This is my forever roasting pan. The cast iron really holds the heat, and gives great color to the poultry, meats, and vegetables I use it for. Can also go on top of the stove to create nice gravy and sauces. Made in France, this pan is made to last. Staub will not warp like my previous pan, is very easy to clean, withstands very high temperatures, and is a great serving piece. Love all these features which is why I recommend this to anyone sitting on the fence.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pan arrived in perfectly secure packaging, as described, and it looks amazing! It is one of those pieces of bakeware you won't want to put away after you clean it. I love that it works with any type of heat source and I didn't have to spend any time seasoning, I could put it right to work. Obviously, it is still new for me, but it feels like it will last forever, and I love a company like this that will stand behind their products!
You can't beat cast iron for roasting due to the heat conduction and distribution. I love this size for a chicken and adding the vegetables to the pan with the chicken to roast in all the yummy juices from the chicken. I do a roast chicken weekly and they come out moist and golden brown every time! The vegetables are seasoned and roast along with the chicken and come out beautifully. It is nice to have cookware that makes you look like a culinary star!!
This is a great roasting pan because it is of a couple of reasons. First, it's made out of cast iron so that it heats evenly and also retains heat very well so that when I take this from the oven to the table, the food stays hot for a long time. I also love that the sides of the pan are a little higher than most, so it keeps food in well. Lastly, I love that the handles are big and easy to hold.
Enameled inside & out, this large baker handles anything you throw at it. Any cooking surface, any dish you decide, this heavy cast iron baker won't complain!! Cleans quuite easily afterwards as well.
If you need a small roasting pan this works great. it is heavy, being cast iron but this size will do well for a small roast, a casserole or a chicken. The handles are sturdy and flare enough from the body of the pan.
This roasting pan is beautiful in the graphite grey color. It goes for any time of the year. It is also a great roasting pan. The cast iron holds heat so well and browns beautifully.
