I purchased this item for Thanksiving in particular, as I had always used aluminum disposables. I decided to spring for a nice durable roasting pan thinking I would start roasting my own chickens every week. That didn't happen, but I am still thrilled with this purchase. I researched extensively this pan and the two muli-ply options from All Clad. I went this this one primarily for the price point, and the fact that it actually had better reviews than the the other brand. The other thing that pushed this to the forefront was the fact that the rack also was stainless, not non-stick, which is a factor in any cookware purchases for our household now. I have used this pan over twenty times now since receiving it the day before Thanksgiving, even though only once using it for poultry. In that instance, despite my slight worry that it was going to be a huge pain to clean the rack, it actually worked great by following the instructions to spray the rack with something like Pam. (I used olive oil in a Misto.) I soaked the rack in dishwater for about twenty minutes after cooking and it did take time to make sure every nook and cranny was clean, but no hard scrubbing was required. The skin crisped up great, and nothing really melted on it to the extent that I questioned my decision on not doing a throw away pan. Using this pan with rack removed is what has most impressed me, likely because I never had never been in a household to use more than disposable pans. I actually leave it easily accessible because it is not a uni-purpose as I originally assumed. I have used it to make baked pastas, and because it is so large it works great for doing two recipes in one dish. We are a two person household, and do not generally eat the same meals. So doing half baked ziti with ground beef for him and half baked ziti with veggies for me more than fits in the pan and saves on clean up time and sink space. (Yes I know cooking in the same pan is probably not an option for many mixed eating households, but in this case, I do not mind a small amount of meat maybe touching the side of my food. I just opt to not eat it.) I have used it to roast veggies mostly, and for me, I like doing it in the because I can stir them without making a mess and do not have to be as careful as with a baking sheet. Also, since the sides are so high you can just chop and toss the vegetables into the pan as you go and season and toss in place. I've also done one bacon wrapped meatloaf that got rave reviews (on the rack) which cooked very quickly and evenly and ended up much less greasy than having it sit in it's fat while it cooked. The pan cleans up great, I use stainless steel cookware all the time, so I know a quick soak means an easy clean up. While I understand most people prefer the easy wipe off of non stick, I personally prefer to err on the side of caution and would rather soak and scrub a little if required than take the health risk of the easier option. It looks to be made well, the handles are beyond heavy duty and support the weight well. The only gripe I really have, and it is so small it does not affect my rating, it that if you look at the underside of the pan you can see the rolls in the steel. As far as I can tell it is still flat and level, but you can see them. In case that bothers anyone else, I think it's important to let that be known. I did notice this straight out of the box, but didn't really worry about it. And for the great price, I didn't expect it to be A.C. perfection.

I've been looking at roasting pans for awhile, never could decide which one would be best. Kept coming back to this beauty, and am glad we got it. It's durable, and a great size for turkey (16") I like that it's sturdy and heavy, and the handles are great! The rack is rounded, making it perfect for a turkey. Easily lifts out, while the pan catches all the juices. I was able to get the tip of the turkey baster through the rack to baste the turkey. This roaster is expensive, yes, but not as much as some others, like All Clad, which was my dream roaster but at nearly 300.00,, a no for me. This Cuisinart roaster will last me a very long time, plus it comes with a Lifetime Warranty, so you can't go wrong. Very happy with this purchase.

Very good item for a turkey ham or roast

Gran capacidad, tamaño ideal para el horno de 6 parrillas, facil de manejar y facil de limpiar por sus excelentes materiales.

The handle significantly enlarge the pan size to more than 16 inch. It cannot fit into my oven. And I was virtually impossible to return the item because the appointed carrier did not call me, or pick up the item. After days of half day continuous calling (I could never get through the line) and couple of emails sent with no reply, I finally got through the line today and the person told me that the tracking number is no longer valid and I have to request another tracking no. This really sucks! This is the latest update of the situation - Amazon took action and passed my case to another carrier and the parcel was collected on time and the refunds is received. Thank you Amazon and Cuisinart!

El tamaño es perfecto gracias
