I went with the roaster myself b/c the one I had from Walmart was flaking and i was afraid to use it. I baked my Thanksiging turhey in ours and loves it. Amazing clean up! Even after sitting all day befor I washed it. I was a little disappointed that it was not as deep as i thought it would be. My old one was very deep but this one was bot as deep. It is still big enough I just was surprised about that when I got it.
I kept asking myself if I should get the Bamboo Carving board and I decided not to get it because the one I got as a wedding gift 5 years ago has been used maybe once.

I'm excited. I think you can use that so much more than the carving board!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Roaster! I used it for Thanksgiving, and I couldn't believe how easy it cleaned up! A few swipes with a soapy sponge, and it was done! Wowee! I have used it for Caramel Corn, and to make a big batch of Sloppy Joes when a bunch of guys were here to help my husband re-roof the house, and to make a Double Batch (!) of Molten Chocolate Skillet Brownie for a large show.....so many uses!

If you're planning to host another show in January, I'd get the carving board now and the roaster in January. Having the carving board to actually hold and touch really sells it and sells bookings for it.
However, I voted for the roaster because it is so incredibly versatile. Not only can you roast a chicken and a roast at the same time because the rack holds it out of the juices, it will make a huge batch of lasagna or enchiladas. On the stove it is a double burner griddle for grilled cheese, pancakes, french toast, etc. It is the same volume as the stockpot, so you can do a giant batch of soup or stew, or use it for soups at your shows. You can use it to boil water for the Ziploc Omelet shows- all the omelets will fit in at once! It's way better than the 12" skillet because it can brown the entire package of ground beef from Sam's Club, it will make a triple batch of the Risotto for your shows with large attendance, (triple batch of ANYTHING!). It is an awesome piece of cookware. And at $145, a new recruit can sell 4 of these to her friends with a small item added to each and be qualified! Easy!

I used the roaster for 4 different meals over Thanksgiving week (I had 13 people eating and sleeping here) - including of course the turkey. It can be used for SO much. If you don't have a crowd you could do investment cooking with it.
It's also great for a large batch of oven caramel corn...
I also have the carving board but do not find reasons to use it very much. I would NEVER pay full price for it but it is worth the 60% off price.
