Every family gathering time, I've had to 'schedule' oven time to try to get hams, turkeys, and other baked foods ready so that they're all as deliciously, freshly cooked and at the right serving temperature as possible. This Thanksgiving, this roaster helped me meet those requirements much more easily.  The ham went in the roaster on Wednesday while I used my oven to bake pies.  On Thursday, I used the roaster for the turkey, freeing the oven for dressing and sweet potato soufflé.  The rack saved quite a bit of struggling in lifting out the ham and turkey at the end of roasting time, while the cook well was wonderful both for being able to pour up the drippings.  Cleanup took only a couple of minutes for the cook well.
I am now looking forward to other big family dinners instead of spinning my wheels trying to think of ways to not participate!!
