The Savory Roaster Post has gotten more comments than any other post on our blog. It seems there are a few people out there who are looking for them. This is for you. I just found a listing for one available on Etsy for $48.00. This is a photo of the one available there. Looks like a nice one to me.

I thought your readers might be interested to know that there were in fact six sizes of Savory roasters made at least in the 1920's, according to an old brochure I have from the time.
The largest were called Hotel size, one oblong & one oval like there smaller sizes. These Hotel sizes would accommodate a thirty five pound roast or a thirty pound bird. I'd never seen one of these giant ones until I found an oval one at a local thrift store yesterday, & after researching, I found an oblong one that had been sold on eBay on 11/16/2010. It is posted on the worthpoint.com website & was titled; "Antique Savory Roaster Patn July 19, 1898". Here are links to pictures of my Hotel (oval) Sized one, the page from my 1920's brochure showing the sizes & the worthpoint page of the Hotel (oblong) Sized one. They both must be quite rare, but then again, how many people need a roaster that big.

I hope worthpoint doesn't mind me posting this link. If they do, you can always do a search for "Antique Savory Roaster Patn July 19, 1898" & find it. I just wanted to spread the knowledge, since I couldn't find any info on these big one outside the old 1920's brochure that I bought off of eBay.
