This durable roasting pan scores high marks for both performance and design. It’s made with three layers of stainless-steel and a highly conductive aluminum core that promotes even heating. We found that the pan lived up to its no hot-spots promise during the water test. After the cook test, we found that the chicken was cooked through and the vegetables evenly roasted. The low angled walls are designed to promote crisping, and our testing yielded a roasted chicken with skin so crisp that it crackled audibly when we inserted an instant-read thermometer. The 360-degree pouring rim means you can tilt the pan from any angle to easily save drippings or pour gravy.
We love the just-right-weight feel of the pan, which offers heft while still being comfortable to pick up, carry and maneuver in the sink during clean-up. The pan is fully clad which means that the vertical handles are welded on for security and stability. This pan also wins points for the accompanying flat, multi-purpose rack. It gives roasts, bacon or spatchcocked chicken a lift to ensure all-around crisping and browning, and doubles as a trivet or as a cooling rack for baked goods.
The pan and rack are broiler safe up to 600 degrees and the pan is suitable for a variety of cooktops, including induction. The pan is dishwasher safe, but as with most cookware, handwashing is recommended to extend the life of the pan. After we roasted the chicken and vegetables, we found that some pieces of food had stuck. To get rid of build-up, we had success following the manufacturer care recommendation: fill a pan with hot, soapy water, let it sit on a dry surface, and scrub the pan with the soft side of a sponge.
