Gibson Home Stainless Steel Top Roast 16-Inch Oval Roaster Pan with Lid and Rack

Due to the low price I had no expectations of this roaster. I discovered that the granite ware pan I have used for 25 years had a perforation and fortunately discovered this before today - Thanksgiving. I ordered this pan in a pinch and got it quickly. This is a very nice pan, especially for the price. Yes, the stainless steel is thin, and the bottom will flex when it is empty, but this pan is much better than I could have imagined. I read the reviews, and decided to give this pan a chance. I am pleasantly surprised. The stainless steel isn't heavy, but I like that. I heavy pan with an heavy turkey would be much harder to manage in and out of the oven. I prefer a lighter pan. The lid fits well and is vented, which is something you don't find with many higher priced roasters. I bought this pan in a pinch, but find that it is a keeper. This pan also looks good enough to go from oven to table for good looking presentation. The handles are also large enough to accommodate oven mitts, so that is great. I cooked an 18.5 pound turkey in this. I fold the wings under the bird, so this method takes up more pan width. If I made a larger turkey, it would fit in this pan, but I would need to clip the wing ends instead of folding them under in order to gain more room in the pan. It cleaned easily and I would recommend this pan, especially for the price and free prime shipping. A roaster doesn't need to be really heavy to be good, and for me lighter is much better. I use my roasting pans for everything, beef tenderloin, turkey, ham, pork loin, so my roaster gets a work out. This pan and lid have a mirror finish so a no scratch cleaning sponge or brush will be needed to maintain the finish. If eventually something sticks, I will use oven cleaner to preserve the shine. I have alot of stainless steel and don't want it to get scratched, so I don't use abrasive cleaners of tools on the surfaces. Since I was pleased with this purchase, I ordered one for my son yesterday.

I read reviews regarding the product thickness. Obviously some reviewers were expecting "champagne on a beer budget". Suffice it to say that this roaster is quite sufficient to handle any edible you can conceivably roast in it. I needed a roaster to fill a gap, and this one is perfect for what I needed. I can use it for a small to medium roast, and even a large roast or turkey, if I so desire. (I'll use my large roaster for the large items) My first attempt was a 5.5 pound 1/2 pork shoulder, and it turned out very nicely. Next was a 4 pound Boston butt portion, and it turned out nicely, as well. Clean-up was relatively simple. I spray the rack with cooking oil, and line the bottom with aluminum foil, regardless of the roaster I'm using. This roaster is not 'non-stick', but proper preparation will make clean-up easier. The roaster is attractive, and will certainly make a nice presentation. I will be ordering a couple more, to give as gifts.

I can't understand the people who complained about this roaster - it's fine! Is it heavy-duty stainless? NO! Of course not, not for that price. But it's definitely not flimsy like some of the reviewers said, don't believe them. The bottom does NOT buckle and it is NOT like foil at all. It's really a good roaster. If you love to cook and don't want to spend a fortune on a name brand, this is just fine. I like it's light weight and I've used it for stove top to oven dishes - sure the $100+ roasters are heavier duty but that means heavier, period. The two swiveling vents on the cover are excellent features and even a lot of the roasters for $100+ don't have those. I agree the rack is too low for some recipes, but what amateur chef doesn't have their own roasting rack? Finally, it looks really nice and if you like to impress your guests with the presentation, this roaster will handle almost anything you need it for. Under $30? Can't beat it.

I am trying to get away from aluminium because its toxic when heated so stainless steal is a great option but very expensive for "heavy duty" S.S. This Pan is a very thin, compared to $100 ones but for the price, it's amazing quality. I figure it's a start to healthier cooking. Until I win the lotto. ;)

really super roaster oven. It big enough for a turkey, but great for pot roast. It has vents on the top which gives you more control over other types. Easy clean up. It comes with rack so you can keep the meat from the bottom, though the bottom does have grooves to channel meat drippings. Light weight, so it's easy to handle.

I like the size of it. I can now make big roasts with lots of vegetables in one roaster. Before, I needed to take two smaller ones to be able to do what I can with this one. I have not yet tried, but I would think you could cook a big turkey in it.

it is bigger than I expected and only goes in my (brand new) oven diagonally. I bought specifically because it has a vented lid which helps to 'roast' rather than 'steam' the meat and prevents splashes all over the oven. It does feel a bit flimsy, but I doubt it's going to fall apart, and it is easily going to take the Christmas turkey, leg of pork, or whatever, and I am well pleased. I am well pleased and think it is excellent value for money. shame they do not do one smaller.

Me gusto el acabado, y lo útil qué espera hornear

buen producto

Great size! Only wish that it had handles on the rack to lift the turkey out of the pan. It fit my 20 lb turkey with the lid very easily.
