roaster

Pan for poultry

A roaster is a container or appliance designed for roasting food, especially meat: The turkey went into the roaster at noon.

It also refers to something suitable for roasting—a chicken labeled "roaster" is older and larger than a fryer.

In coffee, a roaster is either the machine that roasts beans or the person or company that does so.

Informally, a roaster is an event where someone is humorously mocked by friends: a celebrity roast, We're throwing a roaster for his retirement.
