Glazed Terracotta Roaster
Product number: 15195
Cooking in a terracotta pot ensures tasty, tender results every time, and this Glazed Terracotta Roaster is no different.
It’s really easy to use; soak in cold water for 10 minutes, add your meat and place in a cold oven. As the oven heats, the food cooks slowly in its own juices, almost baking and steaming at the same time – when we roasted a chicken it was so moist and juicy, the meat practically fell off the bone!
Vitamins and nutrients are preserved, producing a deliciously browned, tender joint without adding any fat or oils. It’s not just for joints of meat; it cooks chops, fish and casseroles beautifully too.
Designed for practicality, the base on this roaster has a glazed interior that makes it really easy to clean, and it includes a couple of recipes to get your started.
Oven safe up to 240°C.
35 x 20 x 19cm H. (13¾" x 8" x 7½").

I bought one of these to cook chickens for my dogs - I have a dog with a special low fat diet. I put the chicken in the roaster with some water and cook overnight in the slow oven of my AGA. In the morning there is loads of stock around a beautifully cooked chicken that just falls off the bone, making it really easy for me to bone it.
I bought this item about three years ago and have to say that I wish I hadn't bothered. I used it three or four times when I first bought it and found the chicken was either undercooked or dry on the top. The roaster is so large it's really difficult to store as it feels quite flimsy and is likely to crack/chip easily if knocked by other pots, so I have to keep it in its original box on top of the fridge. Really disappointed.
Thank you for placing your review. We're sorry to hear you've been disappointed with this product and will be in touch soon.
On the plus side this dish is... Easy to clean. Easily fits large size chicken. Cooks food so that it is very moist and tender. It is however awkward when removing from the oven as it doesn't have a grip to grab hold of so you end up placing your hands (obviously using a oven glove) around the body of the dish and hoping you don't drop it. Depending on what your cooking the dish can be quite heavy. I'm probably going to send this back.
We'd recommend the safest way using oven gloves to lift and remove this popular product is to take both sides or ends and simultaneously hold the lid edges with your thumbs and base with the remainder of your hand. This will give you a strong hold on the roaster.
After a false start with a faulty one, with which Lakelands customer service was amazing, I used this a couple of evenings ago. PERFECT! THe most moist chicken we have ever experienced. I do not understand the other reviews saying it is too small, I got the largest chicken the supermarket had into it which fed 6 people along with some root veg around it. If they made it much bigger it would not fit into many domestic ovens. This is my new favourite way of cooking a chicken and I'll be trying other things out in it soon. A great purchase.
I have used this roaster about four or five times since it arrived 3 weeks ago and although I think it is good I am still not convinced that the food is as tender as I was expecting or lead to believe, or as brown as I hoped.I think it is a generous size and yes it is a little on the heavy side. I bought it because I was fed up with the oven getting splashed with fat in an open roaster,and for that it is perfect. I am experimenting with longer cooking times to see if that helps the tenderness of the meat.
