Hamilton Beach Roaster Oven rack?
I just inherited a roaster oven from my Grandma. It's a very large one, probably 18-22 qts, and about 10-15 year old. Anyway, there is no instruction booklet and I'm not sure of the operating instructions.
The question I have is about the rack insert. It is a flat rack and it seems to just sit on the bottom of the roaster pan. I can't see any way to place the rack higher so as to not let the meat sit in it's own juices while cooking. Can someone please help?

the rack is for lifting turkey, large cuts of meat etc.out to cut and serve. also if you use it to bake it keeps the pan off the bottom of roaster so that the heat circulates around it more.
Water in the bottom of the roaster will steam the turkey rather than dry bake it, particularly when you leave the lid on the roaster. I wouldn't say it's wrong though. It will probably keep the turkey moist.
