Not your mother's broiling pan!
As noted by another reviewer, pay attention to the dimensions of this roasting pan. It is high quality and has a slick Teflon-like surface. But it is much smaller than any broiling pan you have ever seen before. This is not a typical broiling pan! Addendum: My wife used this pan to cook a delicious spiral steak in the broiler. She said that it worked just fine and will be great for our small family of just 3 people. Amazing non-stick coating I love this pan! Both the pan itself and the roasting rack have the same non-stick coating. This isn't Teflon, folks. You can put it under the broiler and it's fine. The package claims it's also dishwasher safe, although I haven't tried this yet. After soaking, even the worst messes clean off easily by hand. The corners are all very smooth, and thus easy to clean. At 13"x9", this is a small pan. It's great for a pork tenderloin or two, a beef eye of round roast, some cut-up chicken pieces (about 4 thighs), or a couple of quail. The product description suggesting you could use it for "roasting the Thanksgiving turkey" is misleading - maybe it could fit the Thanksgiving boneless turkey breast! Chicago Metallic makes a larger roaster that can fit larger meats. However, for regular family dinners I prefer this smaller size, as it allows me to put another small pan next to it in the oven to cook a side dish simultaneously. The size also makes it easy to tent with foil to let a roast rest right in the pan. And, of course, it's less surface area to clean than a larger pan. With the rack out, it's a nice deep 2-1/4 inches. I've found it's great for making dishes such as aloo tarkari (curried potatoes), which tend to leave hard-to-clean crud on glass casseroles. It could probably replace a 13x9 casserole in most applications, as long as you don't need to use a sharp knife to cut food in the pan. For my family of four, this pan is a great little workhorse. very good product...easy to clean..very happy !! I'm so happy that I bought this pan. This is a roast pan that I was looking for. I saw the same pan at IKEA with the same price. I'm grad that I didn't buy one from IKEA Too small for "my" turkey's" There is nothing wrong with this roasting pan. I would have given it 5 stars, but the main thing I needed it for was roasting my Thanksgiving turkey. I guess I didn't pay close enough attention to the dimensions. Great Roaster! Love it! I like to just throw some chicken [...] w/ marinade and throw this in the oven for a bit and it is great for that. It is very easy to clean. I am very satisfied w/ this product. | |
