Roasters (7 items found)

Roasting brings out the flavor of meats and poultry, and with the right small appliances in your kitchen, you don't even need to turn on your oven to employ this classic cooking method. An electric roaster provides a convenient alternative to oven roasting. Shop an assortment of roaster ovens online at Ace Hardware and prepare to whip up everyday meals or entertain guests.

What Is an Electric Roaster?

Electric roasters are small appliances that maximize your countertop usage, just like food dehydrators and griddles. Bigger than toaster ovens, they make it possible to roast beef roasts, ham, whole turkey, whole chicken and other large foods. No matter what meats you prefer, after cooking you can easily get deli-like meat slices with a meat slicer. For holiday meals and dinner parties, an electric roaster oven can free up space in your conventional oven for cooking side dishes. You can also use roasters to cook your favorite foods for everyday dinners.  

How to Select a Roaster Oven

When shopping for an electric roaster oven, consider the following characteristics to help you select the right model for your home cooking needs.

Small and Large Electric Roasters

Measured in quarts, the capacity gives you an idea of how much space there is inside of each roaster oven. If you frequently prepare food for a large crowd, look for a 16 or 18 qt. electric roaster. A smaller 6 qt. roaster is often sufficient for making meals for a single family.

Steel and Porcelain Roaster Oven Models

Porcelain roaster ovens distribute heat efficiently to reduce hot spots and promote even cooking. Steel models are ultra-durable and lighter than porcelain options, which makes them easier to handle. While both can last a long time, special maintenance care is needed to prevent scratches, chips and cracks.

Versatile Temperature Settings on Roasters

Roaster ovens usually have an adjustable thermostat for setting the temperature, but their temperature ranges vary. If you want to use your new roaster to slow cook as well as roast, be sure to choose a model with minimum temperatures between 250 degrees or lower.

Black, White & Red Roaster Ovens

If you'll be keeping your electric roaster on the countertop permanently, consider the finish color of the available models. You may wish to choose a classic black or white hue that coordinates with your cabinets and other appliances, or add a pop of color with a red electric roaster.
