An apparatus/method of cleaning a roaster bowl having a pouring lip and a cover (e.g., sugar or other coating is adhered to the bowl, its pouring lip and the cover). Water is added to the roaster bowl and the cover is placed over the roaster bowl. An appropriately sized and located steam vent is disposed between the cover and roaster bowl, adjacent to the bowl's pouring lip. The roaster bowl is heated to boil the water to produce steam that dissolves the sugar adhered to the roaster bowl and to the underside of the cover. Steam exiting the bowl via the vent condenses on the pouring lip to dissolve the sugar that is adhered to the pouring lip, and the sugar-laden steam drips back into the bowl thus cleaning the pouring lip.

1. A roasting and glazing apparatus, comprising: a roaster housing;a roaster bowl disposed within the roaster housing, the roaster bowl having an outwardly extending pouring lip, the roaster bowl including a removable agitator rotatably mounted within the roaster bowl;a cover removably mounted on top of the roaster bowl, the cover and the roaster bowl forming a vent extending between the cover and the roaster bowl, the vent extending around a portion of a perimeter of the roaster bowl, the vent being disposed adjacent to at least a portion of the pouring lip of the roaster bowl;a heater disposed within the roaster housing and adapted to selectively heat the roaster bowl; anda pour tray removably coupled to a side of the roaster housing at which the pouring lip of the roaster bowl is disposed. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising sugar adhered to the roaster bowl, sugar adhered to the pouring lip of the roaster bowl, and water disposed within the roaster bowl; and wherein the heater is adapted to selectably heat the roaster bowl to cause a portion of the water within the roaster bowl to boil and to form steam, so as to cause the sugar adhered to the roaster bowl to dissolve. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising sugar adhered to the pouring lip of the roaster bowl, and water disposed within the roaster bowl; and wherein the vent formed between the roaster bowl and the cover, and the pouring lip of the roaster bowl are suitably positioned and sized to cause steam exiting the roaster bowl during a cleaning operation to condense on the pouring lip, to dissolve by the condensed steam the sugar adhered to the pouring lip, and to cause the dissolved sugar within the condensed steam to drip into the roaster bowl. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a pan disposed underneath a distal terminus of the pour tray. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pouring lip includes an outer edge with a curvature; and wherein the pour tray includes a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the pour tray including a curved edge with a curvature that substantially corresponds to the curvature of the outer edge of the pouring lip. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein a width of the curved edge of the pour tray is wider than a width of the outer edge of the pouring lip. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the distal end is narrower than the proximal end, the pour tray further including a sidewall sufficiently high to prevent spillage onto the roaster housing during a pouring operation during which water is poured from the roaster bowl onto the pour tray. 8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the proximal end of the pour tray includes a slope, relative to a top of the housing, descending downward toward the distal end of the pour tray. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pour tray includes an upper surface at least partially disposed above a top surface of the roaster housing, the pour tray further including a support member extending downward from the upper surface of the pour tray, the support member extending adjacent to and removably coupled to a side surface of the roaster housing. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the side surface of the roaster housing includes a pair of outwardly extending mounting pins, and the support member of the pour tray includes a pair of engagement apertures adapted to receive the pair of mounting pins when the pour tray is coupled to the roaster housing. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cover includes a rolled edge extending partially, and not fully, around a bottom of a side surface of the cover; and the roaster bowl includes a channel extending at least partially around a top surface of the roaster bowl and sized to receive the rolled edge of the cover mounted on the roaster bowl; and wherein the vent extends between the roaster bowl and the cover corresponding to a location of the cover that does not include the rolled edge. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the vent extends between the roaster bowl and the cover for a distance corresponding to at least 15% of a perimeter of the bottom of the side surface of the cover.
