Proctor Silex 32700 6.5-Quart Portable Roaster Oven, White



Every kitchen needs this. Every cook will love it.
This is like having a small countertop oven, an oven just the size of what you're cooking, not a vast cavern of wasted heated space as with the range oven.

No, you can't cook a turkey in it, but it's perfect for a chicken, or a roast. Or several baked potatoes. Efficient - you don't have to heat the big oven for a small item.

I have also cooked beans and soup in it. Using it this way means you can walk away for a couple of hours without worrying about the liquids boiling out as you do on a stove top.

The removeable interior pan makes clean up easy. The adjustable thermostat is great. How many superlatives can I fit in one sentence?

I gave two of these as Christmas gifts last year and both recipients are using the heck out of them.

*Because of that one review I almost missed out on a GREAT buy!
*This is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I almost didn't buy this thing because of that review on here. No way is this thing aluminum, or tin! Great buy especially for the cost. If you want a product based on looks then you probably should purchase a pretty (expensive) one. I can't see myself tossing out something that works, and well at that, all because of appearance, but I guess that's just me. Anyway, after about 5 months I still love it, it does scorch, but that doesn't affect the cooking, or taste. Saves money not having to heat a big oven to make what will fit in here.

Proctor Silex Roaster Oven = good product
I used this oven to roast our Thanksgiving turkey a few years ago. The turkey was moist and flavorful - did not go dry like a bird roasted in the oven. One caveat: Turkeys cooked in these ovens will not brown like a traditional oven & so need help from a product like Kitchen Bouquet to get a brown color.

The oven works well for baking also.

Nice to have an extra oven sometimes.
