- Daniel Boulud Cast Iron 5-Quart Oval Roaster
- I was looking for a roaster that was sized to receive an Oven Stuffer Roaster for purposes of making Salt Baked Chicken. I started out with the 3-quart size which was too small, but the 5-quart is just about 1 inch larger around than an Oven Stuffer Roaster which is just about ideal. I agree with previous reviewer that the height could be slightly higher, but it did barely clear "the bird". Nicely designed cooking vessel for price charged. Seems ideal for chicken/fowl. Interior dimensions are 11" long x 8 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" high.

- Well done enameled roaster
- I had looked at the le Creuset pots and found them ludicrously expensive (overpriced in my view). A cast iron, enameled pan is not made of unusually expensive materials and does not seem likely to require an unusual amount of processing, so it probably should be fairly inexpensive.
The Boulud roaster, which I believe I read elsewhere is made by Sabatier, is an excellent enameled iron pot, with simple but functional handles and lid. I got it for poaching chickens, and it is just about the right size for that, though if I had my way, I would like one of the same cross-section but with higher sides so that it would hold a roaster or hen comfortably. The oval shape is nice for reducing the amount of liquid necessary for poaching, which requires less reduction at the finish.
The interior is enameled as well, which was not clear in the description. - 2006-03-09, 10 of 10 people found this review helpful, Rated:
