Question: Can the base be used on a burner (to make gravy after the turkey is out)?
Document: The base and the lid both have very thick, solid metal heat-absorbing cooking surfaces, and the whole thing is stainless steel, so it's super durable and reliable. The handles are offset, so it's not as wide as it would be if they weren't, but that takes some getting used to.
The pan heats so evenly that it functions like a crock pot on my glass top stove. I just turn a small burner on low, and my turkey carcass turns into soup overnight after the big meal.As far as value, this pan has been worth the $100 I paid for it years ago and still looks brand new.
The product description for the roaster says that it holds 18-24lbs of meat. I roasted a 23.5lb turkey yesterday and it barely fit in the pan. Worst of all, the lid would not close because the turkey was too tall in the pan. I had to use foil instead.The pan itself is very sturdy. I'm happy that the lid can be used on a stovetop. The pan handled the weight of the turkey very well.
This roaster has been a great purchase. I've used it 3 times so far for roasting turkey and duck. It cleans up surprisingly easily. With the rack out, it handled an 18 lb turkey with the lid on. The quality seems very good with significant heft. The handles are very well placed to both offer stable handling and to minimize wasted space in the oven. The heavy bottom on both the roaster and the lid do a great job of equalizing heat distribution from the bottom.
Used my new roaster on thanksgiving. It held a 19lb bird beautifully. It's pretty and shiny the bird came out perfect. No more old black roasting pan for me.
My daughter needed a good roaster, and this is just the right size for a small turkey, whole chicken, beef roast, root vegetables, or even casseroles. She is a full-time college student and has very little time to cook every day except for making a fresh tossed salad to go with whatever she has cooked in this roaster over the weekend.
)Cons: THE PRICE. DAMN that's expensive! I had a large gift certificate for a local cooking store and that's how I got mine, but now I've ordered a second one as a gift for someone else (as they kept eyeing mine with envy every time I came over with a perfectly cooked turkey,  brought over in this awesome roaster with a great lid!)
I have owned this pan for twenty years. Not only is it a fabulous roaster, it is quite versatile. Once my turkey or roast is cooked, we carve it in the top pan. The triple stainless steel is a good insulator, so the roast stays warm or cold for a good while. Cold is important to me, because I brine my turkey ahead of time in this pan and the solution stays below 40 degrees for 12 ot 18 hours.
What a show piece.
This roaster is heavy. It cooks well and holds it temperature. The top seats well onto the bottom. The interior grate fits beautifully. It has tall sides. The finish is incredible. The only draw back is for those who have induction stove tops. It does not work for induction. It is easy to clean. You will need a large storage space (I use my oven). I would give it 5 stars if the manufacturer would change the bottom/top plates to work with induction.
Answer: yes  it has a nice heavy base.
