Is the large one large enough to roast a whole chicken?

That would depend on the size of the chicken. The bottom is 6-1/4 x 6-1/4. The top is approx. 7-3/4 x 7-3/4. It is approx. 4 inches deep. A small chicken would probably fit.

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

No, you can only put pieces of chicken in the basket. If you want to cook a whole chicken you would need to get the Compact or larger.

I do not believe you can 'roast' in the multi cooker. I have browned and then cooked a whole chicken but I would not say it was 'roasted' - the skin did not get crispy on the outside as it would in a regular oven. However, the meat was well cooked and stayed moist.

Yes. One is smaller for chicken pieces, bacon, steaks, etc. And a bigger one for ribs, roast. You basically use whichever one you want, but yes there are 2 sizes.

Probably not. It is very good size, but I don't think you'd be happy with the results as if it fits, it would barely fit. Large roasts, ducks, chickens are a good fit.

I have only cooked beans in it but you should be able to cook a small roast. Not sure about a whole chicken - could be tight.

It's very sturdy so can take all sizes of bird. I've used it on an extra large chicken with no problems. As others here have said, the overall issue with this is the height of the chicken in the oven !

I don't think so. The part that goes inside the chicken is blunt and rounded. You would not be able to insert it into a solid roast. I hope this helps.

As the other customers have stated, YES you can do whole chickens in it. I'd go for the larger clay pot as it can be used for everything . . .I suggest you do not limit it's use. I use mine to roast veggies and make large batched of bread pudding for potlucks. Enjoy and Use it!

Absolutely! It will take 2 small chickens or one larger one. We've done the Purdue oven stuffer roasters and they come out great!

my dad has roasted a good size pork loin that came out grate. it can handle two chickens at once, but the turkey was too big.

I would say no. Medium turkey to me is 12-15#s. Largest pan with sides is an 11x13 cake pan. You would want a true roasting pan. That said, I've had this set for 7 months and the non stick coating is peeling off.

I think the space is pretty tight for roasting a whole chicken. The top of the chicken would be too close to the heating elements, causing uneven browning. Even cutting the whole chicken into pieces would overcrowd the roasting pan. The size is more ideal for roasting 2 bone in chicken breast halves or several chicken leg/thigh pieces. Cutting a whole chicken in half would also work better.

I think that it could be used to roast a chicken. I had never thought of.....thanks for the idea!!

With out taking two measuring it, I can place a whole large chicken in it. It's larger than any cooking pan I have

No, definitely not. Two chicken breasts or four thighs would work, or an intact fryer, but not a whole cut up chicken
