Staub Vertical Chicken Roaster
The large center spike of this pan radiates heat through the center of a chicken or other poultry for remarkably even cooking. Staub's innovative enamel coating takes cast iron cooking to the next level with improved performance, style and durability. Graphite color selection features glossy multi-coat enameling that ensures strength and heat resistance and creates a vibrantly colored "majolique" finish similar in appearance to fine ceramic for oven-to-table presentation. Matte Black selection features multi-coat enameling with low-gloss matte finish. Resistant to rust, chipping and cracking, the coating requires no additional seasoning like some other cast-iron pieces. The smooth enameled base is compatible with all cooktops including induction. Made in France.

My Favorite Pan!
November 28, 2012
Not exactly a "pan", this roaster is so pretty (I bought the gray) and cleans up very well. My chickens turn out so good. I rub olive oil or butter over chicken first, then use WS Herbs de Provence, and it cooks up so fast due to the center spike. My teenage son's favorite way of having his chicken cooked.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Shape, Design
Cons: Difficult to Store

Great way to roast chicken!
October 20, 2012
I have this pan in black and love the way it roasts chicken. I always use the Dry Brine on the chicken the day before roasting so the bird has a lot of flavor. Heat the pan in the oven while it is preheating so the pan is hot. Note that I place the chicken on the roaster upside down, as shown by Staub. This is the opposite of what people are used to with beer can chicken but it is the best way to get the dark meat done without drying out the breast meat. A little basting with the juices that collect in the pan is all that's needed. As others have noted, there is really not any room to put veggies in the bottom of the pan so take that into account if that's important to you. I won't use any other pan for roasting chicken from now on.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Design, Weight

Ok, but not worth the price
August 28, 2012
I saw an equivalent (or what I thought was the same item until I used it the first time) in a similar magazine. Since we have a local Williams-Sonoma I went right out and purchased this item. The first mistake was thinking I could roast vegetables in the bottom of the base (as you could with the similar item I saw). It is not wide enough for this.
Also, any spices that you rub on outside does not soak into the chicken. So, the chicken is flavorless. Chicken turned out well cooked in a short amount of time and all the drippings are in the bottom of the pan; very healthy. However, for the price of the roaster, I could use a beer can for the same effect. We don't use it very often.

I like it!
February 8, 2012
I used it in my Italian brick oven. Can tell how done the bird is by watching the drips if fat roll off the bottom of the bird. When the drips slow the bird is done.
Th ebird cooks pretty evenly. Bird was very moist and tender.

Okay, but heavy!
September 29, 2011
Works very well and typical Staub quality. The dawback is its 5lb weight. Add to that a 5-6lb chicken and you have a 10-12 lb hot load to carry around.
Gotta tell you...the 16 oz beer can of your choice still works incredibly well...
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean
Cons: Weight, Difficult to Store

WOW! New Favorite Pan!
August 22, 2011
We received this as a shower gift and I roasted my first chicken ever yesterday with it. It was amazing. The pan has a nice weight to it and holds heat very well.
It is almost idiotproof, season chicken, place chicken onto pan, bake chicken.
I seasoned the chicken with olive oil and salt, pepper and onion powder inside and out. Roasted it for 10 minutes of 450, dropped it down to 350 for 40 minutes, and back up to 450 for 10 minutes. Let it rest for 15 minutes. filled the bottom with veggies and let them roast too! Yum! Easy clean up after it cooled but was still a tad bit warm.

So worth it!
June 15, 2011
I wasn't in the market for a chicken roaster and I'm usually not a fan of specialized kitchen equipment but in this case, I made an exception. This roaster makes it so easy to roast a chicken. The chicken comes out evenly cooked, juicy and ALL of the skin is super crispy. I also like that it doesn't spatter all over the oven. The juices just run down the chicken and make it moist and flavorful. You can't make pan sauce in this roaster but the spouts make it easy to pour the juices into another pan to make sauce or gravy. Its small enough to conveniently fit in the oven but it can hold a rather large bird (the first chicken I roasted was almost 6 pounds). Clean up was easy too.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Color, Easy to Store

Perfect roast chicken every time
May 11, 2011
I have had this for several months now and I use it at least once a week to roast a chicken. It is my easy - no fail - chicken roaster. Juicy chicken, crisp skin and happy diners every single time. I will never roast a chicken in a regular roaster again and wish there was a supersized version for turkey's! (Hello Staub, can you hear me?)
For me, I just wash and dry the chicken, lube it with a little bit of butter under the skin, sprinkle and pat the outside with spices (salt, pepper, onion powder, granulated garlic, italian seasoning) and into a 350 degree oven for an hour to an hour and a half depending on the size of the chicken. When it comes out of the oven, I put it on a platter, and tent it with foil while the side dishes finish. Perfect every time.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Design

Best chicken roaster
May 10, 2011
I got this for Christmas and have used it countless times. It is the easiest way to roast a crispy chicken with very little prep. We call it the "chicken impaler" at our house. Throw some baby potatoes in the bottom of the dish which will be basted by the chicken juices as they cook. My cupboards were already full of stuff so yes, I did think about the necessity of getting something that only cooks chickens, but I assure you, you won't regret it. Most useful kitchen tool I've purchased in years.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Size, Design, best chicken roaster
Cons: Difficult to Store

The Holy Grail of Roasting Chicken
April 27, 2011
Wow! Just wow! This is the best chicken roaster I have ever used! I tried roasting a chicken on my All-Clad Stainless Steel roaster about a year ago, which resulted in complete failure. The reviews of this product looked good, so I gave it a shot. Despite the fact that it did not come with an instruction manual, I used a roast chicken recipe and cooked the most tender, delicious with crispy skin on the outside chicken I have ever had. The meat literally would fall off of the bone it was so tender and this was after about 75 minutes in the oven. I put carots, onions, celery and apples in the lip portion with chicken stock and white wine. I rubbed the chicken with olive oil and garlic (no marinade time) and after 75 minutes at 415 degrees - perfection. Just make sure to heat up the roaster in the oven when you turn the oven on. Enjoy!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Shape, Design, delicious
Cons: no instruction manual

A must have roaster!
March 20, 2011
This is the perfect chicken roaster. The skin will brown evenly (depending on your oven) and the meat will fall off the bone. Plus, the chicken does not cook in it's own oil mess as with a traditional horizontal roasting pan. I usually cook a medium chicken for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours at 325, and bring temp up to 400 for 10-15 minutes. I like my chicken well done. Then don't forget to let stand for 15 min. This Staub piece cleans up in a snap. A must have! Love it!

One of the best cooking utensils in my kitchen!
January 25, 2011
I purchased this roaster after reading other's claims of its performance. After receiving it, I immediately went to the market and purchased a nice, 6 lbs. bird. I followed the roasting instructions provided, adding a rosemary and garlic rub. To my amazement, this was the most juicy chicken I have ever roasted. The breast meat was so juicy that juice was visible while slicing the meat, The outside was a 'roasted crispy' texture and was delicious. I would highly recommend this roaster!

Best of the Best
September 26, 2010
Use your preferred spices to rub chicken along with olive oil. We use Tony Cacheres cajun spice-original.
Bake your chicken at 400 degrees in oven for 1-1/2 to 2 hours depending on size. 170 degrees with meat thermometer between breast and thigh of chicken. Place red potatoes, celery and sweet onion on tray with a half can of beer. Pull chicken out of oven and let stand for 15-20 minutes before carving. PERFECTION!
The perfect chicken.
