I'm finally moving myself to get a roaster.  When I get a big chuck roast and want to put in a lot of vegetables, I need more room.  For turkeys, I buy those disposable aluminum turkey roasting containers.  I don't want to constantly use those and create a footprint.

I found a nice covered stainless one on William Sonoma, just $199.00!  I can do better on amazon for sure.

I've used electric roasters for at least thirty years and I think that's an expensive roaster ( WS usually is). You should be able to find a Nesco or a Rival for easily under $100.

I use an enamel coated Dutch oven. I also use a Curtis Stone deep multi pan. I've recently been forgoing all pans and using my rotisserie feature in my countertop oven. When I scaled my kitchen items down, I discarded my roasting pan. I don't miss it.

@ECBG  We bought a Circulon at Costco several years ago for about $18-$20. It's very heavy and comes with a nice V-rack but no lid. I always use it for Thanksgiving turkey. For some reason, the turkeys always cook much faster in this roaster (at least an hour less). Before this roaster I used the throw-aways as well. I like this one because I can cook the juices on the stove top when making gravy.

I use a Cuisinart pan that came with a rack.  Bought many years ago at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

black speckled roasting pan with lid. tons of space for a large chuck roast or two PLUS multiple vegetables. i do sear the floured and seasoned meat  on all sides on the stove prior to putting it into the pan. i then deglaze the pan with red wine or beer and add it to the roasting pan. also good for roasting chickens and turkeys.

its an older roaster, but does such a fantastic job of keeping everything moist and flavorful. it is also not heavy at all. i add potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery usually. everyone invites themselves over for dinner. LOL

I have had a cheap-o 18 quart roaster for about 20 years.  Drag it out every Thaniksgiving and Christmas and have LOVED it!!  Last year after Christmas I bought a brand new one in red (oh yeah!) mainl because it has a window in the lid and I can now see things.  I love this thing.  This year I re-heated an eight lb Turkey breast and it turned out perfect!  Mty old one cooked Turkeys, Hams (especially good) and I only paid about $39 for it.  Forget the maker because it was so cheap, but I've been extremely happy with it!!  Good luck, get the one you love!  They're great.....

Who can afford to buy a large chuck roast?  I'd have to mortgage the honestead.

Thank you.  I wouldn't buy cookware at this point from WS.  I wouldn't want a "show piece" because I don't serve that way when DS, DIL, and the 2 GS are here.

I am, however, the cook of the family and am teaching our 14 yr old GS to cook.

Really like that one from amazon and don't want a top of the counter roaster.  I do have a large crock pot.

I was just thinking the same thing while looking through the King Soopers (our Krogers in Denver) weekly ad.  Bottom Round Roast 4.99 / lb, why so much?  I thought round was used for a pot roast meal as it is an economy cut.  

Kings also has ribeyes on sale for 5.97 lb which is a better cut; that's a good price.  I just don't get it.
