Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Accompanied by a bonus roasting rack, silicone bulb baster with an injector tip, and two 18/8 stainless-steel turkey lifters, this 16-by-13 inch roaster pan is ideal for cooking a massive turkey (19 to 25 pounds), two chickens, or a hefty prime rib. Made of heavy-gauge anodized aluminum, the pan is harder than steel and conducts heat evenly whether it's baking lasagna or caramelizing a roast's pan juices. The pan's riveted, cast-stainless-steel handles stand straight up for easy handling and are large enough to accommodate oven mitts. The rack has its own set of large handles and is coated with nonstick so it won't pull off pieces of a bird's browned skin. The bulb baster's injector tip can be used to squirt flavoring deep into a fowl or roast. The lifters each have four curved prongs for sliding under a turkey or roast so it can be easily removed from the rack and placed on a carving board or serving platter. Both pan and rack carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

3.0 out of 5 stars Finish is different, stickiness is difficult, March 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Calphalon Classic Hard-Anodized Deep Roaster with Rack and Bonus Lifters and Baster (Kitchen)

I consider myself very finicky about cookware and have been a little dissatisfied with this roaster. The finish, at least on mine, is nothing like the hard-an interior of the other calphalon pans I own - it is more porous and a BEAR to clean. After roasting the thanksgiving turkey and deglazing the pan, it took days of soaking, reheating with liquid, and scrubbing with the suggested cleansers to get it back to even passable condition. It still has permanent discolorations from the food. The pan has excellent fit and finish, holds heat well, and feels great, but if mine is an indication, it will be difficult to maintain in a presentable condition, even if you deglaze thoroughly and take special care in cleaning. If this is not an issue for you, this is probably the heaviest, most well engineered pan you can buy for the money.

There are a number of brands that offer roasting pans, but after buying and using this set, I am hard pressed to think of ways that the competition may excell. The tools are sturdy, and useful(!). The pan is built like it was destined for commercial service, and the rack is non stick. I know that the pan is offered in non stick coating as well, but for some things, I prefer the effect of anodized auminum or bare stainless steel. Roasting is one of those things. Gravy just works better in this environment. Clean up isn't too bad either. I have not tried it yet, but I'll bet that this pan would make a killer lasagna. It's the right size, and the characteristics of the thick aluminum casing seem to be ideal for the task. I'll append the result to this review in a week or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best price - best roaster anywhere!, December 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Calphalon Classic Hard-Anodized Deep Roaster with Rack and Bonus Lifters and Baster (Kitchen)

This is the best roasting pan I have ever worked with! Beef, poultry, lamb, you name it. It is great for making lasagna (note: it takes two boxes and will feed about 20.) The forks make lifting any turkey a breeze. If you are really into seasoning meat, then get this set for the injector alone. I've even used this pan to make a large sheet cake. I've never had any problems cleaning it. Don't ever use any kind of steel wool or scotch-rite scrubber on Calphalon, and don't put it in the dishwasher, it will ruin it. The best part - the price Amazon offers - you won't find a better value.
