This roaster has a spacious capacity to accommodate a large turkey or roast yet still fits in most wall ovens. Because the roaster is made of even-heating hard anodized aluminum, it performs beautifully on the stovetop as well as in the oven, making it ideal for recipes such as a pork loin roast that should be browned on the stovetop before transferring to the oven. It is a joy to use when making gravy of pan drippings after you've cooked a turkey--if you've ever done this in a lesser quality pan, you'll appreciate this pan's even-heating that prevents scorching. It comes with a sturdy roasting rack designed to hold meats above the pan for maximum heat circulation during the roasting process. Beyond roasting, this pan may be used for other dishes such as a huge batch of lasagna or eggplant parmesan. And lastly, when the meal is over you'll appreciate the durable nonstick interior that takes the scrubbing out of clean-up.
