Is this pan large enough to roast a Thanksgiving turkey? What size turkey do you think?

I was wondering the same thing. I searched the reviews and several of them mentioned having no trouble cooking turkeys over 20 lbs. I think the biggest bird mentioned was 25 lbs.

It is large the dimensions are 13H x 14W x 11D. I will roast a 12lb turkey. It is not small. Our is an older one. They do have a new compact one which I had seen one time. It's Red in color. This is the appliace in our home! I never use the oven for roasting anymore. I used to hate chiken breat meat but it comes out so tender in this Ronco. You won' be disappointed. You have to purchase cook's twine to keep the chicken wing and drum sticks from flopping but worth it once you get the hang of it. The whole chicken has to be balanced in your rotissorie. Excellent product!

From the product description: 13.1 x 9.1 x 4.9 inches. From practical use, we roast chickens in it no problem and we recently did a pork shoulder butt roast. The pork roast was about 2lbs de-boned. There was room to spare. Great small roasting pan.

I have used mine as a roasting pan mostly and have made: lots of bacon, beer can chicken, chicken fried steak, milanesa steak, pizza (thick crust too), focaccia bread,various roasts, and bacon wrapped turkey for thanksgiving. I usually use it in the oven, the grill or on the camp chef 90, rarely on the stove top. It also does great for tacos/fajitas on the Weber.

I haven't done a full turkey, but it would cook a very large turkey....It has a 20" round grate (from side to side), and a clearance above of about 12 -14 inches....

We just cooked our turkey in it at 500 (for like half an hour and then the recipe says to turn it down to 300 something for the rest of the time). The turkey and pan both came through just fine!

Complete dimensions follow: outside diameter handle to handle 19.5 inches; outside diameter of rim 17 inches; inside diameter of rim 16 3/8 inches; inside bottom diameter 14 inches; outside bottom diameter 14.5 inches. Yes it would make a good broiling/roasting pan. Use a rack of some kind and no sticking. It does have a permanent non stick surface. I keep it lightly oiled. It's great for anything where you want a really hot cooking surface, like skillet potatoes, or seared beef, or vegetables. We made a huge paella last night, worked great. Hope this helps.

LOTS! I can get a very large turkey in, no problem. How many quarts? Never measured but it would be at least perhaps 3 gallons ? Just a guess. Its a large roaster.

This pot is HUGE!! 32 Quart. It barely fits on our larger burner (electric). It is taller than it is wide ... which helps. And it distributes the heat over the entire bottom quite well ... even the part that hangs over a little. I don't know how much oil you'll need but a 20+ lb. turkey would fit in it easily. I wouldn't mind having the recipe/directions for deep frying turkey in this pot. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this pot!

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.

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

if you can fit the bird in the roaster, you can cook it.... I cooked a 19 pounder last Thanksgiving, with the lid on, with no problem

I have no clue...I purchased the pan as I cook large turkeys for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Easter, etc. The only thing I have used the pans for is cooking turkeys. Sorry that I am unable to shed any light on the subject. But with the coating on the pan, it would seem like this would be possible...who knows? I don't.

I cooked a 2.5 lb roast however, it could accommodate a much larger roast. You just need to be careful the roast does not touch the burner elements in the back of the unit.

The one I own is larger but I have purchased three for my children. I would guess at three quarts but it may be a bit larger. A small roast or hen would fit easily. My daughter bakes in hers

I cooked a 23 lb turkey, roaster lid did not seal completely because of the height of the bird and top of bird stuck a bit to the roaster lid (use non stick foil to solve this problem) but it cooked great.

Yes, I used my for my Thanksgiving turkey in the Oven. It worked quite well.
