5 Reasons to Own an Electric Roaster Oven

I love my electric roaster oven.  I can give you 5 reasons that you should own an electric roaster oven too. 

1. An electric roaster oven doubles as a second oven during large holiday or party cooking.  With large families this is a great reason to own the largest size electric roaster oven that you can afford.  I recommend cooking the turkey, ham or roast beef in the electric roaster while you bake pies or side dishes in your conventional oven.

2. An electric roaster oven roasts meats and poultry evenly while keeping all the moisture in the roaster.  This results in a juicy turkey, moist ham or tender roast beef.  The domed lid keeps the heat circulating around the meat instead of evaporating in the hot air of the oven.

3. An electric roaster oven comes with a temperature control ranging from 150 to 450 degrees just like a conventional oven.  This puts the roaster above your basic crock pot which only has low, high and warm.  Having such a temperature range allows you to cook other items besides meats in your electric roaster.

4. An electric roaster oven is portable.  This allows you to move it to the patio, deck or even tailgate party to cook in.  If you don't have room in your kitchen for it to sit on the counter, you can even place it in the laundry room to bake your turkey.  There is no mess or drips with this portable oven.  You can also use it for potluck parties to carry your casserole in and then keep it warm when you get there.

5. An electric roaster oven is easy to use and clean.  The inner liner pan is usually a good quality enamel, but some are stainless steel or porcelain.  They all come with a stainless steel baking rack for your poultry or meats.  All you have to do is place your item on the baking rack, season it, add a little bit of liquid in the pan, put on the lid and turn it on to the correct cooking temperature for your food item.  Cleaning is a breeze.  It cleans up in a large sink or tub with not trouble at all.  No sticking and scrubbing.

My favorite electric roaster oven is the Oster 22-quart:
