is it possible to just toss in a chicken to roast and do nothing--meaning, not drain or change temp, just come home 8 hrs later and eat?

My daughter says, "Yes." She throws in 4 chicken breasts and teriyaki seasoning and dinner is ready when she gets home.

Yes, but it wouldn't be "roasted". It would be the same as putting it in a crockpot on low, unless you browned it first.

Yes it is...it is a slow cooker... I have one for about a year now and have not turned on my oven since getting it...I cook just about everything in it.

I do not think you would be able to do that. When cooking a chicken you place the chicken over the tubed center (about 3" tall) of the dish. Inside that "tube" you ad liquid which steams up through the cavity of the chicken. Hope this helps you.

First ..defrost the chicken and season it if you want..give 3min. Turn it over and another 2min.it all depends on the wattage of your microwave oven though.. add additional 30 sec. Increasement if its not done. ..

I have never tried to cook a whole chicken, so I can't answer to your question. Sorry!

I don't see why you couldn't set it for 12 hours on low and then reset again and again. I have never cooked beyond 12 hours though. This is a great cooker for everything I have tried to cook which is mostly stews, chili, corned beef and chicken.

I haven't done it but I see no reason not to. You may have to adjust your timing and add veggies last sine they take less time to cook. Hope it will wok out for you

I haven't cooked a chicken yet. I would think it would take about as long as an oven baked chicken but would probably need to cook at a temperature about 10 degrees lower than in the oven.

Hi! Yes it has a timer that goes all the way to two hours. No broil option, however, I have discovered in the case of certain meats, you can just turn up the heat and get the same result. It will evenly brown chicken or turkey skin. I have never tried to broil a steak. I do regularly cook pork tenderloin and it comes out perfectly! The great thing is that the oven door is very tight and does not let any heat out. Sometimes I open the door and think the meat is burning but it's actually just retained all the moisture in the oven so it's just steam. I have yet to ruin in anything in this oven. So much better than the regular ones you buy say at Bed Bath and Beyond. Hope this helps. Hi! Yes it has a timer that goes all the way to two hours.

My experience with preparing chicken in my clay pot is that I allow the full baking time with the top on, and then remove the top and continue baking for five to eight minutes to allow the skin to brown slightly and turn crispy. I don't prepare meat very often, but do use approximately the same baking time after removing the top.

Yes you can. You want to follow the instructions for doing so in the instruction booklet that comes with the rotisserie. Very important to use the elastic ties. This keeps the chicken nice and tight and compact. I always set my birds on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes so that they are not ice cold, but I have cooked them both ways. Just did a prime rib Friday and it was delicious!!

We've roasted a 5 lb chicken (after flattening it somewhat) and draping some aluminum foil over the top (breast-side down). It's much easier to cut the bird in half and roast it that way

No you cannot. What you can do is go ahead and put in the time you want and when that cook time has elapsed the unit has the keep warm function which keeps the food warm until you turn it off.

I have never tried this but I would think not because the cooking would be using the timer

No. It doesn't work like an oven. And any slow cooker recipe will specify to cook on low, medium or high for a specific amount of hours.

Yes , I have cooked chicken varying from 5 to 8 pounds just adjust your time.

No. Never tried raw chicken but should cook fine if it is fairly flat. (Raw steak cooks perfectly)
