Just received this pan. It looks great and feels like a high quality pan, especially for the price. I tried to ascertain the exact pan size from both Amazon customer service and KitchenAid customer service BEFORE ordering it. I was told by KitchenAid that it was 19" long. I measured the pan - it is only 15 1/2" long. I am very disappointed. Will most likely return it because it is too small.

There are few-if any-good roasting pans to be had in this price range.

I've used this pan but 8-9 times for chicken,turkey, roast beef, and for roasted potatoes. Unlike most others, when the rack is inserted it is suspended above the pan bottom so as to not scratch the coating. The coatings on pan & rack are effective as both clean up easily after use.

The main issue to be addressed is whether the coating integrity will pass the Pan Gravy Test: Regrettably it didn't. I made pan gravy in it on the stove-top four times, and the coating degraded with each event, until it no longer made sense to keep the pan. How much Teflon would you want in your diet?

Since then I locally purchased a stainless triple clad roasting pan(much like the Cuisinart MCP117-16BR)sold under the house name of our local Wegman's grocery chain. I've used the new one for roasting both beef and turkey, along with the appurtenant pan-gravy exercises. The pan performs brilliantly and (thankfully)it cleans up easily. The lesson here: spend a few extra dollars and get a pan that'll last a lifetime.

I snagged this pan a week before Thanksgiving after searching at Target and other big stores. I needed something that included the roasting rack, as well as handles, but was non-stick and reasonably thick, as I didn't want a messy cleanup job, nor did I want the pan warping in the hot oven. I also wanted some sort of "lifters," that I could use to lift and turn the bird (or ham) if needed, that weren't flimsy, and would last over time.

When I received the product, it was boxed properly with no exterior damage, it wasn't in a fancy box or anything of that sort, simply a pan, the rack insert, and one set of 2 lifters. The pan was a good non-stick surface, as was the rack, and the rack sits down on these solid notches so it isn't in *direct* contact with the pan bottom--another plus, for me at least.

Turkey day came and the bird was prepped, along with the oven preheated, and this pan was put to its first use, and one and only test. It was my first oven bird, so it was a bit of a test for both of us.

To make a long review short, the pan, rack and lifters made Thanksgiving preparation so much easier, with a lot less cleanup than was expected! I originally gave the product 4 stars, but while writing the review, bumped it up to 5. I now remember that I didn't just use the pan for turkey--I've used it for a ham, as well as cornish hens. Cleanup is a breeze with the non-stick surface, and the lifters don't have to be used for just this pan. I've used the lifters while smoking meats outside, like pork loin and brisket (they're perfect for getting "under" meats easily, while not poking holes or potentially tearing the meat), without issue.

Overall, the pan is well worth the (what I think to be) small price tag. 5 stars!
