Is this cooker large enough to roast a chicken?

Yes plenty big enough for a whole large chicken and you have room for vegetables to go with it.

Thanks for asking and yes it is a very large pressure cooker which make it so nice for cutting down time and is a slow cooker (there again time is sometimes essential). Also is a pressure cooker for small jobs such as canning small amounts of leftovers. Would probably do a small turkey. Very nice indeed! Is good for large amounts and easy to clean. If you get one I hope you enjoy using it for lots of things.

I cook for a family of 5 and the can cooker is a good size for us. I believe the jr would be too small

No it isn't big enough to do a whole chicken. You could steam a cut up chicken but I have not tried it for meat. I use a slow cooker for that.

Yes it would, I use my roaster as an oven, I have cooked ribs, roast, whole chickens, what ever will go into a oven or crock pot. Will be making Taco soup Sunday for super bowl in it. I love it.

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

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!

I don't think so. If you tried to put a roast on this item, you would have a large hole in the middle. The chicken cavity slides over the holder. It does cook an awesome chicken with very little clean up. Love it.

I have two ot the Fagor pressure cookers a smaller one and the 10 quart and the small one is great for smaller dishes but the ten quart is fantastic for large roasts and hugh corned beef and cabbage dinners. My suggestion is go for the larger unit.

We had a smaller version of this for our family of 4. It works well for some things (mostly desert or sides like beans and stews), but we also got the bigger size (8 quart) because we wanted to be able to cook bigger things like a whole chicken or a roast.

Yes, it works well. The only problem is it is too small for the huge batches I sometimes cook.

I cooked an 8 lb whole chicken... and that looked to be about the max size... however, I will be giving my ronco rotisserie away as it is too much hassle with the clean up... I'd rather just grill the chicken... or whatever

Don't know why it would not work. It works for small and large roasts and we often use it for roasted chicken, when not putting them on the grill.Hope this is helpful.

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.

That is correct, but that is plenty to cook, large pieces of fish, chicken, fries, hushpuppies, shrimp and much much more. It is a wonderful cooker that we use at least once a week.

so far I made fried rice , general t'so chicken and chicken with roasted peanuts and it has work good. I use the biggest or hottest cooker trying to keep the base even on the hot surface so the sides get hot evenly.

The 117 is large enough to roast a 16 pound turkey, so the answer is yes but probably an overkill if you will only be roasting 1 chicken. For single chickens I'd recommend the 111 Romertopf, it's smaller and easier to handle. I have both of them and love them.The best chicken and turkey I've ever had.

Yes, this roaster would have plenty of room for a 5-6# roast. I have loaded it with a 4# deer roast and tons of vegetables and there was lots of room to spare. I've also cooked 2 racks of ribs and it was roomy enough. I love this thing.
