Kelly's brother and his wife gave us a 22 quart Roaster for Christmas. I had been wanting one for a while, so it was the perfect gift. The girls have been a little bit confused - is it a crockpot or an oven. Well, it's both. Actually so far I've used it more as an oven.
A 13x9 pan fits easily inside it, as does my Pampered Chef rectangular stone baker. So far I've only used it on my countertop, but what I am really excited about is being able to use it outside on my back porch when the weather warms up. In South Texas, it is such a blessing to not have to heat up the kitchen in the hot 6-month long summer we have! Plus, if I need to, I can still use my oven for other things. I sometimes run into a situation when I'm trying to cook different things that need different cooking temperatures, and this is a much cheaper alternative to replacing my stove with one that has a double oven!The owner's manual gives directions on how to make cookies, bread, and other baked goods in it, but I have yet to try that. So far I've cooked meat dishes in there. But it works great and puts out so much less heat than my full oven.
The one I received is here. After I use it outside for the first time, I'll post again to report how that goes.

I've been thinking about one of these for quite a while but didn't know anyone who'd really used one! We talk often of needing another oven, but since our kitchen doesn't have room for one, this might be a great solution, especially on bulk cooking days or at holidays...thanks for the review :-)
My parents have one of these and they love it! One of these days, we'll get one. We're a bit limited on storage space, so we've avoided purchasing this large item!

Most of our dispensers match the style and finish of our faucets. They can also fill an additional faucet hole eliminating the need for an escutcheon cover.
Escutcheon plates, also known as base plates, are mounted under the faucet spout and reaches out to cover pre-drilled holes that will not be used when raising the Kitchen Product faucet or accessories.
