Go figure three days before Thanksgiving my oven heating element breaks. The bottom element just snapped into two pieces and left a white residue at the broken spot. Since it's an old oven (Hotpoint?? looks like it's from the 60's with woodgrain trim on the top!) no one can get an element for me before the holiday so I had to go buy a turkey roaster, which was rather inexpensive so I am grateful for that. ($24 for GE and can hold up to an 18lb turkey and cook rolls and fruit pies) It looks very similar to a crock pot with the temperature control ranging from 200-450 degrees so I assume that it will work like a real oven just having WAY less room!
I have several concerns with this roaster being my main source of cooking this Thanksgiving...
Will my pumpkin pie cook in this thing?
Can I cook my green bean casserole in a crockpot and just stick it under the broiler to brown the top and what is your opinion on how long to cook that?
It's just DH and I so I am not too concerned but I still would like to have a nice dinner for the two of us. Please let me know of anything else you can think of that I should think about!
