Wouldn't Have Thanksgiving Without It
I stepped up from the black, speckled roasting pans you get at the grocery store. I've had my All Clad pan for a year and purchased it before Cook's Illustrated latest review.
I made my best turkey ever. I had to give up my family's traditional overnight roasting recipe, but I think this is better. Crisp skin and I can make gravy in the pan.
I've used this pan once and my only problem was that I noticed my drippings were burning, so I added a scant amount of water to the pan. This year, I'll lower the oven temperature slightly.
It's a good, heavy pan. When you pull this out of the oven, you feel like you've done something! Easier to clean than my supermarket version.
Item is Not as Described!
I ordered two of these pans. One for myself and one for my sister. We DID NOT RECEIVE A STAINLESS PAN! We received an aluminum pan with a non-stick black coating on the interior. The pans we received were from the MC2 collection. Amazon sent me a new pan but I received another MC2 pan. So now I have to return two pans and my sister must return one. We are both collecting the 3-ply All-Clad stainless cookware. I am very dissapointed. Amazon will not honor a comparable sale price on a stainless pan.
NOT a waist of money
Love this pan. My husband thinks I'm a kitchen gadget freak (I am!), but when he decided to use this roti, he absolutely LOVED it! It's heavy-duty, solid, and easy to clean (you don't need non-stick coating). We highly recommend this roti pan.
Never buy the roasting pans with hinged handles, they are hard to handle with oven mitts--especially dangerous when hot coming out of the oven.
Overpriced
This pan fails to deliver. This pan is the black sheep of the All Clad line. It is made of solid stainless steel and is not an aluminum triply pan as it is advertised. It is also made in Korea unlike the other All Clad products which are made in the USA. Shop around there are better products out there for half the price.
Great pan for great food in mass quantities.
This pan is wondreful to cook in. I am thrilled with the quality. It is very heavy duty and just plain heavy. I purchased this to be both a roaster and lasagne pan and I love it. I can make a mega batch of lasagne with my fresh goat cheese and feed the whole family. The great roasts are a bonus. The oven mitts hang around the kitchen for decoration as the one and only time I tried to use them I burnt my arm rather badly on the handle and have a scar exactly that shape. I'm not used to mitts and will stick to my hot pads from now on.
