 2 dishes, chicken breasts and a 6 lb +/- roaster took the thighs a little more time, he was a huge roaster, the breasts came out very juicy and good. Working my way into more complicated dishes. Good luck.
