electric roaster

Plugged-in roasting pan

An electric roaster is a countertop cooking appliance—essentially a portable oven with a heating element and removable roasting pan inside a covered housing.

It roasts turkeys, bakes casseroles, and slow-cooks large cuts of meat without heating up the main oven: We use the electric roaster for Thanksgiving when the oven is full.
