Calphalon One Infused Anodized 16" Roaster
- Roomy enough for a 25-pound turkey
- Excellent for browning
- Nonstick coating
- Well-designed handles and rack
- Expensive
- Not dishwasher-safe
The Calphalon One Infused Anodized roaster gets the highest scores even though it's more expensive than others. This anodized-aluminum roasting pan has a dark, rough-textured interior coating that not only attracts heat but also resists sticking. Reviews say this pan, which can be used on the stovetop or under the broiler, heats evenly and does a superb job browning foods. The Calphalon One cannot be placed in the dishwasher, but owners posting to Cooking.com say it's easy to clean with hot, soapy water.
We found reviews in Slate.com, the Los Angeles Times and Canadian Living. Slate.com's Jonathan Kauffman is the only reviewer who made turkey, roasted pork, vegetables and gravy in this pan. We wish the other publications had made gravy in the pans they tested, since several owners say roasting pans can warp when used on a stovetop. We also read some brief consumer reviews of the Calphalon One roasting pan at Cooking.com.
