Product Description

Six generations of Americans have been cooking their Thanksgiving turkeys and traditional hams and roasts in a Granite Ware roaster and for good reason - It cooks faster and more evenly than other roasters. The dark porcelain surface and steel core absorb the oven's energy and evenly distribute it to the contents. Each roasting pan and it's handles are designed to accommodate the weight of the ingredients (much safer than foil) Granite Ware roasters clean up easily - just fill it with warm water and a little soap and food particles will wipe clean. The 18 inch covered oval roaster will hold a 15 pound poultry or 18 pound roast. 18 inch by 12 1/4 inch by 7 1/2 inch. Rated a "Best Buy" by Cooks Illustrated and made in the USA

You'll see "Granite Ware" or "Graniteware" on lots of pans with this look, but they are not all the real thing. Amazon carries some of these fakes, so be aware, because the fakes are junky by comparison - they are thinner, the edges are sharp (not rolled,) the handles are also sharp and flimsy, etc. - I researched it, and ALL the quality complaints for Granite Ware on Amazon are for imitations made OFFSHORE (Mexico, China, et al.) Thats also the reason for the lower prices sometimes found in stores - the pans are knockoffs.
If the label on your pan does NOT say "Made in the USA" you did NOT get real Graniteware! (Also, REAL Granite Ware covered roasters have "USA" EMBOSSED under the handle of the lid.) So try to get the real American Granite Ware - it will not disappoint you!

PS Excellent roasting & browning at LOW temps! We use 275 degrees (at most) and always get great results whether roasting Turkey, Chicken, Beef, or Lamb.

I'd been using a stainless steel roaster and couldn't figure out why my turkey always took TWICE as long to cook....so frustrating!
The first time I used this roaster, it was my best turkey ever...perfect color and flavor, and finished on time! Also, it's sturdy and easy to heft in and out of the oven, unlike the back-breaking stainless steel monstrosity. 17 stars!

I had this exact roasting pan for 20 years,finally it started dripping on the bottom.I looked all over for the exact same pan,and by accident while buying something else on amazon i saw it.I ordered it as fast as i could.I have used it about a week after i got it,same as my old one.Now my old pan is in the garbage.Hope this lasts as long as the other.Very happy with this product,thought i wouldn't find another.
