I have a Rival 22-lb-turkey roaster (from the crockpot company) that I bought last Thanksgiving. Love it. Use it all the time. Can't believe I never had one before.
I have a single oven, so for holidays it's really helped to have that second "oven." But I use it for all kinds of things on a regular basis.

We have a Rival one, too. It has been a *huge* lifesaver recently when cooking larger meals than would fit in a crock pot. I do find for crockpot-type meals I have to watch it and keep the temp. a little lower than usual, just for a helpful note. I looked up online what the typical temp is for the low and high settings on a crockpot, and used that as my basic guide. I found that I had to watch it and keep the temp. a little lower than it said and stir it unlike the crockpot, to keep things from sticking/burning.
Sorry if this goes off topic, just thought it would help once you got one.

So, after reading the other thread about cooking in the roaster, am I right in thinking that it's the sort of thing a big family could graduate to after out growing their crockpot? I own the biggest crockpot I could find, but I now have to cook potatoes separate when making beef stew in order to get two meals out of it. Forget making a big batch of anything to freeze.
