Shape Matters
What other whistles and bells can be added to a device like a roaster? At a glance, everything is already thought through. But in Oster, they think there is always some room for improvement, hence the Oster CKSTRS18-BSB roaster oven that proves it.
To kick things off, the CKSTRS18-BSB has everything a cutting-edge device is supposed to have and will make a great addition to the arsenal of any average family or a cook taking part in various social events and dinners on a regular basis. Furthermore, just like many other roasters, it can also substitute for an oven. So, what's the difference?
Truth be told, there's not much difference. That said, there are few features that make it stand out. If you take a closer look at it, you're likely to notice is that it has a wide border that is higher than the border of the device. While this might seem a minor thing, it's a big benefit. In fact, when it comes to roasters, it is their shape that matters. So, the wider borders here greatly facilitate serving and cleaning, something any avid home cook will be able to appreciate.
Other than that, the CKSTRS18-BSB has an average capacity of 18 Qt which will let you fit pretty much any meat including whole poultry, so you can use it as a back-up oven for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Moving on to the cooking features, the model is suitable not only for roasting meat but also for slow cooking and baking. You can select a temperature in the range of 150°F - 450°F using a temperature regulator located on the front of the device. There's also a power indicator next to this dial that lights up when the roaster is plugged in and on. Finally, the CKSTRS18-BSB is supplied with a removable rack that enables you to cook meat without dipping it in fat and/or can be used separately for placing a baking sheet.
Stylish Black Design
Not that we've not seen such lids before but we like the fact that the lid on this one is self-basting. Thanks to it, it can ensure faster cooking and make your meat dishes much juicier and more succulent on the inside and outside. On the negative side, according to users, the lid seems to be a bit of a loose fit, therefore it is recommended to double-check if it snugly fits on top of the roaster.
Turning to design, this roaster looks pretty awesome too. It has a stylish black body that doesn’t get stained as easily as silver-colored ones, and it is very easy to maintain clean. Even when it gets dirty, which might happen sometimes, it will be enough to give it a quick wipe. Speaking of the other components, they are not dishwasher-safe and need handwash.
Finally, we can't but like the fact that this roaster is much more affordable than many other roasters with a similar set of features. So, this is the case when you get great value for the little money.
To wrap the whole thing up, if you are looking for a reliable device that will be able to deliver consistent cooking results and won't cost you a fortune, the Oster CKSTRS18-BSB can be the right choice.

Portable Thing
Whether your family loves braises, sewed meat or roasted chicken and lamb ribs, using a roaster oven is always the right way forward. Small yet highly efficient, it's a valued supplementary appliance that can lend you a helping hand both on camping trips, when preparing festive meals for your friends and family, and pretty much any other occasion. A case in point is the Nesco 4816-14 Roaster Oven. Designed by a reputable brand, it's an appliance that is highly portable and up-to-date yet includes all the handy features needed for producing excellent cooking results each time. Let's take a closer look at it.
To start off with the size, the unit weighs just about 8 pounds, making it a good option for use not only in your kitchen but also away from home—in a boat, RV, motor home, garage, patio etc. Despite that, its inner dimensions are far from being modest. With a removable 6-quart cookwell, it provides ample space to cook quite a large meal for a family of 5-6 people, giving you a truly versatile cooking appliance for home use.
Using the roaster is quite convenient and safe, thanks to its well-thought-out design with cool-touch handles, solid base, non-skid feet, and a lid with a handle for easy grip. The lift-out handles on the rack, which you get with the purchase, largely add to the safety of use, preventing the risk of burning your hands while cooking. To let you start using the roaster from the get-go, the roaster is also shipped with a time chart so that those who've not used a roaster before can achieve perfection in cooking on the first try.
Extremely Versatile
When it comes to performance, the Nesco 4816-14 is no slouch. Despite its portable dimensions, it utilizes a powerful 750W heating base with the exclusive "Circle of Heat" heating element, which allows it to evenly cook food and keep it deliciously moist and juicy. In regard to the temperature settings, you've got a full range from 125 up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks to this, the device does a great job of searing and roasting quite large chunks of meat while also being suitable for baking, slow cooking, and steaming.
Finally, you can't help but like the design of the Nesco 4816-14. Made of porcelain fused to the steel, it looks expensive and durable and is able to match just about any kitchen interior. If you'd rather choose something darker and less prone to staining, more color options are available from the manufacturer. In general, though, no matter what color you choose, all models have a non-porous, inert glass like surface that makes up for hassle-free cleanup after use.
In the end, if you are looking for a portable yet highly efficient roaster for cooking healthy and delicious meals, the Nesco 4816-14 may be a good choice. With this roaster at hand, you'll be able to do so much more than just roasting and get the most out of recipes with ease.

What Is a Roaster?
A roaster looks like a big slow cooker. Owing to the option of setting low temperatures, it can also work in a similar way, that is, cook food for a long time. But at the same time, the temperature modes of a roaster oven are more varied, so this device is perfect for baking and roasting. To be exact, you will be able to cook in a slow roaster oven every single recipe you cooked in your traditional oven before. But when compared to a traditional oven, the beef roaster still has a few benefits. It is easier to clean. Owing to the design, the pan roaster is much more cost-efficient, needs less power to heat up and maintain the temperature. It is also more portable, so you can use it wherever there is an access to the power line, like on your backyard patio. The distinctive feature of turkey roasters is their size. You will be able to cook a whole turkey or a 20 lbs chicken, and feed a big party, a company of family and friends. No problem with preparing a festive table for the Christmas, the Thanksgiving day, or another event, with all the relatives gathered around. If you read our best roaster review till the end, we are sure you will find the very turkey roaster oven that is good for you.
The slow cooker is a device similar to the roaster. With it, you will be able to cook any dish that requires a lot of time. It will be a useful addition to your kitchen's everyday appliances thanks to a smaller size.
To quickly cut vegetables or mince meat for various recipes, you may find it useful to have a food processor, and to nicely slice the already cooked meat, electric food slicers will be good.
What Features to Compare
Capacity
The first thing to consider when you purchase a turkey roaster oven is its capacity. You will probably encounter slow roasters with a 6 to 22 quarts capacity the most often. The 6-quart capacity is enough to feed a small family of 3 to 5 people. But the most popular are the 18-quart to 22-quart pan roasters. Using this kind of poultry roaster, you will be able to prepare meat, poultry, vegetable sauces, puddings, or soup to feed not only your family but all the guests who you invited for dinner. The best roaster reviews say that this volume of food is good for 10 to 17 adult servings. Also, these kinds of beef roasters are often used to prepare food for community meals and parties.
Cooking Features
We have already mentioned it before, but the home roasters' cooking features to prepare recipes in various ways are truly extensive. However, depending on the temperature modes your electric roaster oven can manage and its scope of supply, the features can decrease, so pay attention to this too. First and foremost, the chicken roaster is a device, created to roast and bake food, the same as your common oven. In this case, the meal will be prepared in a pan. The pan is included in every cooking roaster.
The average temperature mode to bake meat and poultry ranges between 325°F-450°F. Some turkey roaster models may act as slow cookers, that is, braise food for a long time at approximately 200°F-250°F. This way even the toughest meat will become tender and literally melt in your mouth. Few electric roaster ovens are good for baking puddings, baked rolls, or even bread. The average temperature, in this case, will be 325°F-425°F. Also, it will be great if your meat roaster has a rack to place the baking sheets on when you use the roaster for this. The rack will come in handy when you decide to steam food without an ounce of fat. Just pour some water into the pan, put your meat or veggies on the rack, set the rack on top of the pan. At ~400°F temperature you will after some time get a healthy and tasty meal. The 150°F-200°F temperature will provide for keeping food warm before you dish it up. It is a useful feature if you haven't finished cooking other meals in time. And you can use this setting to warm up the already cooked food.
Convenience
And one more parameter to think about before making a final decision is the convenience of electric roaster oven's use and maintenance. As these devices tend to heat up really bad during cooking, you may want to have non-heating handles. At the same time, remember that a high temperature is just an operational aspect for this type of devices, so be sure to always have an oven cloth within reach.
Then there is an option of having an indicator to notify you when the desired temperature is reached. Specific holders for the lid on the body will be of use when you dish up the meal, as you won't have to look for a place to set the lid. If you are going to cook big chunks of meat or poultry on the rack, having handles there will help you easily lift food from the electric turkey roaster. A removable lid, pan, and rack, when they are easy to wash, drastically simplify the roaster's maintenance. Sometimes you can even wash particular parts in a dishwasher. And to clean the roaster's body it is often enough to just wipe it with a wet cloth.
Every housewife knows that when you cook big slices of meat, the juice released from it must be constantly poured over the meat again. This is made in order to prevent overdrying. But the home roaster will spare you this problem. The tight-fitting lid will not allow the moisture evaporate and will preserve all the food flavors inside. The meat is cooked faster, and yet it is more juicy and tender.
Did you know?
A roaster oven is a multifunctional appliance that can be easily cleaned and is way more energy-efficient as compared to other electric cooktops. Yet, for some reason, people tend to use it mostly for big family holidays only (like Thanksgiving or Christmas) or other special occasions when they cook a lot of food (birthday parties or friendly dinners). So, we would like to share some other ideas on how to make the best use of your roaster.
Make a Full-On Thanksgiving Meal
Of course, one of the best uses for a roaster oven is to cook a whole turkey. Even though some users might worry it won't come out as brown and crispy as from a conventional oven, but we can convince you otherwise. All you need to do is to baste your poultry the same way you do when roasting it in the oven. Plus, there are some models of roasters that already come with self-basting lids that spare you from having to do it. However, a roasted turkey is not the only thanksgiving dish you can cook with the help of a roaster oven.
Making creamy and buttery mashed potatoes will be a breeze with such a kitchen helper too. Add all the potatoes, water, butter, and seasoning of your choice, select the temperature, and close the lid. In a few hours, you will have perfectly soft potatoes that are very easy to mash. And the best thing is that you'll get multiple servings to treat larger groups of guests.
Lots of roasters are also suitable for baking pies to finalize your Thanksgiving dinner. You can cook cheesecakes, fluffy almond pound cake, or a traditional apple pie. Just note that you need to pre-heat the device before baking (basically, same as you do when using a regular oven).
Cook Different Kinds of Meat
Apart from turkey, an electric roaster is good for cooking chicken and any other types of poultry, ribs, steaks, pork, barbeque meat, and even make meatballs with a delicious gravy. On top of that, you can also cook a meat stew in it without much hassle. In this case, the roaster will double as a slow cooker to knock off delicious mouth-melting meat stew for the whole family without much effort and hassle.
Get Perfect Seasoned Rice
With an electric roaster at hand, there is no need to purchase a separate rice cooker. Just clean the rice under the tap water the same way as you do before boiling it, add broth (or water, if you don’t have any), butter, onion or onion powder, and the desired spices. Mix all the ingredients together and let them cook for about one hour. In the end, you will get a batch of soft, fluffy rice.
As you can see, an electric roaster is much more than just a roaster. In fact, it might turn out an irreplaceable kitchen assistant that will make cooking less of a pain in the neck and can add versatility to your family and festive menus.
