All-Clad Specialty Stainless Steel Covered Oval Roaster 3 Piece, 19x12x10 Inch Oven Broiler Safe 600F Roaster Pan, Pots and Pans, Cookware Silver

I needed to retire my mother's 84 year old turkey pot this year. It made me sad to do so but it was time. I did a lot of research and comparisons and after many sleepless nights finally decided on this one. The only problem was, would it really fit a 20 pound turkey? Well let me just say it not only fit but I'm sure a 21 pound bird would fit nicely as well! Not only did the turkey fit but when it was time and I took it out, it had baked so well that the turkey was very tender, moist and flavorful!The quality of this pot is outstanding, with very secure handles and a nice thick base and well arched lid. There's a rack as well which is very sturdy and hefted our large bird with no problem. The pan is machine washable but I easily cleaned it by hand as there was no room for it in the dishwasher. I did however wash the rack in the machine and it came out like new! I am very happy with this pan and can't wait to make other tasty dishes with it.If you are looking for a good quality pan, this is it! I believe this was money well spent and I am looking forward to many, many holiday birds baked in this beautiful, easy to clean pan.

This is an excellent roasting pan. Worked very well for our turkey, cleaned up easily, and still likes shiny and new. It has a thick steel construction, so the heat seems to be even. Also very sturdy for lifting a heavy turkey out of the oven without working it will bend or warp. Having the doomed lid gives you extra room, too. Very happy with it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Fits large turkey or chicken and bakes them well!

We purchased this just before Thanksgiving and it arrived on time! We used it to make our Thanksgiving turkey and our Christmas ham. We love All-Clad and this has added to our collection. Even cooking and easy clean-up - highly recommend.

I usually do not write reviews, but I was really impressed with how well it browned the outside skin. I planned to cook a 20 pound stuffed bird for five hours at 375, but when I opened the lid up in four hours it was beautiful, almost perfect. I have always had to remove covers to brown the skin, but not this time. I really was not expecting the skin to look so nice. I'm sure I had a smile on my face when I saw it. It was also very moist. Another thing I noticed was the quality and sturdiness without being too heavy to handle. It keep the meat very warm for a good amount of time after cooking. It looks impressive sitting on the counter too.

This works great as a roasting pan. I will say that it was overpriced at original list. But I don't see any downside to just having a clad bottom, instead of having the sides clad.The reason for the clad sides, as in a saucepan, is to have more even heat up the sides of the pan. That's it. It shouldn't be a status or marketing thing. To me, a roasting pan is just used for roasting and making pan sauces, and you don't have liquids up the sides of the pan for that process. You don't really need it for braising, either. Having the extra weight in the sides would just make the pan heavier, and even slow down the time it takes the interior to get up to temperature a bit.What is great about this is that it's covered. Most high end roasting pans don't have lids, which in my view is just silly. You end up making little aluminum foil lids for them, for part of some roasts, just because the really expensive pan didn't come with one. This also lets you braise, which is really handy, and which you can't do in an open roasting pan.One downside is that the little flat rack is a little awkward for some things. But that's a design trade off for having a lid that works, the sides not being any higher than they already are, and a size to easily fit in all ovens.So my alternative to this, and second best suggestion would be graniteware, at about 1/10th the cost. Enameled steel roasts great, you just have to be very careful making pan sauces without burning, or transfer to another pan to thicken, and they're slightly harder to clean.

Great quality

Al Clad is great cookware. This roaster arrived in pristine condition. Looking forward to using it for years to come. .
