All-Clad Stainless Roasting Pan with Rack and Turkey Forks Review

All-Clad Stainless Roasting Pan with Rack and Turkey Forks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Roti models are not made with a three-ply construction with an aluminum core and magnetic stainless exterior. The Roti models are made in China (not America like the rest of the All Clad pots and pans) out of a non-magnetized stainless steel. They're not designed for use on induction or conventional stove tops (a common step in the preparation of gravy).
A curiousity: The All Clad Web site doesn't appear to list the Roti models. I couldn't find it under any category. This model is an orphan.

A must-have when cooking that annual turkey for friends and family, this stainless-steel roasting pan provides the rugged durability and convenient features that help make it a successful event. It includes a nonstick cooking rack that suspends the meat above excess grease and helps ensure effortless food release, plus offers stainless-steel forks for lifting and transporting poultry. Measuring 13 by 16 by 3 inches, the rectangular pan includes a wide flat base, rounded corners, and tall sides that keep contents neatly contained.
The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Its three-ply bonded design features a thick aluminum core sandwiched between an inside layer of 18/10 stainless steel and an outside layer of stainless steel, which work together to ensure fast heat-up times and even heat distribution along the base and up the sides. In addition, the cookware's 18/10 stainless-steel interior won't react with food, which means tomato-based sauces and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. For use conventional gas or electric stovetops, including glass and ceramic. The cookware's solid stainless-steel loop side handles stay cool to the touch and come riveted for safety and long-lasting strength. The versatile cookware can go safely in the oven up to 500 degrees F, and it cleans up easily by hand (recommended) or in the dishwasher. Made in the USA, the cookware carries a limited lifetime warranty.

All-Clad Stainless Petite Roti Pan with Roasting Rack Review

I can't really "review" this pan since I returned it unused, but I have the "same" All-Clad Petit Roti Pan from just a couple of years ago, and this one is now substantially different. My old one had a flat bottom, great for making gravy after you finished your roast. This new one has a ridge around the bottom, where the juices will drip off into these sides. Very difficult to make a gravy when that happens. This is just my opinion as a cook, I really can't comment otherwise on the product, but this change alone was enough for me to send the pan back.

It's kind of like buying your first sofa; purchasing a real roasting pan (tin foil ones from the grocery store don't count) is a marker for adulthood. Don't trust those special occasions and holiday gatherings to inferior cookware. After all you're not just making good food, you're making memories. This superbly crafted roaster comes with a non-stick roasting rack. Now all you need is the bird or roast!

Circulon 16-Inch Rectangular Nonstick Roaster Review

Circulon 16-Inch Rectangular Nonstick Roaster

I bought this recently because of its special price on Amazon.com and its high rating. I purchased it without my wife's knowledge because I had to make a quick decision, so it was a bit dicy about whether or not she would approve.
Well, we used it today (Thanksgiving, 2007) for the very first time. Wow, was it great! It is very sturdy and just the right size to put into a very hot oven without much danger of touching the hot sides of the oven when putting the roaster into or taking it out of the oven. That's because the handles face up on the sides, rather than out, like our previous roaster handles did.
Also, the rack works very well for keeping the turkey off the bottom of the roaster, allowing air flow all the way around the bird. By the way - we roasted a 25.6 lb. turkey, and this roaster had no problem handling it!
The roaster is deep enough to handle any amount of basting/drippings from the meat. Additionally, when we finished with all of the meat and bones, we very easily poured the rest of the grease into a small mouthed jar, without mess. That means that while pouring, the grease did not run down and back on the sides of the roaster, as often happens when pouring liquids out of regular pots and pans.
All in all a very well made non-stick roaster, that is convenient to use, easy to clean and does everything you want a roaster to do (in my humble opinion). I give it 5 stars without reservation or hesitation.

KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions Stainless Steel 16-1/2-Inch Rectangular Roaster with Rack Review

I purchased this item expecting that it would be a light to medium grade stainless steel pan, would be easy to clean up, and would produce well-browned even cooking results. I was very pleased, and feel it's a fabulous value and really good quality. I prepared a wonderful "kurobuta" pork roast, and finished a sauce on top of my stove from the pan juices. There were no hot spots in the pan at all, and after all was said and done, the pan was a breeze to clean - no scouring was even required!
The rack was a pleasant surprise... it is very sturdy, and fits snugly in the pan - elevating contents at an appropriate height, but cradling them in a slightly rounded rack instead of a sharply angled "v" shaped rack. This allows for the liquids to evaporate evenly, coating the food being cooked well and keeping meats moist.
I'm sure the All-Clad pan for almost 4 times the price would perform very well too, but this pan performs very well and is a tremendous value.
