The patented concave lid is designed to cause the vapors to condense and drip back onto the meat, hence the reason they called it a "self-basting roaster".
The vent is there for browning - I don't use it, but, rather, follow the instructions in the Idle Hour Cookbook and leave the lid off for a few minutes to brown the meat, then put the lid on.
That is - IF the meat I'm cooking needs to be browned.

Thanks, got it. I, like you, would brown the meat first so I didn't quite get the vent. I may try it though.. I just cleaned up the roaster and with what ease! It cleaned up with soap and water, no scrubbing. I guess just like with the stove if you don't scrub it to death it cleans with ease!

Check your "Idle Hour" Cookbook - it tells you how to brown the meat at the beginning of the cooking time using the LISK roaster (although they don't mention it by name).
