I bought two for our barony for 12th night, to add to the two we already 
had. And I bought one for me, and borrowed two more, because we couldn't 
actually use the stoves or ovens at the site. You can do losyns for 200 in 
two roasters, and caboches en potage in one. Roasters are wonderful 
things. They are basically giant crock pots with temperature control. I 
used them as a combination of ovens and warming pans, depending on which 
part of the feast it was and whether the food item had been pre-cooked or 
not.
