You may possibly be able to fit a small chicken into the pan. The inside pan (from the bottom to the lower edge of the lip) measures 3" high and is 8 3/4" wide. The lid is domed, so you could probably physically fit a small chicken into it, BUT I doubt that you'll turn out with ROASTED chicken. I put a whole package of boneless skinless chicken breasts into mine, cover it and put it into my solar oven. It comes out nicely STEWED with lots of broth. Even if you left it uncovered in a conventional oven, I would expect it to wind up sitting in liquid. (The whole chicken will probably have more juice come out of it than just the breasts I use because the whole chicken has the skin and all the fat content.) If you really want a ROASTED chicken, I'd suggest using a larger pan.

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.

I believe a whole chicken would fit, but I believe it is better suited for one pot meals, like ham, potatoes and string beans or stews and soups. I would bake a whole chicken

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam

I doubt you could due a 10 pounder due to the size this cone would be. I've never done more than a 5 lb. chicken--but the book says you can do up to a 7-8 lb. bird. That would be kinda big for the chamber. But that size gyro, even if it were smaller, my worry would be that it might fall apart IF you could mount it in the chamber securely. All this aside, I'd be willing to take a chance since you could do a very slow cook with the versatile heat settings and considering it has a center heating element. A tough decision. Maybe call the manufacturer.

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.

While you cannot fit a whole chicken in there, you can put in chicken parts and your veggies and make a lovely soup for two.I find this pot very handy and have made soup this way.

Yes, in a small sauce pan however in my opinion, the frying mechanisms doesn't get hot enough for me. I ended up having to throw out my unit within three months of purchase. The unit burned out from normal, daily usage. It was cute while it lasted. I will never buy another one. Perhaps you will have better luck. Good luck and enjoy!

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.

If you were really desperate, like you had no other saucepan or pot in the house, I guess it might work. The metal is thin and you would get hot spots and that's where the gravy would become cooked solid. Then your cleanup would damage/scrape off the porcelain finish. Then you would be throwing away the roasting pan because it would be rusting...

If it's a smaller chicken--4 lbs or under, it would probably be ok. But, for chicken soup using a larger chicken with many vegetables I usually use the 8 or 12 quart stockpot. I love the pot you're referring to. It's superb for Italian sauce with meatballs & so many other wonderful meals. I wouldn't want to be without it. But, I think one of the stock pots would be better for chicken soup.

Yes. A whole roaster fits in and that is the same size as a rotisserie chicken.

This is a smaller roasting pan. I would probably look for something in the 16-17" x 13-14" range.

I haven't tried cooking a whole chicken in this crock yet, so can't speak to that size. However, I do cook roasts in it regularly. Three pounds, plus onion, potatoes and carrots is about all I can fit into it. If you're only cooking the meat, then I'd guess you could fit a 5 lb. roast. HTH

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 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.

As the other customers have stated, YES you can do whole chickens in it. I'd go for the larger clay pot as it can be used for everything . . .I suggest you do not limit it's use. I use mine to roast veggies and make large batched of bread pudding for potlucks. Enjoy and Use it!
