Napa Style Ceramic Roaster

I mentioned using a cone roaster in my Thanksgiving post from a few days ago, and a few people wanted to know more about it. I purchased mine from Napa Style. If you aren't familiar with Napa Style, it is the line of products sold by the Food Network's Michael Chiarello.

A couple of years ago I saw him making a chicken with one and thought it would be a nice addition to my cooking arsenal. It actually cooks your meat both inside and out, so it takes a lot less time to cook overall. The one I purchased is ceramic and they also come in metal, or you can even do something similar with a beer can.

When I started my search for a ceramic roaster a few years back, the only one I could find was the one from Napa Style. But now a quick search seems to turn up several options. You can also get just the cone piece, but I really like how mine has the dish below for roasting vegetables. The vegetables absorb a lot of flavor from the juices that run down.
