Check Out This Roaster…

I love to try new things in the kitchen – new herbs, tools, or ingredients. Many times I fall back on the old and the familiar, because they are easy and save time, but I think a good cook tries new things, challenges themself.
Here’s one of those opportunities – Williams-Sonoma is carrying a new type of roaster for chicken. It looks like something you’d see in a lab.
It’s made by All-Clad and it features a detachable arm that hangs above the roaster pan. The arm has a reservoir that can be filled with flavor infusers such as wine, beer, or citrus. The arm holds the chicken clear of the pan so that the outside browns evenly, the inside cooks evenly. The juices drip off into the pan and you can fill that area with vegetables for roasting.
The pan has a triple-ply bonded metal construction. The core is aluminum, with layers of stainless steel fused around it. The arm works with all the other All-Clad flared roasters and it will support up to an 8 pound bird. With the arm connected, the roaser measures 14 1/2″ x 11 3/4″ x 2 1/2″ high.
All-Clad Ultimate Chicken Roaster
Suggested price $250, sells at Williams-Sonoma for $179.95

I couldn’t figure it out until I saw the bottom picture and then I thought – Oh, that’s so cool looking. I can’t afford it, but it sure is cool.
I can’t either, but I sure wish I could. I might need a bigger oven though – that thing looks huge. Thanks very commenting!
