I ordered this primarily to bake bread in, of all things. The reason is because of it's ability to hold the steam generated from the dough and also for the height of the dome shape to allow the bread to rise as much as possible, which it does brilliantly without any problem. Artisan or even normal bread bakers know or should know, that steam is a must to produce an excellent well risen loaf of bread. The steam of course keeps the dough moist for much longer enabling it to rise dramatically in size just as a commercial steam oven will do. My fan oven will not keep the steam in there and in sufficient quantity for long enough, even with a water tray in the bottom,

I bought this because the price was so good and I already own one and wouldn't be without it - so this was a just in case purchase. I have always been nervous of undercooking chickens and consequently I used to overcook every one, until my husband's aunt recommended using one of these. The bird is protected from drying out and you can see how well it's cooking through the Pyrex. I am also nervous of cooking turkeys for all the same reasons and as a result I am in danger of drying out the bird. However I did get a small turkey once that I was able to fit in this roaster and cook with confidence. The most successful I've ever been with a turkey. Perhaps I should suggest to Pyrex that they make one of these big enough for a medium sized turkey.

I really like this item, it is more highly priced than some Pyrex but I think that is because it's a large piece and infact is two dishes in one, which can be used independently of each other.Good quality, yes I would have the handles bigger, but they are called easy grip. love the way it is good for your food to cook in this.Is way more than just a roaster, good for many things like casserole and smaller pieces of meat that may spit. I am sure I will find many uses.It was well packed as well. Larger than I expected too.Note* finding it great, but best not to use it the other way up from pictured as very hard to operate handles that way.Plus you need to make good space between the shelves due

A kitchen MUST. This has completely revolutionized the way I roast chicken. Always use a good quality organically raised chook in the first place, but trust me, this will be the best roast chicken, you will EVER make. Some herbs, criss-cross with a couple of pieces of smoked bacon - no fat, no butter, take the dome off for the last 20 mins to crisp.The beauty of this roaster, is that you can use it for all your roast joints, and that you can use the lid as a shallow dish for roasting potatoes or chippies, and use the roaster as a casserole dish.It cleans up really well, and if you make sure you get every speck off, this will look pristine for its life,

Brilliant for roasting a good sized chicken or other medium joint.Keeps in all the moisture and develops a huge quantity of juices in the bottom so we usually suck most of that out with a turkey baster and keep it in a jug ready for making a delicious gravy at the end.Chickens tend to come out a bit pale so we usually remove the lid for the last 30 mins.Very easy to clean of course, like all Pyrex items.We have had one of these for years, so bought a second to give to our boy for taking to uni. He has shown a bit of interest in roasting things, and hopefully this will help to keep his oven a little bit cleaner than otherwise.

We had one of these for many years but for the past decade or so the one we had seemed to disappear from our cupboards. Maybe something to do with having a vegetarian in the family.Recently I have wanted to eat a wider variety of meats and more of them, and this Pyrex roaster helps cook them well while preventing the oven from becoming artexed with grease splashes.It is a good idea to clean it totally after use as a build-up of cooking fats can be difficult to remove if left there to be double and treble baked. At the time it is easy to clean.Essential for me to have this and as such I recommend it. I'm not going to lose this one.

Bought this to roast chicken. A 2.1 kg one fits in nicely on a trivet so it isnt sitting in its juice. Resultant chicken lovely and moist and no mess in oven. The casserole sits along side a small pyrex dish so can roast vegetables separately. Pyrex so cleans beautifully.Only negative. I did a tagine in the lid where the recipe calls for it to be covered towards the end and used the base as a lid. When i came to serve, it was difficult to get the base off as the lid has larger handles. Hence one star off for versatility. Next time ill cook the tagine using the base!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant. I would not hesitate in buying another. I roast often usually with good old foil paper covering the baking tray, then of course the foil becomes torn and little use once you have repeat the action until your poultry is cooked. All i had to do was peer into the oven. With the Pyrex - and I am a life long fan of the product as my mother used to use it - it's sturdy, hard wearing, washes and cleans well....well via the dishwasher as I don't do washing up per se. Love this product. I will now be discarding my tin baking trays.

bought this to replace the old style enamel one which was getting increasingly difficult to keep clean properly.Arrived in superb packaging and right on time.actually we love this as a piece of essential kitchen equipment.Being able to see the contents whilst cooking is a major factor .Keeping it clean is another,it is so easy & saves a lot of time & effort.Other commentators have remarked about size of handles making lifting awkward-trying lifting it round the circumference with decent ovenn gloves-"that's the way to do it"

Wonderful Chicken roaster. I cook many other things in this roaster. When you roast a chicken there is a lot of broth and the chicken is so moist. This item comes from England. Arrived perfect. This is a Pyrex item so it will be good for a lifetime. I had one for over 20 years and broke it, made me so sad but was glad to be able to get another one!!. This will hold the largest chicken you can find to roast...it will brown nicely in this roaster.. Easy clean up in your dishwasher. Nothing to scrub off.

I was delighted to find Pyrex still made this roasting dish as my old one had been broken. I use it for roasting everything apart from the Christmas turkey! It’s far less messy than a tin with foil over and much easier to clean. This new version is a slight improvement over the old one in that the dome is a little higher and the “handles” are a bit bigger so it’s easier to handle in and out of the oven. It was a bit hard to track down on the website though.

This makes really excellent roast chicken. I’d give it 5 stars for how well it cooks. It’s also really easy to clean and it’s essentially two glass dishes for the price of one, as you can use the lid as a cooking dish.However, it’s really annoying to get the lid off when it’s hot, I sometimes have to slide a knife between the two layers to get some leverage because it’s not easy to just lift it straight up when you’re using oven gloves.

Makes lovely moist roast but it takes longer to cook, I normally raise temperature to 190-200 C and cook an extra 20 minutes or so. Presume this varies by oven. A little hard to get in and out of the oven when hot as handles small, but wouldn't fit otherwise. Cleans well in dishwasher, keeps the oven clean.The first one bought had a chipped handle despite being well wrapped but was replaced promptly and with no quibbles.

Really enjoy using this. Cooks and cleans easily and is very deep. As yet, any chicken I've cooked in it hasn't taken up the full capacity (It could take a big bird!), so I'd consider doing a large Christmas turkey in this too. If any design 'flaw' exists, I'd say it's in the shallow depth of the lid anchoring. It fits but easily moves if pushed; a deeper recess could give the design a much better lid grip.

I own other Pyrex dishes and have used them for years knowing they are so easy to clean and that even baked on food will come off after a good soaking. At Christmas, the duck we had was stuck to the lid of the enamel roaster so I bought this straight afterwards to ensure I can always see any birds cooking. Both top and bottom can also be used separately. Should have bought one years ago!
