As a father of two high school athletes, I’ve developed a strong interest in proper nutrition. My sons regularly come home from practice ready to devour anything in sight. I don’t want them eating junk food though; I take great pride in making sure my boys have access to food that’s not only delicious but nutritious.
Young athletes have a critical need for lean protein to enhance recovery. The vertical poultry roaster has been an absolute life saver in this regard. Using our vertical stainless-steel roaster, you can grill up to a 12-lb. chicken or turkey to perfection. Filling the vented center cone with wine, beer or water ensures that the meat emerges moist with a crisp golden skin. I regularly grill up a 10 to 12-lb. chicken to perfection. Fat drips away into the wide perforated base pan, which is designed for grilling vegetables at the same time. The result has been two happy, healthy, and extremely well-fed star athletes!
