I'm thinking you may need a bigger version if the MiL is slow on thinning the flock for rooster dinners.Roger A.

Could be a good thing. But with a toddler about, we won't make any experiments. I read with interest this site: http://www.albc-usa.org/documents/cookingwheritagechicken.pdf<br /><br />The last puffed-up Perdue roaster I bought was so tasteless that the steel entered my soul.
