Not the enamel pans I remember.

The Granite Ware 25 lb. covered roaster is not like the enamel pans of my youth. I have used this roaster to roast, simmer and stew poultry and meat. Each time the meat is browned, tender, juicy and nothing sticks to the sides or bottom. The cleanup is a dream. I appreciate the light weight, the ability to use either piece as a bottom and the that I can use both pieces as a roaster when everyone gathers for the holiday.

great roaster, great value. did a 22lb turkey at 325, did not baste, did not open lid. used a convection oven, done (185) in 3 hrs. moist and browned perfect.

good size pan but problems with lid

I purchased this pan, one for myself & one for my friend, to use for cooking whole briskets up to 4 at one time. Unfortunately the lid, for the one I received, seems to be a little narrow b/c it does not sit secure which allows all of the steam escape. I'm unsure if this is a poor design or if I just received a bad lid. I'm contemplating asking the seller to ship me another one & allow me to return the first one at no cost to me. For the price, the pan is great for cooking large quanities & clean up was easy. I will try to use the pan again in the future although I may have to cover the pan with foil instead of using the lid.

best roasters

the service from cooking.com is always great and the blue granite roaster was just what I wanted. They work great for the big turkey at holiday time. Thank you.

One handle please!

I don't like having handles on each side. I MUCH prefer one handle on the top of the roaster. Everytime you check the meat, you have to pull the roaster way out and use both hands. It is so much easier to life the top with one hand. Otherwise it is good.
