This baker does a nice job roasting meats and vegetables.  It has self-basting spikes on the interior of the lid which collect and return all moisture back into dish - nothing dries out and the food stays moist.  It goes from the freezer to the oven, up to 572F with no thermal shock problems. Microwave and dishwasher safe are a nice bonus.  Love that I can make and serve in the same pan.
