I used my Westinghouse roaster just this last weekend. My best friend had a birthday picnic and I bought a roaster full of baked beans - I opened the cans myself!!! ;-).
Despite it being sort of a chilly and cloudy day, and no electricity, they stayed nice and warm throughout the meal period (of course I heated them up to about 500 degrees for a while before I left the house.)
My only complaint with them is that you can't lock the lids down, so I had to duct tape it in place for the car ride. Luckily, it left no tape residue

Roaster Trivia
Here's an interesting tidbit. Westinghouse Electric Corporation sold its small appliance division to Scovill in 1972. Scovill, at the time, was the parent company of Hamilton Beach (and NuTone and others too). Anyway, Scovill began making the Westinghouse roaster under the Hamilton Beach name. Up until a few years ago, these were made in the USA and cost $70-$80. In the past few years, Hamilton Beach has moved production to China. Last Christmas I saw the venerable Hamilton Beach (formerly westinghouse) roaster complete with bonus electric knife and buffet server at K-Mart for $29. Luv em' or hate em, those chinks make stuff cheap. Anyway, If you need a lid or an inset pan for an old Westinghouse Roaster, you should be able to scavenge one from a cheap new Hamilton Beach. To the best of my knowledge they're probably using the same dies to stamp 'em out.

I've had a debate with myself, before actually making the move of writing what I'm referring about. I'm sorry but this is supposed to be a fun, educational and helping everyone out Web-Site and not someplace where other Nationalities might be Slandered, from suggestive Slang Terms of their Heritage or Backgound. I'm referring to the prior Thread Posting above from Cadillaceric and hid remark "Luv em' or hate em, those "chinks" make stuff cheap. These people are Chinese and if no one will do anything about this behavior, I'm sorry but I will not only quit Posting Thread Info, I will delete my Membership. I'm not trying to cause any other problems, but I think that "Tongues" and "Brains" need to be studied of what they are thinking or saying, where others are concerned. I'm especially thinking {in terms of thought} what if we might even now have a real nice Chinese person who wants to join our Club and they see what was mentioned and they will not join, thinking that others might follow this pattern as well.
Let's keep respect for other Cultures, Nationalities, etc and keep this Web-Site, clean, fun and good times spent by everyone.
Peace, Respect to others and Cheerful Thread Postings and Hug's, Steve

Jeez! Bite my Head off!
I was merely trying to add some useful information to this thread that I thought would be relevant to the subject at hand. Perhaps before my self-righteous condemnor lambastes my innocent use of a colorful colloquialism in his zealous defense of a foreign communist country (and, by the way, I seem to recall no less a personnage than FDR himself calling the Japanese "Japs"), he should take steps to curb his own butchery of the ENGLISH language including but not limited to misspellings, improper preposition placement, the misuse of capitalization, improper punctuation, and a failure to grasp the definition of "slander". You, sir, have made ME feel unwelcome!
