Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Look for a removable insert. Whenever you're buying a small appliance, you want something that is easy to clean. Having a removable insert means that you'll be able to easily cleanup after your holiday meal.
Step2
Make sure the unit comes with a removable roasting rack. A removable roasting rack allows you to easily lift turkeys, hams and even roasts out of your roaster oven. This makes carving the meat even easier.
Step3
Take size into consideration. This is one small appliance that works for single bachelors and large families. You can find roaster ovens ranging in size from 4 to 22 quarts. This means you can roast a small chicken or a 24-lb. turkey. One of the most popular sizes is an 18 quart model that will allow you to make a large turkey without taking up too much space.
Step4
Choose a brand you can trust. There are several companies that make this small appliance, but you must remember that price isn't the most important factor. You should instead choose a brand you can trust. Look for a company that makes appliances you already own.
Step5
Find online reviews. Before making your final purchase, make sure the model you're about to buy is a good choice. Online reviews will give you an unbiased overview of the pros and cons of that particular model. Some reviews may even give you suggestions on which model you should buy.
