Mr Captain Roasting Pan with Rack and Lid 12 Quart,18/10 Stainless Steel Multi-Use Oval Dutch Oven, Induction Compatible Dishwasher/Oven Safe Turkey Roaster,17 Inch

This oval shaped pan, with lid and rack, has offset handles so you don’t have to reach far into the oven to drag it out or even just towards you. The lid has multiple uses, including being its own pan, so you get 2-for-1. It cleans like a dream after a little bit of soaking. I used the lid to defrost my 15 lb turkey. I used the lid to hold the turkey while we carved it, and I used the lid to make gravy, as it aligned on my stovetop just fine. I’m exceedingly happy after its first use and am running to my freezer for the roast I’m doing next once the turkey is done! BYW - I did minimal basting, and took the lid off at the last hour for browning- meat was tender, color was perfect!!!

This pan does a very good job, holds in moisture very well.

Works well for turkey, but I find myself using the flat lid as a pan / serving tray much more frequently .. I only cook turkey once a year, but I've found myself using the flat lid several times. Place it across 2 heating elements on the stovetop and you can use it as a very large pan. I do a lot of sous vide, which requires searing - if I'm doing something like fajitas, then I cut it into strips and sear the strips -but that requires a lot of surface area and this works perfectly.

Was able to roast, broast, brown, bake, make a sauce and complete several dinners. This workhorse has yet to run out of options.

Clever design features include offset handles combined with large capacity. Fits nicely in my Pit Boss pellet vault smoker. Had a little over18" wide by 12" deep space. It is difficult to find roasting pans to optimize the space and meet other criteria. By keeping the handles off the top and offset form ends allows more room for what is inside with clearance on a smaller oven (or smoker). Sturdy enough for 26 pounds of Cochinita Pibil. In Kansas, I prepare this special recipe in this in my smoker instead of in a Pib like in Yucatan. Just a touch of smoke flavors the dish, depending on how tight the lid is. Both the lid and pan are induction-ready for other uses. Cleanup was fairly easy, but I do have a large half to my sink for soaking to get smoke and food scrubbed off.

This Roasting pan is a must have, I bought it for this past thanksgiving and loved everything about it, well made looks great and I was very surprised how big it’s.Holds a 20 pound turkey with lots of space around it. It was very easy to clean at the end of the day definitely would recommend.

Nice, sturdy roaster with thick aluminum core on the base sandwiched by layers of stainless steel. This is heavier than all-aluminum, thin-walled roasters but it's clearly sturdier.A common complaint many have is that pans this size cannot cook a 25 lb. turkey with the lid closed. This can't either but you don't use the lid when roasting, anyway—that's steaming.The offset handles let it fit some ovens that others won't.The lid is designed to be a second roasting pan if you want, same size but shorter with a thinner aluminum core than the pan—way cool!No non-stick surface but it cleans easily. This is replacing a non-stick roaster with a "lifetime guarantee" from a company that is out of business. The non-stick surface is peeling off—this never will.Ok, no rack is included but I can buy one if needed.This is not cheap but there are others costing up to 3x as much. I'm good.

I didn't know how much I needed this until I got it and tried it out. I've roasted a few turkeys and baked a few hams in it and they always turn out great. The lid is a bonus roaster and nice enough to use as a serving dish. It is solid, well made, and a good investment for any kitchen. I'm very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend the Mr. Captain roasting pan.
