Broiler pan

There are just 2 of us. I have a cheap round stainless steel roaster. I happened to see one at this site http://www.waterbroiler.com. It seems pretty good, although a little expensive. I hate cleaning the broiler pan that came with the oven. Anbody have a opinions regarding this pan?

Thanks

Hi,

I see these from time to time at rummage sales. I bought mine for maybe a dollar. It came without instructions though I did look at their website. I haven't used the water in it, though I have broiled and roast foods in and on it. I like the small size because like you I don't always have a crowd to feed.

Regards,

HI,

This evening I cooked two chicken quarters to the manufacturers instructions: I added 1.5 cups cold water, arranged my chicken and let it blast away at 500 degrees. The open arrangement of the grill allowed the fat to drip into the pan. There was no visible steam, there was no spitting of fat. Toward the end, I added some BBQ sauce (from Smoque) then broiled it for a few minutes to carmelize and char a bit.

When they were finished, I took the chicken and left the pan in the oven with the door open. If I had pulled it out immediately, then cleaning would have been easier because the extra time allowed the residue to bake on. Yet a few strokes with a coarse brass pad got rid of the gunk.

It works as promised by the manufacturer. It is well made, though $50 seems like a steep price.

Regards,

If you have a lot of friends, you can pick up 8 of them for $130 at Overstock.com

Cathy2,

How did your chicken turn out with the broiler pan?
