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

Yes, that is the top limit. This was a gift for my husband. He absolutely loves it!

Yes it can. Just use the time guidance as the lower limit of what you should leave it in the machine.

I cooked a 7 lb organic chicken 4 or 5 times very successfully, if that helps. Crispy skin, moist inside -- best chicken ever!

I've used it successfully in a 475* oven to brown both a turkey and a chicken for 30 minutes, then turned oven down to 250* to roast.

Sorry but I am not sure. I usually cook a whole chicken on it...about 3 to 5 lbs. You probably could put a small turkey or capon on it but I think the legs would be far over the sides so you would have to put it on a flat pan in the oven to catch the dripping juices. Hope that makes sense.sml

Yes you can bake/roast a small turkey or chicken. The meat is tender and juicy. The T-FAL has worked well for me and my family. Enjoy.

I cook my chickens at 425 for the first 20 minutes so I know the Norpro can be used at that temperature. I also use a convection oven. Could you roast four birds? I'm not sure four birds would fit in a regular sized house oven. Two for sure would fit, maybe three birds.

I use my 5 1/2 qt dutch oven for meals for my husband and me. Plenty of room. I think you could easily double my recipes and cook for 4 with it. Probably be good for pan frying chicken -- might reduce the spatter because of the taller sides than a frying pan would have.

Yes, I have browned chicken on the cooktop and then put it in a 350 oven to finish. Not sure if I would use a temp higher than 400, but general roasting is fine.

Excellent. It does run hot so check your chicken before your normal time that you are use to in your regular oven. Mine works better than my oven ever did.

The product is a bread pan, think small loaf of bread, or a modest sized meat loaf. Not sure what is meant by an oven roaster, but if you are referring to a chicken then this is not the pan you want.

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 would think you could bake bread in this. You would just take out one set of racks. Definitely a 13x9 pan will fit in it. You need to know, though, that you can't set or regulate the temperature on this like a regular oven--it's more like a gas grill, where you have a temperature gauge, but can't just set it at 350. I cooked a 6 pound chicken in this and it came out great--but at one point the oven was over 450, and I never normally cook chicken at that high a temperature. I played with the temperature setting several times to try to figure out just how high you should set it to get it around 350. I haven't 100% figured it out yet, but have only used the actual oven 4 times. The burners on top are FANTASTIC compared to something like a Coleman stovetop. I totally recommend this product.

NO. But you can cook a large roast or whole chicken with excellent results. I just did this last Christmas. Took about 4.5 hrs for a large roasting hen.

I did a 23 lb. turkey. I would think it might take a 25 lb turkey but it may overlap the sides. You could wrap any overlapping extremities in foil or place the pan on foil so any drippings would not go on oven floor. Take a tape measure to store when you purchase your bird. Exact measure of pan is 12"x 16" x 3". Tie him nice and tight or roast him upside down (which keeps the breast nice and moist).

yes, i've done it a few times. don't put too much oil in and it will leave batter fragments at the bottom so pay attention. it cooks chicken fast.

I'm assuming you mean a 7.5lb turkey breast. I would say yes, but it will need to cook on high for 12 hours.

I have put a 25 pound turkey on it in my large roasting pan - that is the largest I have tested! I have also put two 5 pound chickens side by side.
