Roasting Pan

This thing is a beast, absolute thermal control right where you want it. Able to hold a turkey with no problem or create a massive casserole. I especially like how the handles are not a joke where I can have nice and thick oven mitts on yet have a great handle to ensure I don't drop the Thanksgiving centerpiece.

I bought this roasting pan online about three years ago. It was sight unseen, but when comparing the description, measurements, and presumed level of quality, I took the leap. Given that I only use a roasting pan about five times a year, the price gave me anxiety. However, when it arrived it was beautifully stylish, and the quality was clearly evident. Three years later, I still don’t use it frequently (but it could definitely handle frequent use), but every time I do I fall in love with it again. It is truly gorgeous and robust beyond belief. The sides are low enough, and the rack high enough, that the underside of meats get roasted uniformly. It cleans up very easily, conducts and holds heat extremely well, and I’m pretty sure it is the last roasting pan I’ll ever need. And guess what…..I have not thought about the price difference between it and other quality roasting pans since the second I opened the box it came in! The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five is due to the price…plus the fact that what constitutes ‘perfect’ is based on the needs and priorities of the user/buyer. If you want ‘top shelf’ and have the dough, it is perfect. If price is more important and you can accept a slightly lower level of quality, there are options. That said, I have no doubt this thing will live on like the iron skillet everyone’s Grandmother had, many of which are still in-use.

Handles are great to lift pan out of the oven. It is made in Belgium from high quality material and is very sturdy. Cannot wait to try it out and hope to use it for many years. I had to buy 2 because of my growing family and know these pans are better than any other roasting pans I have seen in the market.
