All-Clad Stainless Petite Roti Pan

Reviewers say the 14-inch All-Clad Stainless Petite Roti Pan is ideal for cooks who have a smaller oven or when roasting smaller quantities. It is made from a single layer of stainless steel, which can withstand high heat under the broiler and is safe to clean in the dishwasher. Experts and owners agree this roasting pan nicely browns poultry skin and is very easy to clean. However, in one professional review, the pan had some hot spots, and the handles became hot during deglazing. If you need a larger pan, the All-Clad Stainless Roti Pan (*Est. $200) and Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Roaster with V Rack (*Est. $130) are 2 inches longer. All three pans come with a rack and lifetime warranty.

The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times conduct hands-on performance tests of various roasting pans, including the larger version of the All-Clad Stainless Steel Petite Roti. The Los Angeles Times review tests how well five roasting pans cook a turkey and make gravy on the stovetop. The New York Times compares seven brands of roasting pans at several tasks -- roasting meat and vegetables, baking fish and making gravy on the stovetop. Cooking.com allows owners to rate their roasting pans as well as write reviews of them.
