Can you boil water in a roaster?

You can't boil water in a roaster in the traditional sense. Roasters are designed for dry heat cooking like roasting meat, vegetables, or nuts. They don't have the capability to boil water because:

* No direct heat source: Roasters typically rely on convection heating, where hot air circulates around the food. They don't have a heating element or burner to directly heat water.

* Limited water capacity: Roasters are usually shallow and not designed to hold large volumes of water.

* Safety concerns: Placing a pot of water inside a roaster could lead to overheating, potential fire hazards, or damage to the appliance.

Instead of trying to boil water in a roaster, use a stovetop kettle, saucepan, or electric kettle for this purpose.
