A few years ago my MIL had an absolute FIT because my hubby got me a roaster for Xmas! I assured her that it was perfectly ok because I had circled the roaster in the ad and put it on his briefcase where he would be sure to see it. I was thrilled that he took the hint...I absolutely love my roaster. Have used it for both hams and turkeys...they always turn out fine and it does free up my oven for other things.
