I bought a roaster several years ago and will never use the oven again. The only difference is it doesn't brown like a turkey does in an oven, but I mix up melted butter, kitchen bouquet and paprika and coat the turkey and its gorgeous when done. Very moist, very flavorful, and its cooked in 1/2 the time versus oven. Left my oven space for all the other dishes. It's easier cleaning up, too, as the interior pan lifts out of the roaster for easy washing & came with a rack to lift the bird out easily. Enjoying the left overs. Had a 13 lb bird this year (smallest I've ever done) for 3 of us, and I've got leftovers for 4 dinners, easy. Can be used for hams, roasts, etc., too.
