Roasting Pans: Reviews

Reviewers say the Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Roaster with V Rack distributes heat evenly and is easy to maneuver and clean. This 16-inch-long, dishwasher-safe pan possesses a brushed stainless-steel exterior and an… aluminum core. Experts say this tri-ply construction minimizes warping and promotes even cooking. It comes with a lid, a well-designed nonstick rack and a lifetime warranty. One professional reviewer says its flared shape and rounded corners make it easier to stir stovetop gravy and sauces. Owners also appreciate its comfortable, stay-cool handles. The downside? It's expensive.

Reviewers say the KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions Roaster with Rack is a quality product and unbeatable value, although it doesn't quite measure up to the performance and heft of the Calphalon roaster. Still, this pan… does a good job of browning meat and didn't reveal any hot spots in expert testing. It comes with a rack and has roomy handles. However, a few owners complain that the single-ply, 18/10 stainless steel is too thin and the bottom of the pan is not completely flat, stifling this roaster's performance on the stovetop. The KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions Roaster is 15 inches long (slightly shorter than the Calphalon pan) and comes with a one-year warranty.

Reviewers say the 14-inch All-Clad Stainless Petite Roti Pan is a solid choice for cooks who favor petite portions or have a smaller oven. In testing, this roasting pan's aluminum and stainless-steel interior nicely… browns poultry skin and it's easy to clean. Some downsides: One professional review said the pan had hot spots and its handles became too hot during cooking. The All-Clad Stainless Petite Roti Pan includes a nonstick rack and it comes with a lifetime warranty. The downside is its price tag.
