Question: Is it a nice heavy duty weight, want a good bottom to place on top burners to finish gravy?
Document: If your looking for a roasting pan for that big family turkey or standing Rib Roast that built twice as good as big name brands then look no further. The handles are placed just rite and its deep enough to cook your turkey breast side down so it stays nice and juicy.
Great Pan and a very decent grade of stainless. It's not one of those flimsy thin pans as it has a nice weight and thickness to the stainless. I like that the rack is not a deep V as it cooks a turkey inverted and doesn't leave the deep lines on the breast.Very nice size to accommodate larger turkeys or roasts, etc.
This is an extremely well made heavy duty roasting pan but I almost had to return it. There are many dimensions to a roasting pan and to me, the two most important, were the depth to catch all the goose fat and the length to make sure it would fit into one of our smaller than standard double wall ovens. We have just barely 18 inches from side to side in each oven after losing a bit for the supports which the oven racks slide in on. The inside length dimension of this beautiful pan is 15 1/2 inches, but the full length, when you add in the solid non-removable heavy duty handles on each end, increases it to is 18 inches.
I was thrilled when I opened the package. Very heavy and well made. It was better than I thought it would be for the price. I will enjoy this for years to come. I would recommend this pan to anybody that is serious about cooking.
It's heavy, without being TOO heavy (does that make sense?) I love the handles and I am also happy it has no teflon (went through many &#34;cheap-o&#34;, flaking teflon models before this one.) My turkey turned out beautifully & I don't think I'll ever need to buy another. Highly recommend.
I just received my Tramontina Roasting Pan today it was 18.5 X 14.5 X 5.75. Looked nice enough but not the one I ordered. I might have kept it but it arrived with a non-stick (coated) rack and I specifically ordered one with a chrome plated rack so I wouldn't have the problem of peeling like I have had in the past with non-stick racks. Sending it back.
I find this brand of cookware exceptional. I plan to buy this pan in the near future as I have been very pleased with the other Tramontina items I have purchased in the past. I absolutely love the steamer pan I purchased and use it daily. The products are of good quality. As I always say, you get what you pay for, and it is true with Tramontina! I highly recommend this cook ware and bake ware for professionals.
This is the best roasting pan I've ever used! I would not be without it to roast a turkey or a large prime rib. The pan design is perfect for my needs. I turn my turkey as I roast it. The Capholon and All Clad pans were either too pricey or the design didn't lend itself well to turning my turkey (the handles were bent in over the pan). My husband bought this roasting pan in 2001 from a pricey kitchen store at the mall in Boise, Idaho. Now, my mom and two sisters-in-law want one each.
MADE IN BRAZIL! So happy it's not made in China like a lot of the higher end roasting pans. I also like that the rack is chrome and not nonstick. It feels very sturdy and worked just fine for my pork tenderloin. I know other pans boast a sandwich of aluminum but you have to pay a lot for the quality to be worth it. Looking for high end; read reviews at consumersearch.com and finecooking.com.
Love my new roasting pan. Easy clean-up, even cooking, great price, and perfect size. You cannot go wrong purchasing this pan.
Answer: It is a heavy gauge steel. I have not used this one on the stove top yet but when I do I will make sure the burner is not all the way up.
