Great value, Great Function,

This review is from: KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions 16.5-Inch Roaster with Rack, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I purchased this item expecting that it would be a light to medium grade stainless steel pan, would be easy to clean up, and would produce well-browned even cooking results. I was very pleased, and feel it's a fabulous value and really good quality. I prepared a wonderful "kurobuta" pork roast, and finished a sauce on top of my stove from the pan juices. There were no hot spots in the pan at all, and after all was said and done, the pan was a breeze to clean - no scouring was even required!
The rack was a pleasant surprise... it is very sturdy, and fits snugly in the pan - elevating contents at an appropriate height, but cradling them in a slightly rounded rack instead of a sharply angled "v" shaped rack. This allows for the liquids to evaporate evenly, coating the food being cooked well and keeping meats moist. I'm sure the All-Clad pan for almost 4 times the price would perform very well too, but this pan performs very well and is a tremendous value.

Adequate, but I was expecting more...,

I really like the roasting rack. It cradles turkeys and roasts very well, while not getting itself stuck to the meat during the cooking process.
However, I was disappointed with the roasting pan itself. With it being KitchenAid Distinctions, I assumed it would be a thicker stainless steel like the rest of my set. I like to make gravy on my stovetop with the drippings, but I'm less confident turning my back on this pan for a few seconds to drain potatoes or something because, with the thinness of the pan, the heat does not spread throughout the bottom of the pan evenly. There are distinct hot spots. That said, the price was great. And I really do like the rack much more than any I've ever tried.

This review is from: KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions 16.5-Inch Roaster with Rack, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I just used this to cook a 20 lb. turkey for Christmas dinner. The bird maxed out the pan. Next time I will not purchase larger than an 18 lb. bird as 19 or 20 is too large.
Other than the size limitation of an 18 lb. bird, the pan and rack are great and well designed. The roasting pan is plenty thick enough. Sure, it's not as thick as the 40 year old Revereware I inherited from my Grandmother, but what is now days that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I made gravy from the drippings right in this roasting pan and did not have any problems. If your gravy burns using this pan, it's because your temp is too high and/or you're not stirring enough. I look forward to many years of use.
