Precise Heat Roasting Pan with Rack and Lid, T304 Stainless Steel Multi-Use Oval Dutch Oven, 18 Inch, 14 Quart

I ordered this based on one review it had here on Amazon (and attracted initially by the price). I had been shopping for a stainless steel roaster for awhile and was drawn to this for the price (many others of smaller or similar size cost a lot more money). For its first use, I had a 27-pound turkey, but would recommend a smaller one - the 27-pound turkey fit fine but almost had a disaster with an overflow of juices during baking. So unless you can keep an eye on it, would recommend a 20-22 pounder.This roaster is a work of art, it is a joy to cook in and to look at as well. It is so beautiful that after I received it, it sat out on my counter for a week so my family and I could admire it. My family and I would get a kick out of any vistors we had during that time as they also would be drawn to it - would pick up the lid, look inside and admire it also - many times just out of the blue, not saying anything beforehand but just upon noticing it sitting there.It has that space-age type of rounded oval design, is extremely well put together and comes in its own sturdy plain white box (inside the cardboard packing carton) which I use for storage. I am always looking for an excuse to use it, it not only works well but is quite stylish and I have used it right on the fanciest-set tables to many compliments.The stainless steel is a very thick grade, it is very heavy (13 1/2 pounds), it cleans super easily (sometimes with a just a little soaking, a non-scatch scouring pad and occasionally a little Barkeeper's Friend) and looks like new every time I put it away waiting for the next use. The rack is strong and sturdy and I have used the rack separately in other more shallow pans for this reason. I am in the process of converting over to all stainless cookware and this is one item I consider one of my better deals.If I had a glass-fronted cabinet, it would be on display there all the times I am not using it, I think it is that pretty. If you've been considering going over to stainless steel for a roaster, you cannot beat this one for a great start. It was shipped fast and securely and I had it in plenty of time for Thanksgiving even though I ordered it only 10 days before.

This is a beautiful roaster! I've had it less than a week and have used it several times. It roasted a turkey great and when the bird was resting (on the very nice pull out rack) I made gravy in the pan - great. It fits so nicely on two burners on my stove. Right now I have stock going from the leftover bird and it's been simmering for about 9 hours - doing great too. I made a huge batch of chicken noodle soup - worked great - with no spills and a very large amount. I also served corn on the cob in the lid, it just happened to be there after braising meat - it worked and looked great!! We have a large family and this pan is so wonderful. It washes up great - although it is big so it should be last. It also cooks great and is nicely made (even though China). Well worth the price and no teflon or aluminum. This is a good one. One final thing, as another reviewer stated, I washed it with vinegar and warm soapy water before the initial use and I do think it helped get some oily residue off from the factory. I will use this pan for years!!!!!

This roasting pan with lid is phenomenal quality. It is heavy but very well made. We were looking for a large pan for our 20# turkey and came across this pan. Decided to give it a shot even though the wife was hesitant to spend this much on an unknown when she could have bought an enameled pan. Don't regret it one bit. This pan helped our turkey come out perfectly moist, even in the white meat. This pan comes with the roasting rack but to make lifting off the turkey, I recommend a set of poultry forks. The pan cleaned up easily by hand though I believe the instructions say that a dishwasher cleaning is acceptable also. We left the pan to soak overnight in the sink and washed it out in the morning with no scrubbing. You will be impressed by the overall quality of this pan. There is just enough space between the lid and pan to allow you to insert a meat thermometer but not so much that the heat escapes. Great pan - no regrets at all. Can't wait to use it again for a smaller turkey or ham.

I'm SO glad I took a chance on this... seriously. It's beautiful and it cleaned so easily I couldn't believe it. I was looking at All-Clad, Viking and a few other roasters and if I had bought one of those over this... I would be kicking myself right now. Cooking times were right on what I expected they would be but I cook by thermometer probe not by time anyways. I'm not quite sure what happened to that person that said they had to extend their cooking time ridiculously long because it insulated the food from the heat in the oven. I did not have that problem. The thing is, this roaster is beautiful, my food came out perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Can you cook a turkey that will feed 12 people in this? Probably not. What I was looking for was a roaster with a flat based lid that I could cook for 1-6 and multipurpose the lid when I so desired. That's what I got. It is great quality, nice looking, no branding and I'm sure this will last for a lifetime. I'm looking forward to more turkeys, roast chicken, carnitas, roasts and any other excuse I have to use this. Don't hesitate... the utility and price are so right on with this purchase.

In the move to downsize my turkey pan and roasting pan were missing. This pan takes to place of both. The pan is stainless steel so it cooks evenly. The uniqueness of this pan is the lid can be turned over to be used it as a serving tray. Versatile cooking pan.
