Abstract
Abstract An adjustable roaster basket is described, adapted to support a turkey or other meat item while being roasted. The basket includes a bottom grill and a pair of side members. Each side member includes a pair of parallel horizontal rods at the lower end which is slidably supported by the bottom grill to increase or decrease the distance between the sides. When the basket is removed from the roaster and placed upon a serving platter, the sides may be removed to expose the turkey for carving.
