- Expensive
Reviewers agree the 16-inch Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Roaster with V Rack has a well-designed rack, comfortable handles and good heft. What's more, its tri-ply construction -- a middle layer of aluminum sandwiched between layers of stainless steel -- makes for superior heat conduction, particularly on the stovetop. The KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions Roaster with Rack (*Est. $50) costs less, but its one-ply stainless-steel construction doesn't have the performance or heft of the Calphalon.
We found a professional review of the Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Roaster with V Rack in Cook's Illustrated magazine. This thorough comparison of eight roasting pans assesses their performance in several cooking tests. We also consult Cooking.com and Amazon.com, where we find mostly positive reviews from owners.

1. Cook's Illustrated MagazineDetails/Subscribe
Editors at Cook's Illustrated magazine test eight roasting pans priced at $200 or less, including the Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Roaster with V Rack. All but one is a stainless-steel roaster. They roast a 15-pound turkey and deglaze the pan to make gravy, sear a 5-pound pork loin on the stovetop before oven-roasting it, and roast potatoes. Four roasting pans are recommended.
