The ultimate chicken roaster

A perfect roast chicken can make for a delicious meal and the Ultimate Chicken Roaster, from All-Clad, promises to deliver perfection every time.

A reusable way to tie up your turkey

A few days ago, I decided to roast a chicken for dinner. I looked up a recipe I hadn't tried yet, took my time to make a delicious-smelling herb rub that I stuffed underneath the skin and inside the cavity of the bird, and when the time came to lace up the chicken and put it in the oven, I realized that I had no string.

The SensorfreshQ meat and poultry tester is a handheld, battery-operated wand that tells you whether or not that uncooked piece of meat or poultry is still OK for you to put into your mouth. Perfect timing, since summer is when grilling … Read more

Beer makes for a better roast bird

The real problem has been poultry, though--it would benefit from the added moisture, but a bird can just be awkward to work with.

Camp Chef has come out with the Keg Roaster to provide your roast chicken with that added kick. The design is fairly simple: Inside … Read more
