I want to roast a turkey-breast, around 4 lbs. What size should I get?

Mine is either the 111 or 109 & I'm sure it would hold a 4lb. turkey breast.

A 4 pounder. If you're asking about the clay baker, I don't recommend them. Too hard ti clean. You can't use soap and baking soda isn't very effective. I spent 20 minutes scrubbing my baker and my opinion is it just wasn't worth it.

The size I purchased, as long as you dont add a lot of extras, like veggies

Since I roasted an almost 4 lb chicken with vegetables in my 110, I would think you could; would like to try this myself with a turkey breast.

I roasted a 12.5 lb turkey and the lid fit just right. Any bigger though, and the lid would not have fit

As another reply already pointed out, this roaster is large enough to roast a turkey, so it's an overkill for a chicken. I'd go with the Romertopf #140 for that ( see romertopfdirect [ dot ] com ). I also own a Romertopf #111, but that's a bit too small for cooking a chicken in my opinion--especially if you want to addveggies and some potatoes.Also remember that these clay pots won't be made in Mexico any longer. The new pots wil comefrom Germany and will have a glazed bottom . See fantes [ dot ] com for more info.

I used mine for a small turkey, I am sure it will be good for your roast, it is very sturdy and ajustable.

This roaster is probably too big for what you usually cook. If available, I would go down in size. This one is good for a medium sized turkey or for a large roast (or really large chicken).

I would say whatever you want in it and fits will work. This past Thanksgiving, I smoked two turkeys, 30 lb and 26 lb.

Haven't roasted chicken yet, but that's why I bought it. I called all clad, but they couldn't give me an answer about the thickness of the pan. I took it out, it's just as heavy bottomed as my other huge all clad roaster, so I'll jet you know! It's a good size for a single chicken or a turkey breast, it a 3-4 standing rib. The only thing different is the handles come out from the pan, not up. Let me know your result!

Depending how roast was cut. We usually cook about 3 lb cuts of meat, but I think you could get a 5 lb roast in there. If you have more than 4 in your family you may want to go with the bigger one, but we have gotten by with the 5 qt for many years, and raised 5 kids. Start with the 5 qt. won't be as heavy, easier to handle. If you find you want a bigger one get the 7qt. Or, do like we did, add another 5qt. We have two because of having a dozen or so folks at some family functions and they all love roast beef.

My review was "Weber 22 1/2" gold grill. I had too break almost every bone on the bird so it wouldn't hit the dome lid. I'm sure the chicken didn't mind but I did. I'll see in a hour or so if I can get the roaster out of the bird without pliers." That was a 4lb bird. The roaster is pretty tall. With that said, I would go with 1 of webers models

Hi Melody, I own two of these machines and gave one to two sisters and one to a son. I totally love it!!! For Thanksgiving I put a 6 1/2 lb. whole chicken on it and it turned out beautifully. I also do turkey breast with the bone in. I like doing them better then the whole turkey because you don't have to skewer it so much. Anyway back to your question about how big of a turkey this model takes. I agree with R. Fletcher when they said 12-15 lbs. Maybe a little smaller would be better. Hope this helps you out. Sandy G.

Fully covered no bigger than about 20lbs. When using the shallow roaster, I've cooked a 26lb turkey on a rack.

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.

I can't be sure but I think this will hold that size of turkey. I have been so very pleased with my roaster. All the others have surfaces that get damaged with time of cooking in them. This has been a great addition to my kitchen. I do all kinds of roasts in mine.

If your roaster is marked 0508-6 15 inch then it is the same one and it does not hold a 12lb. turkey. It holds only up to a 10 lb. whatever the description says.

It's pretty big but we've never tried cooking a 24lb turkey in it. We've only cooked a pretty good size chicken, among other types of meat, in it and it worked absolutely great. Easy to clean, lightweight, and cooks a mean meal. Just looking at it, I think a 24lb turkey would barely fit so I would go somewhere under that weight. For that large of a turkey I would recommend a Nesco cooker. We used that every year to baste and roast a mighty fine turnkey. But you can do the same with Emeril Roaster, too. Happy Thanksgiving.

I have never cooked a turkey breast in mine, but I have cooked roasts and I believe a small turkey breast will fit in it just fine. Merry Christmas!

Try carefully cutting the turkey from neck opening through top of breast all the say to the bottom opening. I believe chefs call this splaying but I wouldn't swear to it. You can then fold each side over and still insert some stuffing if you like. You can also rub the inside of the turkey with butter and seasoning to infuse more flavor. In my opinion it will be more tender and juicy if you roast it at a lower temperature for a greater amount of time. I have roasted duck this way and it falls off the bone.Dennis
