Yes. The roaster does make it brown. I did not have to transfer to the oven to brown the skin at all. It actually took alot of stress out of making Thanksgiving. There is nothing in the oven taking up space. The turkey was moist and juicy with very little fuss.

Not quite as brown but...I was very pleased with outcome and color. Just know that it will cook more quickly than a traditional oven. Juicy and delicious!

it's an excellent roaster but no it will not brown the turkey however I suppose you could cook it part way and then transfer into the oven for the last little bit to brown

Yes it will brown, maybe not as much as the oven but it doesn't come out looking pale and unappetizing, it browns enough.

That's about the size of my oven. There's not room for other stuff while the turkey's cooking. Anything else gets cooked the day before or better yet at another guess' house. I do like my turkey straight out of the oven. A cooking bag in a shallow pan is a good idea as mentioned previously but do I prefer this roaster; turkey cooked breast down with a lifting rack under it. Breast down allows the fatty back to baste it. When almost done, I remove it from the roaster to brown the skin. On occasion, it has fallen apart in this process. All the easier to crisppen under broiler. I use this pan because the typical 16-18lb turkey just doesn't fit the next size smaller. That's about the size of my oven.

Probably they are asking that because l have seen very same racks sold with turkey roaster. People put whole chicken/turkey on top of these rack which is placed in the pan and then put in oven.

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.

I use mine as an extra oven while the Turkey is cooking in the primary oven. I have made corn bread, biscuits, Monkey bread, Sweet Potato casserole and use it as a warming oven as well. The breads turn out beautifully.

Yes...however, if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy this one. It did not heat up. I kept turning up the heat because turkey wasn't getting done.

The turkey I roasted was brown all around. in fact I had to put foil on the back to keep it from burning while the breast browned.

I don't think so. The pots that come with it are 8-10 inches. This oven doesn't brown when it cooks.

I would say yes. The darker the bakeware the better but I have used glass. Just make sure you cover it with tin foil or the cover that comes with it. Also, measure your roaster and measure inside of oven (or shelf) to make sure it will fit. I use a smaller roaster pan that happens to be granite wear but I think you can use any kind as long as it fits on the shelf. However, you can remove the shelf and set the pan inside so measure that. I have baked chicken, brownies, lasagna, casseroles, apple pie and strawberry pies, banana bread, meatloaf, meatballs. The possibilities are endless. You will love it after you use it several times and experiment with times. Good luck.

We bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law and she has not cooked a turkey in it yet. However she did look at the recipe guide that came with the roaster and it does indicate that the amount of cooking minutes per pound is the same as a regular oven. I hope this helps!

No, and further, mine failed after two uses carving turkey and a roast. I would not recommend this product.

We have not used the broiler so I can not answer your questions, but as a baking oven it works great and does a good job of browning.

It does and doesn't it browns normally except where it immediately contacts the silicone, the area touching the silicone browns, but more slowly. If you cook a turkey for a normal time it will be evened out, but with a smaller chicken you will see an impression.

it can brown, it has a removable pot that is teflon lined and easy clean but no rack....I would buy it again and as a gift without question

O.K. first I brown the chicken in the roaster on a higher heat, it won't take long, then bring the temp. down and continue to cook as you would usually do. I haven't ever used the roaster with a chicken stuffed with a bread stuffing, so I'm not sure how that would do.

It will brown but you do need to put a little oil. Check out the CD that comes with the purchase or youtube.

Bread does brown, just not quite as much as when using a conventional oven.
