Norpro's vertical poultry roaster is designed to allow fats to drip off your chicken or other poultry as it cooks, leaving only juicy, flavorful, lower-fat meat. The deep drip tray collects the fat so that it doesn't coat your oven, although putting a baking sheet under the roaster is advisable for larger birds. The vertical roaster promotes even cooking, since all sides are exposed to the oven's heat. This configuration also makes the skin exceptionally crispy, a feature which will be lost on those who discard the skin for health reasons The drip tray and rack are both made of stainless steel, which conducts heat quickly and evenly. --Julija Gelazis

Works! May 4, 2008

What can you say about such a simple item? I used Emeril's recipe for a vertical chicken roaster and it was yummy. I did brine the chicken overnight as recommended on another recipe site. I put the roaster in a cake pan to catch stray drips. To get the hot chicken/roaster out of the cake pan and onto a platter, I inserted a bent wire (cut up wire clothes hanger) into the neck cavity and hooked onto the roaster and lifted it out and placed in onto a platter (or else I would have had to use a lot of paper towels). From there it was easy to get the chicken off the roaster. Oh, before I took the chicken out of the cake pan, I used a turkey baster to suck up all the liquid (drippings and a little water) to prevent spills. Saved all that liquid, defatted and threw it in with the bones later to make some stock. Clean up was easy. I did PAM the thing, don't know if that made a difference. Also the wires come off for easier cleaning and efficient storage.
This are GREAT!!!! March 25, 2008

I love them. They easily snap together. Cooking whole chickens are great. Nice and crispy. Plus it catches all the grease and makes your chicken healthier. I snap them apart from the base while still in the chicken and then it easily pulls right out. Toss them in the dishwasher. I do line everything with foil and put it in a cookie sheet. Then simply toss the foil with the grease. They simple do the job.

When I come home late, I put the chicken on the roaster, set the oven timer, and let the chicken bake by itself. I come home to heavenly roasted chicken. No turning, the skin is fabulous, and it even makes a little natural gravy. I gave all of my female relatives a roaster for Christmas, and they were all WOWED! The roaster has made life just a little bit easier for all of us.

I was skeptical about how much better this could be over a regular roasting pan, and only bought it for the 4-for-3 promotion. I was wrong though - this is SOOO much better than a typical pan. I've used it twice now and absolutely love it. I can cook a 7 lb chicken to perfection in 1 hour. I find it's best at 450 for 20 min, and then at 400 for 40 min - the meat was completely cooked and practically falling off the bone! I do put another dish underneath it just in case, because you do get a lot of drippings, but I can roast potato wedges in that dish at the same time. Next time I might add a beer can or something in the middle. When removing though, make sure to loosen the chicken from the rack, or it can get a bit stuck. Oh, and it's really easy to clean. Absolutely love this!

The Vertical Roaster is one of those gadgets that we have been kicking around for years, but never used. This Thanksgiving with my wife out of town I decided it was time to try this thing. Other than snapping it together it was ready to go. Foiled the roaster pan and set it in the middle and added enough water to keep the bottom cool because it was setting right near the bottom element of the oven. No problemo. The small round tray was full of drippings and the water was nice broth. The insides were done without worry and cleanup a breeze. The last turkey I cooked was on top of my fireplace insert when the power went out in the middle of cooking. If a sometimes cook can get such great results this is a real winner. A bonus is there is more room to cook other food around the bird in the roaster pan when it is vertical. What's not to like.
