Vertical Roaster is great!

I had a ceramic vertical roaster from a famous shopping channel. Part of the chicken didn't cook right and the skin was soggy. The Cooks Illustrated Show rated this vertical roaster in their equipment corner as the BEST so I purchased on their recommendation. It is excellent! I have a convection oven and the chicken cooked well, skin was crispy and meat was juicy - You will never buy a rotisserie chicken again if you use this vertical roaster. It's too bad there is nothing similar for other meats to roast. You don't need a rotisserie.

Crisp Roast Chicken at its Best

I had tried verticle chicken roasters in the past that were pathetic. This device had my chicken standing up straight looking like it needed a clean tie.
We did not try the infuser on our first effort, as we usually use rubs and wanted to measure the usual factors. What we did discover is that skin was evenly crisp on all sides. The pan that we put the chicken in was remarkably clean with grease ending up in a collection tray at the base of the chicken.
The end result was an evenly crisp chicken, somewhat more moist that in other methods and
I am looking forward to experimenting with the infuser.
The instructions suggest fascinating ways to employ the infuser and they all sound good. Experimentation will determine the result.

I have used various vertical rosters over the years , but none compare to this product. There is no spill nor balancing act to worry about. the infuser is an added plus.
