When I want a perfectly roasted chicken with a juicy interior and crispy skin, I grab a vertical roaster every time. This hammered cast iron vertical roaster is modeled after the very successful beer can chicken technique, but with a pan below to catch all the delicious drippings. Turn those drippings into a gravy, or throw your favorite vegetables and let them roast along with the chicken. The removable center cup is there to hold liquid and aromatic ingredients to flavor your chicken from the inside out. The fact that it’s removable lets you take it out before pouring off the drippings below and to make the pan easier to clean.

General Instructions
When using the Blue Jean Chef Hammered Cast Iron Vertical Roaster in the oven, begin by placing the oven rack in the lowest position and preheat oven to the desired temperature. While the oven or grill is heating up, place the Stainless-Steel Center Cup into the top of the Center Cone and then add desired herbs and spices. Add stock or wine to the Cup to create steam and flavor while roasting. Place the chicken onto the Center Cone and then place it in the oven, following your favorite vertical chicken recipe instructions. The cast iron construction of the Blue Jean Chef Hammered Cast Iron Vertical Roaster conducts heat evenly to cook the chicken inside and out. As the heated air in the oven roasts the outside, the Center Cone sears the inner cavity while excess fats and juices flow into the Drip Pan below. The Blue Jean Chef Hammered Cast Iron Vertical Roaster is oven safe to 500° F. Do not use in a microwave. The handles on your Roaster will get very hot during use. Use a potholder or oven mitt AT ALL TIMES. The Hammered Cast Iron Vertical Roaster comes pre-seasoned; however, it will require regular re-seasoning. Instructions are included in the included Use and Care Manual.
