hi guys just wanted to um do a quick
0:06
video um I got this from I don't know if
0:09
you can see it um it's pretty big box
0:12
it's a small appliance well it's not
0:16
small since the since the box seems to
0:18
be a bit bigger than me but my sister
0:22
Erica got me this
0:25
small appliance it's in um it's a 20
0:29
quart selfbasting roster oven and I'm
0:33
trying to figure out if it does work if
0:36
it works I will certainly write a
0:39
product review and to make sure that you
0:42
benefit from it also because I think um
0:47
it's it it might be great to roast and
0:50
especially during the holidays if you're
0:54
cooking a lot and there's a lot of
0:55
dishes that you have to create a lot of
0:58
side dishes that requires you to bake or
1:01
roast uh and we all know how turkeys and
1:05
hams are huge and um it's easier to have
1:10
something that you can put on your
1:12
counter to uh roast a chicken or a
1:17
turkey or a ham or leg of lamb uh
1:21
whatever that you want to uh roast but
1:23
um I just wanted to see how this works
1:26
and I will tell you how it is so I'm
1:29
going to show you the inside okay so
1:32
come over
1:35
the roster is about 23 to 24 in in
1:39
height and 11 to 12 in in width the
1:43
knobs controls the temperature and the
1:46
setting starts from keep warm and up to
1:50
450°
1:52
with a defrost setting which I haven't
1:56
um tried yet when removing the roster
2:00
from the box I did notice the length of
2:02
the cord and it seems to be the
2:05
complaint of many people because the
2:07
cord is very short you definitely need
2:10
to have an outlet on your counter wall
2:12
to avoid using an extension cord this is
2:16
the inside of the roster it includes a
2:20
removable rack which is great and helps
2:23
in removing your meat or poultry
2:27
i decided to roast the chicken with a
2:29
wet marinade so I so it could have lots
2:34
of flavor
2:36
all right guys this is the moment of
2:38
truth um I already checked it and as you
2:41
can see woo a lot of uh bugs the
2:48
chicken actually overcooked
2:51
so since this is my first try with this
2:55
roster oven so you can see we definitely
2:58
need to do some adjustments and figure
3:01
out um the timing for any type of meats
3:05
okay so this is the inside of the roster
3:08
oven and this is what is left of the
3:11
liquid from um after cooking the chicken
3:15
and this is the rack that I wanted to
3:16
show you up close it has two hand
3:19
handles and that allows you to lift up
3:21
the the meat and um put it on your
3:25
platter so if you are still thinking
3:29
about buying this I would suggest that
3:31
you really think twice about it because
3:34
uh it does take a lot it does take a lot
3:36
of room it's huge um as you can see it's
3:39
really big it's really uh
3:43
large it takes a lot of room on the
3:45
counter and I'm sure I'm going to have
3:46
to figure out how to uh where to put it
3:49
to store it um but this is the the
3:52
chicken doesn't that looks really nice
3:55
um the sauce is made with the leftover
4:01
um spices cuz I rever I reserved some of
4:04
the spices and I did onion and um and a
4:08
little bit of white wine and um so this
4:11
is it it tastes delicious i hope you
4:14
like this review and uh let me know what
4:16
you think and if you have tried it and I
4:19
will see you soon bye-bye
