Yes, I use one every year. You still have to put the bag in a pan,
however.

Add a copy of tablespoons of flour to the bag. Cut several slits in the
top of the bag.

The skin does brown, but more of a golden brown, not deep brown. It also
will not be as crisp, but the meat will be much jucier.

If you want to brown and crisp the skin, you can slip it under the broiler
after removing from the bag, or use a blowtorch.
