Roasting Pan material?
I need to purchase a new roasting pan for this year's Thanksgiving turkey.
Can anyone give me their thoughts as to the best material it should be made of? I want it to make good stove-top gravy with the drippings and be easy to clean. I was thinking of going with an all stainless steel one -- the same as my regular pots and pans. Thanks in advance for your suggestions Renee |

The v-rack holds the bird or roast up a little and allows drippings to collect in the roasting pan. By holding the roast up out of the pan the convection works better plus the bottom of what I'm roasting browns/crisps up better. -- Last year's nuts must go. - Michael Odom |

I recommend the Farberware SS Classic roasting pan... been using the same for more than 30 years, they're strong and have no rolled edges so is easy to keep them clean, dishwasher safe too. I like that they're not so deep as to prevent proper browning... deep pans inhibit browning. Placing one pan inside another, as some do with aluminum disposables greatly interferes with proper browning of large roasts. I have the large Farberware pan for turkeys and other large roasts, I also have two of the Farberware medum sized roasting pans, these with a non-stick coating, I like them because their size permits that both will fit comfortably on my oven rack side by side... the long ways front to back... it's like having an extra oven. Before purchasing any large roasting pan measure your oven carefully to determine that the pan will fit on the rack and especially that the oven door will close properly... not checking for fit is the number one way that glass panel oven doors get shattered. I think the Farberware Classic roasting pans are the best on the market, will last at least two lifetimes worth of constant use, and are reasonably priced... no one needs a $100 dollar roasting pan, not unless they need something to razzle-dazzle folks so it's not noticed how they can't cook. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

So I think this might be good choice as you suggest. Do you know what size Farberware pan you use for turkeys? I see they have two sizes that might be good: Medium 11 x 17, and Large 13 x 20. I was thinking the medium one would be big enough for a 15 - 18 lb turkey. What do you think? Thanks again, Renee |

Oh no! Get yourself a decent stainless pan. Accident waiting to happen. Here's the thing about the size ... it depends how many you normally cook for. Like, normally I'll just cook a chicken, maybe two, they'd be lost in the larger roasting pan. I made a turkey in my smaller one and it fit fine. But, I hesitate to tell you which size is best for you. nancy |
